I have always had an interest in a more natural way of healing. From when I was little I remember my Mother saying there’s a cure for everything in nature. And there is, we just have to look for it.

At the beginning of this year, I slipped on ice and broke my ankle. My recovery is still 9 months later a slow process. Not being able to work has given me the gift of time to contemplate my values and be able to do a lot of research that I otherwise would not have time for working full time.

Alternative therapies can sometimes be the best route but do always check with your Doctor. I have been making my own soap, creams, and balms for years…because I want to know what exactly I am putting on my skin. But even more importantly I want to know what I am putting in my body, which is why I like to cook from scratch and know all the ingredients. Preferring nature over chemicals, all you have to do is look at the ingredients list on food products. It’s downright scary what’s in some of them.

I much prefer essential oils to get rid of headaches over pills. Now I’m not a granola-eating Mamma Earth type, but I believe you can indeed incorporate much better natural choices you put both on your body and in your body. Sometimes it’s the smallest changes to your life that can make the biggest impact.

Cheers,

Nicola
