As common as sleep apnea might be, chances are that you may have it and yet not even realize it. Sleep apnea comes in different types, but they all share one main characteristic. And this is a temporary pause in breathing as you sleep that lasts for a few seconds and can occur anywhere from a couple of times to dozens of time throughout the night. Natural Remedies for Sleep…
Nourish & Love Herbal Tinctures are made from plants grown in the Belize rainforest. A couple of years ago I traveled to Belize to study with Dr. Rosita Arvigo and learn with other Botanists, Midwives, Acupuncture Dr’s, Naturopaths and Healers. It was an amazing two weeks and life changing. I learned so much those weeks, but my favorite part was all the rainforest walks with Rosita, where she would teach…
One of my dearest blogging friends, Donielle from Natural Fertility and Awareness and author of Naturally Knocked Up, has started a new business called Apothecary Kids. She and her husband are making herbal salve products that are super awesome. They are safe for kids of any age, and great for adults, too. I have used a similar salve since my daughter was a tiny baby, but I could only get…
Oh, lice. How I really dislike you. (I would like to say I hate lice, but I’m trying to teach my daughter not to use the word hate and I try very hard to not feel hate towards anything, even lice. Because even lice had something good to teach me. But oh, lice, you tempt me.) If you have just discovered lice on your kid and you need to know…
Trying to find a natural deodorant that really works is like searching for the Holy Grail. I know because I have been searching for one since I was 18. Most women, like myself, have the best intentions for their health, but after trying every natural deodorant known to man, they give up and just stick to what works. For me, I use a natural kind in the winter when it’s…
I am a huge believer in self care. Taking care of yourself is vital to both your health and your ability to care for another person. I spent years wishing I had been mothered and taken care of better, but then it dawned on me that I could just take care of myself. Instead of hoping for the perfect parent I decided to be my own parent. Becoming a licensed…
One of my biggest goals as a mother is to understand my daughter as best I can. Not only do I want to a good mother, I want to be the kind of mother she needs. I want to be able to be flexible to meet her needs and in the her unique ways. I don’t want to just randomly pick a parenting style or technique because some expert said…
I love taking a bath at night as a way to relax and unwind, they have long been a place a solace and restoration for me. When I pregnant with Penelope, I took one every night and used that time to talk and connect with her spirit. They are the most cost effective self care/body work therapy if you can’t afford a massage or acupuncture appointment from a professional.…
Over the years my homeopathic remedy cabinet has grown. Each time a new illness pops up I learn how to treat with homeopathy. Very quickly it became my go to way to treat anything. I think that very rarely do people need antibiotics, I am talking a handful of times in your lifetime, not a handful of times per year. Antibiotics do so much damage to your body, even…
This is the year of the uterus here at M+BL! I took a life-changing training back in January about how to put a uterus back into it’s proper place. I also learned about all the health issues that can manifest in women who have a displaced uterus and some amazing self-healing tools like Vaginal Steam Baths and Castor Oil Packs. Today I want to talk about things that may…
