NATURE RX 🌲 // ⠀ ⠀ This week I’m joining @dr.bryant and many other naturopathic doctors and health practitioners for ADRENAL WEEK to bring you some tips to reduce stress and help you find balance in your life.⠀ ⠀ The adrenals are two triangular shaped glands that sit on top of your kidneys. They are in communication with the brain and regulate the stress response. Overtime and periods of prolonged stress our adrenal glands can lose their ability to function optimally and “Adrenal Fatigue” can occur. ⠀ ⠀ I treat lots of adrenal dysfunction in my practice and I always like to start with the very basics before diving into any herbal or nutraceutical protocol. ⠀ ⠀ Lifestyle changes and habits are an important place to begin at any stage of adrenal dysfunction. ⠀ ⠀ Spending time in nature is a great way to reduce stress, calm the mind and get some exercise. Most of us can agree that we feel better when we spend time outdoors! ⠀ ⠀ Getting outdoors doesn’t need to mean going for a long hike or scaling a mountain. It can simply be taking a walk in your neighborhood park, or sitting by the ocean. ⠀ ⠀ —⠀ ⠀ Be sure to follow @dr.bryant as he will be sharing his own and others tips all week! ⠀ ⠀ #adrenalweek
Fall equinox foraging success 🍂🍄⠀ ⠀ Reishi is one of my favourite mushrooms to use medicinally, especially in the fall. This beautiful queen of mushrooms will be sliced and dried and used over the next few months to make immune and liver loving tea and broth with. Infinitely grateful for nature and the incredible plant medicine it provides 🌿🙏🏼
Swinging into the weekend... like hiii where is time going?!⠀ ⠀ Anyone else feel like this year has zipped by? ⠀ ⠀ I’m just trying to stay grounded and appreciate the little moments!! ⠀ ⠀ How do you stay grounded? Do you meditate? Do you journal? Do you spend time in nature? Let me know in the comments below!
Sauna or Spaceship? ⠀ ⠀ Still can’t get over how incredible this wood burning sauna was. I feel like if we ever own a large enough property building something like this is now a must!! ⠀ ⠀ #saltypearfarm
