Lets Talk Stress Who out there has not experienced this? Just the drive home from work can cause our somewhat calm day to go suddenly off the scales. Everyone comes under stress, the pressures from society leaves us at times feeling as if we are not doing enough or not doing it correctly. Stress- anxiety- tension they are all the same and they all are a threat to our health. Between 50-80% of all illnesses can be triggered or related back to stress. So how do we eliminate stress? Unfortunately we can't just quit our jobs or move to a deserted island. But we can find the triggers to our stress and begin to communicate with others about what is bothering us. For others stress is an overload of tasks. For myself taking on the new responsibilities of The Herb Corner is a new stress for me, plus the fact that I also have a child getting married in a few months. And I have taken on the job of making the brides dress and all the bridesmaids dresses. I also have another child that is graduating High School this year and yet another child that I home school (if you come into the shop you will most likely see him there with me). So as you can see I have some stress going on in my life. I have to admit just before taking over the store I was really starting to stress out, getting short tempered with my family. When I noticed this in myself (or should I say when my husband ever so gently told me I was flipping out) I made up a formula for myself with: 1 part Skullcap 1 part Schisandra 1 part Lemon Balm 1 part Gotu Kola 1 part Elethuro 1/2 part Hops 1 part Passion Flower This formula helped me to calm my nerves, it lowered my blood pressure, lowered my anxiety level and helped me to better adapt to the stress. It also helped me to sleep better. I made this into capsules but I am tincturing it for future use. I have also been drinking a tea to help support and strengthen the nervous system. I've been drinking this for the past few weeks and I will probably be drinking it until the wedding is over. It contains: 1 part Lemon Balm 1 part Lemongrass 1 part Oat straw 1 part Passion Flower 1 part Rosehips 1 part Skullcap 1/4 part orange peel 1/8 part lemon peel

A Neti Pot is used to wash out the nasal passages. When the nasal passages become thick with mucous or too dry or runny it is easier for bacteria and viruses build up causing further problems. Since the nasal passage is the bodies first line of defense against colds a Neti Pot is a good defense against colds and nasal blockages. In folk medicine gargling or sniffing salt water was the first line of defense against a cold. A nasal with a Neti Pot takes this to the next level washing the nasal passages with a salt water solution washes away all of the mucous and impurities from the nasal cavities. And compared to any other technique of washing out the nasal passages this is by far the easiest, quickest and the best I have ever used. Top of Page
