Smashing Pumpkins... and Spice
It’s already in the stores. Every store. Every. Where. Pumpkin, Pumpkin Spice, even Autumn Spice, the one that tries to deceive you that it’s not pumpkin, but it is. There’s tea, popcorn, soap, air freshener, cleaning agents, even scented trash bags. I mean, you can’t get away from the stuff!

Building My Home Apothecary (Pt. 2)
Hey-O! In my last blog, which you can find here, I talked about how I kind of got started, and am experimenting on my husband. I also said I'd make another blog post soon. This isn't exactly "soon", but here it is, nonetheless.

Apple Cider Vinegar for Strep Throat
I awoke one morning and before I got out of bed, my first swallow told me my throat was on fire. At the same moment, a voice in my head said, "Strep throat!" Looking in the mirror confirmed I did, indeed, have Strep, because I had the white spots at the back of my throat.

Eat Organic to Live Longer
The American diet is made up of animal products. Americans believe animal products are a healthy food source because of the protein in meat, dairy, and eggs. Young children are taught to drink their milk because they need to grow and have strong bones. The USDA has a food pyramid showing two to three servings of dairy, eggs, and meat a day, that is almost every meal. As well as taste and appearance, animal products are packaged so they are easy to cook at home. But what Americans are not aware of is the way these animal products are made so they taste good. Cows, pigs, chickens, and all other animals that are farmed to be eaten are pumped up with antibiotics and hormones in order for them to appear more appetizing. Consuming these antibiotics and hormones leads to health problems such as resisting antibiotics prescribed by your doctor, as well as early puberty development in girls. However, there was a time before the industrial era when all food was made naturally, or organically. And today, there are many farms and grocery stores that provide organic animal products. If Americans start buying more organic products, eventually there will be less animal products processed with hormones and antibiotics. Then one day, everything will be made organically. Antibiotics and hormones would only be used in doctor’s offices and hospitals. The American people will be more natural and healthy again.

All Natural Food Finds
Healthy Choice and Lean Cuisine have been making healthier versions of "tv dinners" for many years. They have steamers, they have desserts, they have just about everything. A while back I was in my local Stop & Shop and realized they have something else—they have ALL NATURAL dinners. Normally I don't shop in the frozen food area except maybe to buy produce in the off season. I was walking by and I saw a 5/$10 sign and then of course on select varieties a 6/$10 with a "must by six" label. Intrigued, I went to the case and I was completely shocked to see these all natural frozen dinner choices. There are others available, these just happen to be the four that I decided to try.

What Is Kava?
Kava is integrally interwoven into the history and culture of the Hawaiian Islands, playing an important role in rituals and sacred ceremonies. Upon arriving in Wilemea Bay on the Garden Isle of Kauai, Captain Cook became the first white man to sample the mysterious liquor of the royal Hawaiian Kings.

Natural Medicines
"Natural Medicine" This is a catch all term used by a wide variety of therapists and even pharmaceutical big business. My definition of “natural medicine” is the use and application of therapeutic interventions that do not involve synthetic or artificial substances.
