Herbs and You
Gut, nerves, blood, hormones when herbs get to work, where do you think they start?

@Alicia Phillips The gut is such a HUGE part of our healing. Do you have any incite on why our Gut flora is so important?

@Lynette Wallace Yes! The digestive system alerts the rest of the body to get ready for nourishment. When we see, smell, or taste herbs, the brain begins the “cephalic phase” of digestion stimulating saliva, stomach acid, enzymes, and bile before we even swallow. Smelling herbal preparations can increase this response. Their aromatic compounds travel through the olfactory nerves to the brain, gently engaging the nervous system just like taste receptors on the tongue help activate digestion.

Friday’s Recipe
Lavender Tea Recipe 1 teaspoon dried culinary lavender buds 1 cup hot (not boiling) water How to make it: 1. Place lavender in a cup or tea infuser 2. Pour hot water over the buds 3. Cover and steep for 5–7 minutes 4. Strain, sip slowly, and breathe it in Optional: Add a touch of honey or blend with chamomile for extra calm. THINK ABOUT IT: Why do we pour water over herbals instead of adding our herbals into the water? 🤔

@Lynette Wallace Lavender Milk! Try it with the foam on top. It is such an aromatic thrill ride.

@Lynette Wallace Those are really nice choices. Have you ever tried Golden Rod? It tinctures beautifully, and I like it for allergies.

@Vanessa Bolden Winter can be very taxing on our immune systems. Less Vitamin D and staying indoors puts our bodies at a disadvantage. Fever is one of the ways our bodies communicate, take note of additional symptoms to better judge how to assist and recalibrate your system. (Ex: headaches, nausea, numbness, urine color, cough) Any of these when paired with fever can indicate cause. From there you can make your selection of herbs and preparations.

@Vanessa Bolden Tea is a great method to treat the circulatory system! This gentle approach is great for long term usage and slow introductions to new herbs.

@Shay Johnson Welcome In 🤗 Powdered capsules can make herbs very accessible, and calculating dosage a lot easier. When formulating with powdered whole herbs Your formula will look like this. Capsules per dose = (Daily mg ÷ mg per capsule) ÷ doses per day
