7 Must Have Essential Oils For Cold & Flu Season
With the kids back in school and colder weather on the way, it won’t be long before the sniffles and sneezing begin. That's right, cold and flu season is steadily creeping upon us. But no worries, because there is definitely an essential oil for that!
A look inside of Mother Earth's Medicine Cabinet will show you 7 different essential oils you should add to your collection to help combat cold and flu season. This list of 7 consists of my personal favorites to use.
Mother Earth’s Medicine Cabinet: The Truth About Aztec Clay (Part 2)
The Truth About Aztec Clay (Part 1) went over the science behind the clay, the different forms of it, and a few different ways to use it externally. Today we are going to go over the benefits of using the clay internally.
When using Aztec clay internally there are two important things you will want to be sure to check:
Nature is Paramount to the Human Experience
Nature is good for me because it shows me a different, more expansive side of life that people too often do not expose themselves to in the cubicles of their minds' eye, from the limited contours of the concrete jungle.
Nature’s Elixir: Lemons
When life gives you lemons, have them, for they burst with vitality…
They smell great, are a great addition to salads and drinks, are very healthy, but – and that’s a big but – they are hardly the world’s best tasting food. Known and primarily used for their sour juice and bitter-sour zest, lemons can really add a zing to your daily diet.
Lemon, nutritionally speaking
Finding My Own Expression In Yoga
I hate kombucha. I hadn’t tried it until recently, but danggg. It tastes like spiked vinegar and apple juice. No thank you. As much as the yoga blogs and Pinterest posts rave about its benefits…I can’t. On top of this aversion, I also don’t have long skinny legs, a calm demeanor, or cool tattoos. But the good news is: I’m still a yogi.
Healthy Dish: Bruschetta
Tomato season is officially in full bloom, and apart from making salsas, pasta sauces and BLTs, bruschetta is another great way to serve up this year’s bounty. This recipe is essentially like a Caprese salad on a crostini, which makes for a delicious afternoon snack or appetizer before any summer meal.
Unique Savasana Options
There are no real rules when it comes to savasana. Corpse pose is an homage to the meditative state the original practitioners of yoga committed to for hours after asanas. The purpose is self-reflection and meditation—but that doesn’t always look the same way. Some yogis find today’s most common pose aspect (laying down with legs and arms slightly spread) uncomfortable for their lower back, so they choose to bend their knees. Some prefer to sit in a seated position.
Ayurvedic Practices For Better Oral Health
Going to the dentist can be a real drag, and is generally not something that we look forward to. However, it’s important to remember that our oral health sets the foundation for the rest of our body, so it’s imperative that we do everything possible to keep our gums, teeth, and mouth healthy.
Whole Grain Vegan French Toast
Enjoy this departure from the typically heavy and sugary French Toast! With all natural sweeteners like vanilla extract and bananas, you can satisfy your need for weekend brunch and still feel good about it later. The silken tofu in this recipe helps to add thickness to the batter and a little bit of protein to keep you going. For a delicious treat, top it off with some fresh berries and whipped coconut cream!
