I can’t stop reminiscing about the glamping tent my sister and I stayed in on Maui. It was so incredible to wake up to the sound of tropical birds and the subtle lapping of the ocean just steps from our tent. ⠀ ⠀ When traveling I love to find ways to stay close to nature. Be it camping, glamping, hiking or exploring. This planet is truly the most beautiful thing. Forever grateful for momma earth 🌎 🙏🏼
Why I add mushrooms to my coffee ☕️ 🍄⠀ ⠀ It is so funny (and awesome!) to me that mushroom coffee has become so trendy. A number of years ago when I would tell people I added medicinal mushrooms to my coffee I would get the WEIRDEST looks!! I’m sure people thought I was off my rocker. ⠀ ⠀ Fast forward to 2019 and it is now officially cool to spike your coffee with mushrooms 😝⠀ ⠀ I will often cycle the mushrooms I am using. Right now it’s all about reishi in my coffee. ⠀ ⠀ I use @harmonic_arts dual extract reishi powder. This particular mushroom extract is highly concentrated due to being extracted in both alcohol and steam. This ensures all those wonderful medicinal constituents in the mushroom are extracted into the product. ⠀ ⠀ Reishi is:⠀ ⠀ ✨ Amazingly supportive for the immune system⠀ ⠀ ✨ An adrenal tonic ⠀ ⠀ ✨ Calming for the mind⠀ ⠀ ✨ Great for the liver⠀ ⠀ ✨ Cholesterol lowering ⠀ ⠀ When I drink coffee with reishi I get less jitters and feel a smoother energy from it versus just plain coffee on its own. ⠀ ⠀ In my naturopathic practice I am often telling my patients that coffee isn’t for everyone, at all times. In many instances I actually encourage people to take a break from it depending on their unique health concerns. So if coffee isn’t jiving with you right now please listen to what your body is telling you!!
Yarrow 🌿✨ ⠀ ⠀ [ Achillea millefolium ]⠀ __ ⠀ ⠀ This plant is abundantly in bloom right now. I find yarrow such a fascinating plant as it is one of the oldest medicinal plants known to humankind! ⠀ ⠀ It has natural antibiotic properties & is a hemostatic meaning that it helps clotting to stop the flow of blood from wounds. Once when we were camping in the back country I witnessed its ability to efficiently stop bleeding when my husband cut himself deeply with a knife (boys... 🙄). ⠀ ⠀ In my practice I also use it for ⠀ ▫️ heavy menstrual bleeding⠀ ▫️ fever support ⠀ ▫️ as a bitter tonic to help with digestion ⠀ ⠀ ⠀ Do you incorporate medicinal plants into your life? What herbs are you vibing with right now?? ⠀ ⠀ 🌿🌿🌿
This little cutie is 1 today! 🎈⠀ ⠀ I can’t believe how much Althea has changed my life for the better. Never would I have imagined that getting a kitten could do this!! ⠀ ⠀ You have brought me so much joy, you make me laugh on the daily and I will never get enough of the love and cuddles you give me. ⠀ ⠀ Thank you for making our house a home sweet one 💗💗💗
What beliefs are you holding onto that are no longer serving you?? What can you do to release these?⠀ ⠀ 🌻🌻🌻⠀ ⠀ Today I release the made up belief that I am not bringing value to this world and to the lives of others. ⠀ ⠀ How about you? ⠀ ⠀
