Wellness

For generations, people have passed down trusted wellness methods, traditionally nourishing foods, and natural remedies because they found they work. In our modern world, we’ve grown so far away from stewarding our basic health ourselves with simple ingredients to complex labels. Yet, more and more people are starting to see the value of knowing traditional ways to prevent illness, increase health, and embrace the joy of knowing their bodies. Here we’ll take a walk and chat about natural wellness skills, so we don’t forget what our great-grandparents and before them knew so well.

Something I find interesting in making natural remedies from scratch for basic wellness needs is how clean and self-sustainable the practice is. You can grow your own herbal ingredients, or support small farmers and local growers you trust who do. You can also make larger portions that last, often for less than store-bought. It’s cleaner for your health and the world, regenerative, and worth the extra time it takes to learn and make yourself. With a natural wellness mindset, you’re looking not only to know what is in your remedies but also why they are used.

Nourishing Our Bodies

I believe food is part of what gives a person wellness. If we don’t take into account what we put into our bodies, then we are denying the fact we are a whole person that needs treatment. Much like I view the earth and soil health, what you put into it will produce results for the whole ecosystem that lives there, and grow out from it. Poor ingredients poured into the soil will produce a sick soil base that cannot sustain the plant life growing out from it, let alone be a healthy environment. If we feed ourselves nourishing foods, we will better support our body’s wellness needs, and build a stronger healthier system.
