TWO THINGS EVERYONE SHOULD HAVE IN THEIR PANTRY TO HELP WITH A COUGH
Fall is the time of year that germs and sicknesses tend to ramp up. WIth everyone back in school, eating more sugar than real Whole Foods and not getting lots of direct time in the sunshine, immune systems are at a new low and are more susceptible to getting a cold. So many people I’ve talked to are dealing with all the things being passed around and especially coughs. I do feel like there is a need for modern medicine if symptoms are VERY bad but for the most part I do believe that most things can be handled at home. Coughs are interesting to treat because how different they…

This post is in partner with Alex’s Elderberries. All thoughts and opinions are my own. Please read my disclaimer page for more information.

Also my husband is a Doctor of Chiropractic so between him and myself, we are very confident in our decisions when it comes to treating our family holistically.

Having a non toxic kitchen was a big goal of mine when I started switching to safer and it is something that I am still striving for. Since I transitioned to a non toxic lifestyle,…

I encourage you to do your own research and also consult with your health care provider before trying anything you are not familiar with. If you follow natural minded people or are somewhat “crunchy” yourself, you’ve probably heard about CBD (Cannabidiol) oil. A few years ago this was not the case as CBD has quickly become a health trend. It’s one that I stand behind after using for a long period of time.

Essential Oils and Spring Allergies: Connecting the Dots
Runny nose, sneezing, lots of congestion and just feeling yourself? Seasonal allergies take a tole on a lot of people this time of year, myself included. I’ve asked my friends their holistic remedies and along with a few that I’ve picked up along the way I’ve used all the “tricks” during the past few allergy seasons. Living life holistically can be hard when you don’t have creditable resources to use when you need them. For that reason, I think it’s important to house all the remedies I’ve found for treating a cold/allergies holistically and why I choose to incorporate these into my family’s lives. I’m including the ones that I…
