While they bring back nostalgic memories of traveling to California to visit family, I shudder now as an adult when I think about what they are made with… corn syrup, synthetic dyes l...

In 2020, we found ourselves evacuating from our home in Oregon at 1:00 AM in the morning. Wildfires were not that common here until more recent times, and never in my life did I think I would find myself running from one in the middle of the night. With animals shoved into cars as best as we could, ...

The liver is such an super important system for all of us! It’s responsible for detoxification and cleaning out all the gunk that goes through our body — I like to think of it as being similar to a car filter.

With too many personal experiences of doctors letting me down or prescribing me something that didn’t solve the root ...

While new herbs interest me (and I love to study them) I don’t particularly care for rare ones that are hard to get. I love using herbs that are easily accessible — even better if they grow in my own garden. Licorice root, star anise, turmeric, and chamomile are just a few! Growing herbal medicine i...

Life can feel overwhelming sometimes — it happens to the best of us! With all of the demands of family, work, and daily life, many carry the weight of anxiety and stress without really realizing how deeply it affects their health. And while lifestyle and a prayerful life are a must, natural remedies...

There’s a reason why people have been enjoying herbal tea for centuries. Not only do most blends taste wonderful, but herbal teas also offer so many health benefits. Choose between brews that calm and soothe or ones that may help strengthen your immune system.

We’ve long sung the praises of elderberry here on the blog! We love it in syrup for pancakes, in chia pudding, and even in homemade sea moss gummies. Not only are elderberries delicious, but they also boast numerous medicinal and health benefits. One of the better ways of consuming it is in homemade...

This time of year, the colds and flu are around more than we would like, and they have us dreaming of warmer summer days when we have bugs and humidity to deal with instead. While many of us have seen those bright, colorful cough drops at the grocery store as part of the cold and flu care section, w...

Love the Starbucks®  drink popularly referred to as Medicine Ball by customers, but don’t love having to run out to the coffee shop and spend a ton of money on it? You’re speaking our language. While the drink is certainly tasty — and could be helpful if you’re under the weather — it can get a bit p...
