Soured Foods – A Blessing to the Gut!

Good Health Begins in the Gut!

I have wanted to learn to make homemade sauerkraut for years. My husband loves the stuff! When we eat soured foods or cultured foods it’s beneficial to maintaining the proper balance of intestinal flora in our systems. This balance is paramount to maintaining good health.

 

This morning I came across a wonderfully easy recipe for sauerkraut and one for kimchi. Thank you to Sonnet and her wonderful blog!

Here’s the sauerkraut recipe how-to-make-sauerkraut

I just love the illustrations and how easy the recipe is! I can do this!!! and we can stop purchasing the expensive raw sauerkraut at the health food store!

Here’s the kimchi recipe  How+to+make+kimchi

 

I’m truly looking forward to making each of these! Please let me know when YOU make these! I would love to share our success together! And remember, NO ONE cares about your good health as much as YOU do! So try a new approach… you’ll be grateful you did!

Have you said this? I know I have! Though I have never been formally diagnosed with chronic pain, all of my symptoms point to the fact that I have suffered from a few debilitating episodes…

As an Energy Practitioner…

I have found that all pain experienced by the body is a manifestation of negative energy festering that your body is trying to alert you to, so you can release it. I’ve worked with many clients who have experienced stress and tension leave after a session. I realize I cannot be available for everyone at a moment’s notice, but I can offer help in the meantime.headache

Have you tried Essential Oils? 

Essential oils are amazing in that they offer comfort to your body when dealing with discomfort, but they also assist you in releasing negative emotions. If you are prone to stress or tension, that is your body’s way of coping with the negative energy. Why not give it the support it needs? Here is a list of essential oils that I personally have used with great success, and some that my close friends have used and recommend as well.

There are many choices

  • Peppermint is the Essential Oil comfort! It is the component in most blends!
  • The Tension Blend was designed for comfort during tense times to relieve tension in the neck, head and back. I love the smell of it… almost too much… it has become candy to me, and it relieves tension throughout my entire body!
  • For me, I normally reach for the Soothing Blend. I’ve had great success applying it on my brain stem on the back of my neck and across my forehead.
  • I had heard people also use Frankincense & Lavender successfully, so I that’s a choice!
  • One time those choices didn’t work, so I relented and took some over the counter remedy, but it didn’t work. I felt inspired to try Helichrysm. It was what I needed that time.
  • My friend with and intense history her whole life swears by Lemongrass. It has helped support and comfort me with the uplifting fragrance.
  • I have another gal who drinks the Metabolic Blend for support and swears by it!

Everyone is different

Stress & Tension is a little different for each individual! That’s very important to understand! It’s so important to have these types of remedies available along with your over the counter remedies or prescriptions. We live in a society that is very impatient with pain. Why not use supportive products that can be utilized safely and effectively. You have many choices! Having the oils on hand in my home have been such a blessing to me!
