I was meant to be a healer...
As far back as my memories go I've had a deep desire to help people feel better heal. Shame on me for not realizing how many options there are in terms of healing. I grew up thinking I would be a doctor, my whole life I had strove to be in the medical field, it just makes sense to me, I understand illnesses and the body. Fast forward to college and I wasn't even a semester in when I knew medicine wasn't for me anymore. I took up advertising HA! I figured out quickly, in college, I was excellent with people. Long story short; dropped out of college, joined the military, had a sales job, and now I have my work at home job, I listened to the powers that be and realized herbalism is my calling.
What the heck are am I talking about, right? I'm talking about using mother nature to heal illness, injury, mental and physical! I want to use everything, roots, bark, flower petals, leaves, stems and nuts. Holistic treatment or alternative medicine treats the "whole" you. Spiritual, physical, and mental...rather than "you have a headache, here's some Tylenol" we get to the root of the problem (which is probably stress of some sort).
Speaking of Tylenol:
I want everyone to know that Tylenol originates from the willow tree. I also want you to know that Willow [tree] will cause far less damage to your stomach than Tylenol or any of it's sister pills. We all know someone who has stomach ulcers because of a medicine. We all have watched the advertisements on television for drugs and their side effects. How many times have you heard the side effects list for a drug and thought "holy cow, I'm better off with my initial problem"?
I won't even go into the ridiculous amount of money we shovel out for "healthcare" and "medicine".
I am also not encouraging you to give your doctor the finger and start searching the closest patch of growing plants to treat yourself. I am encouraging you to stick around and read about natural treatments, allow me to share my knowledge of herbs and the benefits.
If homesteading and self sufficiency is my dream, then herbal medicine knowledge is a must!
