Mother Earth provides medicine for all forms of healing, helping in many aspects of our overall well-being. Her medicines are strong and they heal our minds, bodies, and spirits.
Psychiatric Disorders such as anxiety, depression, obsessive-compulsive disorder, bipolar disorder and phobic conditions can be treated naturally just as any physical ailment or disorder can. Mother Earth’s medicine is amazing in that way.
I remember those days when I still lived at home, spoiled by a mom and a gran who love nothing more than feeding and caring for the family.
If I had just a hint of a sniffle, I would be plied with home remedies, most of them involving honey. Basic honey water for something mild, or the famous arad milk for more serious colds.

The collective consciousness of the country holds very different views and contrasting beliefs to what the west holds as “truth.” Therefore, reality is literally different as well.
Intense workouts, heavy lifting, and manual labor can all lead to sore muscles. Reaching into the kitchen cabinet or bending over to pick something off the floor can provoke the pain. The discomfort has caused the simplest task to become unbearable. Ibuprofen may be your immediate response.
