Pollen sucks. I'm pretty sure it's my husband's one weakness. It turns him from my Iron Man into a sniffly, snotty, congested mess. And seeing as how I never enjoy seeing my man suffer the clutches of springtime seasonal allergies, I came up with a remedy that had him cleared up within minutes. There are … Continue reading ACV Allergy Killer Drink
Homemade ACV
Apple Cider Vinegar (ACV) is a staple at my house. We use it for everything from medicine, to cooking, to health and beauty. It truly is indispensable.

Tinctures

MTHFR
No, it's not text shorthand for a swear word... MTHFR stands for methylenetetrahydrofolate reductase. Wonderful! But what is it? It's a gene, more specifically a genetic mutation. And I have it!

Maggie’s First Harvesting
Miss Maggie Moo is almost 4 months old today and I noticed that she's been grooming an awful lot more than usual. So, I decided to harvest her wool. She is an English Angora so you're supposed to be able to just pluck out their loose wool as they "blow coat" every 3-4 months. I … Continue reading Maggie’s First Harvesting
Top 5 Favorite Herbal/Alternative Medicine Resources
I am that person in my family that gets made fun of for being a crazy hippie who teaches yoga and avoids doctor visits. I'm also that person in my family that every one calls asking for home remedies when they feel sick or get injured. I wear both hats proudly.
