We work ourselves ragged, we stop making time for self care, start eating on the go, our schedules are filled to the brim and we don’t make time to stop, reset, regroup. In our downtime with our families or friends we start “indulging” more as a “treat” or “reward”, because “Hey, I’ve been working hard! […]
Saturn- Satan- The Malefic Planet
Sounds scary doesn’t it? Well Saturn is a bit scary, well a lot scary, if you ignore it’s lessons. In a nutshell, Saturn rules deep committed self discipline.

Why I’m NOT An Allopathic Herbalist

Mini Herb Profile | Leonurus cardiaca ~ Motherwort
Motherwort or the Lionhearted herb. This plant… no surprise is for mothers of all kinds. The overworked, overstretched, type A personalities who go, go, go, who are hard on themselves, expect a lot from themselves and give so much of themselves and especially their hearts to others. This plant works on the nervous system to […]
