Guys, guys guy! I have something for you to try out! Do a quick experiment for me? Go and grab a cheese grater from the kitchen and give the palms of your hands a good ol' rub for an hour. Then, after an hour take those hands and some table salt and give it all a good rub. Properly press your hands together. Imagine washing them and how you run your fingers together as they interlock... get all those little granules right in there!

To no one’s surprise, life can really kick you in the rear... and scratch you in the eye and rip out your hair all before breakfast. And when you’re busting your tail taking care of a family, putting your best foot forward at work, and/or planning a large event or trip, the stress and exhaustion can leave you feeling empty and hopeless. Stress causes digestion disfunction, mood swings, headaches, and loss of focus; not to mention the aging and weight inconsistencies, which just stresses you out even more.
Sabrina LeePublished 6 years ago in LongevityDreaming = Exhausting
I am so tired. I don't know what it is. I sleep so much, but it feels like it is never enough. I must be getting between seven and nine hours a night at least, which is more than enough. Those around me see that I sleep a lot and think I am being lazy, but I'm really not. I can't help it. All I want to do is sleep. I honestly could sleep forever.

The use of botanical medicine(s) can be used as a primary (before disease or injury), secondary (reduce effects of disease or injury), or tertiary (lessens the impact of illness or injury) prevention-based care. The benefits of botanical medicine, despite its being considered an "alternative" medicinal practice, has been integrated into the lives of many cultures to ensure balance of the different dimensions of health.

Who doesn’t have some form of autism? I don’t know anyone who says they don’t have some sort of disorder. It seems as if we need this label to feel part of the group. People get annoyed if something hasn’t been hung up right, or someone hasn’t buttoned their shirt right. Everyone is busy making everything “perfect” but my question is why? This is what I am going to find out.

The shamans and healers of old always looked at the whole person they were treating. They knew that a person was so much more than just a physical vessel called the body. In fact, treating the soul was first and foremost so that the body could begin its healing process.
