Why Isn’t Natural Healing Working For Me?
One of the aspects of holistic healing that is most beneficial to people is that it usually takes into account a person’s individual temperament and unique needs. I say, usually, because sometimes even “holistic” practitioners propagate the idea that “this herb, food, method or product” is good for everyone.

Is Your Health Food Safe?
Ironically, last year, the only time I got sick from food was when I had just eaten a typical “health food” meal filled with vegetables as a main dish and a salad on the side. After this meal I had a very bad case of food poisoning for the next 24 hours. I am sure […]

Your Herbal “Financial Stemulus” Package
Ok, I admit I didn’t make that up. Our local florist has that on their sign and I thought it was so clever! But it also fits what I wanted to talk about today. During rough economic times (be it now or another time) I often find people struggling to keep up with their natural […]
Are You Naturally Caffeinated?
I always tell people “I am naturally caffeinated”. I have three teenagers, I run a business and a household on my own and I’m always actively doing something. Sometimes at night I can hardly sleep.
