What is Gemmotherapy?

 

It’s not surprising that you’ve never heard of gemmotherapy.  It’s relatively unknown in the U.S. right now except for a few practitioners who are teaching and sharing it.

Gemmotherapy is a plant-based healing modality made from the emerging buds and shoots from specific trees and shrubs.  What sets gemmotherapy apart is that the material used to make the extracts contain the embryonic cells of the plant and are not only the most nutrient dense part of the plant, but have incredible regenerative properties.

The purpose of gemmotherapy is to reduce inflammation in the body, restore the elimination and drainage pathways, and to support the adrenals.  The extracts work on a cellular level to clean and tonify the cells and organs.

Homeopathy and Gemmotherapy

I absolutely love gemmotherapy and have such great results with the extracts!  One of the other reasons I love it is because it works so synergistically with homeopathy.  Normally, you wouldn’t mix homeopathy with another healing modality, like medicinal herbs, because you can confuse the symptom picture and so you don’t know what’s working.  But gemmotherapy is not only very powerful in its own right, but it can actually help homeopathic remedies work better.

Do You Have The Holiday Blues? Here’s A Powerful Solution!

 

As we come out of the holiday season, many people find themselves feeling tired, worn out, or suffering from a deep melancholy and trying desperately to pull out of it.

 

The demands of modern-day life can seem so overwhelming.  Coming back to real life after winter break, traveling, and festivities can be challenging.  We go back to work, have bills to pay, and are getting the kids back into a regular routine.  It’s no wonder many people are left dealing with minor depression in a quest to “get back to normal”!

 

Sometimes these demands of life may elicit strong emotions within us such as worry, fear, frustration, and hopelessness. While these are normal emotions that we all occasionally deal with, we don’t want these to develop into a long-term state of being.  This will not only negatively affect our emotions, but our overall state of health.

 

If you’re in the middle of January and still feeling mentally and physically sluggish and despairing, there’s one surprising practice that can help clear the cobwebs.

Do You Have a Natural Health Strategy?

For most of us, being healthy in today’s environment doesn’t happen naturally.

Busy, stressful lifestyles create havoc with our immune and endocrine systems.

Convenience calls to us around every corner.  So does the couch and our favorite Netflix show.

Pre-packaged foods allow us to quickly eat without spending time preparing or cooking.

Sitting is the new smoking.  You may work out for an hour every day, but if most of that day is spent sitting, you’re not doing yourself any favors!

In short, if we desire good health, we have to work for it!

So what’s your strategy?

Flu Fears

We sure don’t need the media to tell us that this year’s flu is a doozy!  Everywhere I go I hear the sounds of hoarse coughing, sneezing, and sniffling.  Emergency rooms are overflowing.  Recent reports on the deaths from flu are fanning the flames of fear and anxiety.  There was a story just this week announcing the deaths of a healthy, 40-year-old woman and a 10-year-old boy.  It was this last news story that prompted me to reach out to you.

Words That Feed the Soul

I recently participated in my friend Renee’s Soul Purpose Success Challenge.  One part of the challenge involved coming up an affirmation to counter the energy of fear that’s so pervasive when it comes to stepping out and speaking your truth.  Since I’ve never really been an affirmation or mantra person, this was a little tough for me.  I enjoy other people’s affirmations but have never really taken the time to come up with any that speak into my life.  I acknowledged the fear but I kind of glossed over the mantra part….and Renee noticed!

Homeschool Homeopathy for Busy Mamas!

Hey there!  The world is in desperate need of a paradigm shift.  Life expectancy in the U.S. appears to be falling.  Diseases that primarily affected older people are now striking the young.  Our children are sick and the percentage of people who regularly take OTC and prescription medications is staggering.  The U.S. spends an incredible amount of money on health care, and yet, our population is considered among the sickest in the developed world.  We KNOW something is wrong!  What can we do?

More and more people are beginning to understand the problems with our current health care system and are turning to prevention and natural methods of healing.  Homeopathy, which is already widely used in Europe and India, is gaining in popularity in the U.S.  While I absolutely love this,  I’m seeing a huge disconnect.  People are trying to learn the practical aspects of homeopathy without a TRUE understanding of how homeopathy works, or even how the healing process takes place.  Homeopathy, or any other natural method of healing, is not as effective if you’re using it while still locked in the allopathic mindset.  Doing this leads to frustration and confusion.  What do you do if you’re unable to interpret what the response is to a remedy?  What if the symptoms get worse?  What does it mean if a past resolved symptom reoccurs?  A deeper comprehension of healing with homeopathy is needed in order to really use it to its fullest potential.

Homeopathy is simply not as effective if it is being used while still locked in an allopathic mindset.

We have to change our thinking and educate ourselves in this area.  My new Facebook group, Homeschool Homeopathy for Busy Mamaswas born out of this desire to help mamas begin shifting their mindsets when it comes to true health and healing.  I want to help you not only use homeopathy effectively but UNDERSTAND the why and how of the healing process.

If you’re interested in being a part of a warm, supportive community learning and working together for the health of our families, I’d be honored if you’d join us!

Teaching Kids about Homeopathy

blog-teaching-kids-homeopathy

For my family, homeopathy and home schooling are a lifestyle, but I recently realized that I’ve been remiss in combining the two!  Homeopathy was a part of our lives long before home schooling. Except for a couple doses of Tylenol my oldest received when she was an infant, my kids have never taken pharmaceutical drugs.  From infancy, they’ve all simply taken homeopathic remedies when needed, so I never did much explaining, and they simply took what was offered.

I’ve started to remedy the situation by going into more detail about homeopathy and why homeopathic remedies are superior, in most cases, to pharmaceuticals.  I’ve also started teaching them how the body works and why suppressing symptoms is so harmful.  Fevers are one of the easiest illnesses to explain.
