Good Afternoon Lovelies☺

Today I would like to share with you information about Oil Macerats/Infused Oils☺
What Are Herbal Infused Oils?

Herbal infused oils are natural skincare preparations created by steeping medicinal plants in a nourishing carrier oil. Over time, the oil gently extracts fat-soluble compounds, antioxidants and essential oils from the herbs — transforming into a topical formula that supports skin and body wellness.

All of mine macerates are prepared using grape seed oil, which provides many advantages:
Lightweight texture — fast absorbing, non-greasy
Suitable for sensitive skin — gentle and hypoallergenic
Rich in antioxidants — including vitamin E and polyphenols
Supports elasticity — helps keep skin smooth and toned
Non-comedogenic — does not clog pores
Perfect for facial and body use

This makes grape seed oil an ideal carrier for daily herbal skincare.

Benefits of Infused Oils - Depending on the plant used, infused oils can help:
- soothe muscle and joint discomfort
- support relaxation and nerve balance
- calm irritated or inflamed skin
- aid tissue repair and regeneration
- improve circulation and body warmth
- offer aromatherapeutic comfort

Each oil delivers both herbal and cosmetic properties.

November is officialy on☺ and Mushroom season is finishing🍄

Tonight I would like to talk about beautiful , powerful and mistical Mushroom which is Amanita Muscaria🍄

Amanita muscaria (fly agaric) is one of the most iconic mushrooms in the world, recognized by its bright red cap with white spots. For thousands of years it has been part of spiritual practices, traditional medicine, and mythologies across the Northern Hemisphere.
The strongest ethnographic documentation comes from tribes such as the Evenki, Koryaks, and Chukchi:
- Used by shamans to enter trance states
- Believed to enable communication with the spirit world
- Consumed in rituals for healing, divination, and guidance
- A well-known practice involved drinking the urine of someone who consumed Amanita — metabolites excreted in urine contain more muscimol and fewer toxic compounds.

European Folk Medicine used it for -
- For nerve pain, muscle spasms
- Against parasites
- As a topical remedy for arthritis and rheumatic pain

Active Compounds and Pharmacology -
1.Muscimol - GABA_A agonist → calming, analgesic, muscle-relaxing, sleep-promoting - Main therapeutic compound
2.Ibotenic Acid - Neurostimulant → can be toxic in higher doses Converts to muscimol via heat/drying
3.Muscazone - Mild sedative
4.Polysaccharides - Anti-inflammatory, immune-supportive - Non-psychoactive

Therapeutic Effects (Reported & Studied)

✅ Analgesic – especially neuropathic and nerve-related pain
✅ Muscle relaxant – reduces spasms and guarding
✅ Sleep-promoting – deeper, restorative sleep
✅ Anxiolytic – decreases somatic anxiety (body-based tension)
✅ Anti-inflammatory effects on nervous system
✅ Potential neuroregeneration (emerging preclinical research)
✅ Grounding effect on the mind and emotions

Users often describe it as helping them “come back into their body” after prolonged stress or trauma.

Modern Uses -
- Chronic back pain / sciatica
- Fibromyalgia and myofascial pain
- Peripheral neuropathy (diabetic, chemotherapy, viral)
- Stress-induced insomnia
- PTSD-related hyperarousal

Amanita muscaria Extracts for Therapeutic Use -
1.Tincture (Alcohol Extract) -
What it is? - A liquid extract of Amanita muscaria in 40–70% alcohol - Designed for internal microdosing and external analgesic use.
Therapeutic Effects -
✔ Nerve pain relief
✔ Muscle relaxation
✔ Reduction of stress-induced tension
✔ Anxiolytic (calms somatic anxiety)
✔ Deeper, more restorative sleep

Sleep Quality is crucial for our Health☺
Not all of you realize that☺

The modern world is sleeping less and worse than ever before.
Shortened sleep is becoming one of the biggest health catastrophes of our times. Lack of sufficient rest increases the risk of cancer, heart disease, diabetes, mental health disorders and obesity. Research clearly shows that sleep is not a luxury — it is a basic life function that determines how long and how well we live.

For many years people tried to believe that the human body can “adapt” to sleeping less. It cannot. With every shortened night, the body accumulates biological debt that it is unable to repay. Sleep is the time when the brain performs the most advanced regeneration and detoxification processes; when immunity strengthens, hormones are balanced, and emotional stability is restored.

One of the greatest myths is that alcohol helps us sleep better. Although it may make falling asleep faster, it prevents natural deep sleep phases, causing restless and fragmented rest. That is why after drinking we wake up tired, irritated, and with a weakened immune response.

Insufficient sleep strongly disrupts metabolism. Hormones of hunger and satiety — ghrelin and leptin — cease to function properly. We feel constantly hungry, crave sweets and caloric foods, and the body stores more fat. This is one of the reasons why chronic lack of sleep increases the risk of obesity and type 2 diabetes.

Sleep also protects cognitive functions. During the night we consolidate memories and restore the ability to learn, focus and make decisions. A tired brain makes more mistakes, reacts more slowly and loses emotional control. Sleep deprivation is associated with higher rates of depression, anxiety and suicidal behaviours.

What’s more, long-term sleep restriction shortens life expectancy. It increases inflammatory processes, decreases cardiovascular health and weakens the body’s natural anti-cancer protection. Sleeping less than 7 hours regularly significantly raises the risk of serious diseases.

Sleep is a fundamental element of health care. Supporting good sleep is supporting immunity, hormonal balance, emotional well-being and brain vitality. Prioritizing rest is not laziness — it is a form of preventive medicine.

We can help to improve the quality of sleep and protect your long-term health by:
- Stick to a regular bedtime and wake-up time every day.
- Be physically active, but avoid late-evening workouts.
- Avoid coffee, tea, cola and ci******es in the late afternoon and evening.
- Do not drink alcohol before going to sleep — it disrupts deep sleep.
- Have a light supper — avoid heavy or late meals.
- Beware of medications that may disturb sleep — consult a doctor.
- Do not nap during the day, especially in the afternoon.
- Don’t use your bed for work or planning — the bed is for sleep only.
- A hot bath or shower before bed may help you fall asleep.
- Ensure your bedroom is dark, quiet, cool — avoid screens and blue light , avoid TV, smartphones, and laptops in the bedroom
keep your phone outside and use a regular alarm clock , minimize blue light for 60–90 minutes before sleep
- Get daylight in the morning and gradually dim lights in the evening.
- keep your room dark, cool, quiet, and well-ventilated , add indoor plants for a natural calming atmosphere
- Support your sleep with soothing herbs: chamomile, lemon balm, lavender, passionflower , blue lotus – helps calm the mind and reach deeper sleep phases , h**p/CBD – may reduce anxiety and tension
- Grounding (earthing) – walking barefoot or connecting with nature calms the nervous system.

Sleep is an investment in vitality, clarity of thought and healthy aging.
To be healthy — we must sleep.

As a Nature Lover I want to share reminder about connection between Us AND Nature and Importance Nature has for Us☺

The Healing Connection Between Plants, Heart & Mind❤

We often think of plants only as food or medicine, yet they are far more than that. Plants are living, intelligent beings that breathe, respond, and communicate — not in words, but through energy, vibration, and subtle electromagnetic fields.

Research shows that plants react to our emotions, touch, sound, and even intention. They sense harmony and chaos. When we are calm, centred, and coherent — when our heart and brain are aligned — plants respond differently. This state of inner balance, called heart-brain coherence, is the key to deep communication with nature.

When we enter this coherent state — slow, steady heartbeat, calm mind, gentle breath — we open ourselves to the vibrational field shared with the natural world. In this field, information flows both ways. Just as plants adjust to sunlight and seasons, they also resonate with our energy. They offer calm when we are anxious, strength when we are weak, and clarity when our thoughts are clouded.

This is true plant medicine — not only through chemistry but through connection.

Biological and Energetic Healing - On the physical level, certain herbs work as powerful allies against viral and bacterial infections Mullein, echinacea, garlic, astragalus, ginger, licorice, elderberry, and thyme have been used for centuries to support the immune system. They help the body to: stimulate interferon production,
reduce inflammation, clear respiratory pathways, and restore energy after illness.

But these plants also act on a subtle level: they restore balance, resilience, and grounding, helping us adapt to stress — the same way adaptogens like rhodiola or schisandra do. Their chemistry works hand-in-hand with their vibration. When taken with awareness — with gratitude and presence — their effect becomes deeper and more complete.

Coherence as Medicine - Modern science confirms what ancient healers already knew — our heart emits an electromagnetic field that can synchronize with the world around us. When we live in harmony with our inner rhythm and nature’s rhythm, our immunity strengthens, stress hormones drop, and our intuition awakens.

Every heartbeat sends a message to every cell of our body.
When that message carries peace, compassion, and gratitude — the body heals faster, the mind clears, and we feel connected again.
And in that moment of coherence, plants become our mirrors and partners in healing.

Listen to the language of nature.
Breathe with the trees.
Drink your herbs with awareness.
Let your heart and mind work as one — and let the green world remind you what real healing means.

Enjoy your Evening☺

Good Evening Lovelies☺

As women, when we reach menopause, we all go through this transition — for some it’s easier, for others more challenging. The symptoms and health issues can vary from person to person, but much depends on how well we take care of ourselves — our body, mind, and emotions☺

Many of us suffers from joints , bones , mobilty problems , so I thought this will be good subject for tonight☺

MENOPAUSE, ARTHROSIS & ARTHRITIS – HOW ARE THEY CONNECTED?
1. HORMONES AND JOINT HEALTH

During menopause, estrogen levels drop significantly. These hormones play a key protective role: they regulate calcium and collagen metabolism, support the production of synovial (joint) fluid, reduce inflammation in joint tissues.
When estrogen declines:
➡️ cartilage becomes thinner and less elastic,
➡️ synovial fluid production decreases,
➡️ inflammation and stiffness increase.

That’s why many women after the age of 45–50 begin to experience pain in their knees, hips, spine, hands, or fingers.

2. THE DIFFERENCE BETWEEN ARTHROSIS AND ARTHRITIS - Arthrosis (osteoarthritis) – a degenerative condition caused by wear and tear of cartilage and micro-injuries. It’s mainly mechanical in nature, though inflammation also plays a role.
Arthritis – an inflammatory joint disease, often autoimmune (like rheumatoid arthritis) or metabolic (like gout).
In women after menopause, these two conditions often overlap – lower hormone levels weaken tissue regeneration and increase inflammation.

3. DOES ESTROGEN PROTECT JOINTS? - Yes. Estrogen: stimulates collagen type II synthesis (the main building block of cartilage),
increases production of hyaluronic acid, improves microcirculation in the synovial membrane, acts as a natural anti-inflammatory agent.
When estrogen drops, connective tissues age faster – cartilage, ligaments, and skin lose their elasticity.
That’s why many post-menopausal women notice:
➡️ morning stiffness,
➡️ joint cracking sounds,
➡️ reduced flexibility,
➡️ lower-back or hip pain.

4. COMMON MISTAKES - Avoiding movement due to pain – joints need gentle motion to stay nourished. Diet too low in protein and collagen. Too many refined carbs and trans fats – they intensify inflammation. Dehydration – cartilage loses its cushion and elasticity. Deficiencies in vitamin D, K2, magnesium, zinc, and omega-3 fatty acids.

5. NATURAL SUPPORT (BASED ON PROF. FRYDRYCHOWSKI’S RECOMMENDATIONS & MENOPAUSE SCIENCE)
Rebuild the cartilage:
- Glucosamine + chondroitin sulfate – slow down cartilage degradation.
- Collagen type II (hydrolyzed, fish or bovine) + vitamin C – stimulate regeneration.
- MSM (methylsulfonylmethane) – reduces pain and inflammation.
- DMSO (dimethyl sulfoxide) – improves absorption and relieves pain when applied topically.

Hormonal balance:
- Phytoestrogens from soy, red clover, sage, and black cohosh (Cimicifuga racemosa).
- Omega-3s – help reduce hot flashes and inflammation.
- Vitamin E & D3 – regulate hormones and strengthen bones.

Anti-inflammatory diet: Use spices such as turmeric, ginger, cinnamon, black pepper, and nigella (black cumin). Eat plenty of vegetables and antioxidant-rich fruits – blueberries, broccoli, cabbage, parsley, garlic.

Hydration & movement: Drink at least 2 liters of water daily, adding a few grains of natural salt (e.g., rock or sea salt).
Maintain daily gentle activity – walking, yoga, swimming, dancing – to improve joint fluid circulation.

6. MENOPAUSE, ARTHROSIS & THE MIND - Chronic stress and poor sleep raise cortisol, which: increases inflammation, breaks down collagen, weakens bone mineralization.
Therefore, joint regeneration during menopause also requires:
- relaxation,
- regular rest,
- time in nature,
- emotional balance.

Menopause does not have to mean pain and stiffness.
By restoring hormonal balance, proper hydration, cartilage nourishment, and regular movement, it’s possible to slow down or even reverse degenerative joint changes and regain mobility and comfort.

Stay well and Free from pain☺

Good afternoon Lovelies☺

Today I would like share some information from Harmonia Magazine about Hemp☺ , this time as a immune support helper☺

H**P FOR HEALTH – AUTUMN IMMUNE SUPPORT

Autumn is the time when our immune system faces its biggest challenges. Changing weather, lower temperatures, and circulating viruses put our body’s defences to the test.
Instead of reacting only when illness appears, it’s worth taking care of your immune support every day.
Did you know that CBD supplementation can help your body stay balanced and strong through the colder months?

The Endocannabinoid System – Your Inner Balance
Our body’s endocannabinoid system (ECS) works together with the nervous and immune systems to maintain homeostasis — the natural internal balance that keeps us well.
When this system functions properly, it helps regulate energy, sleep, mood, inflammation, and immunity.

Phyto cannabinoids – The Key to Wellbeing
Compounds like CBD and CBDA found in h**p plants nourish this system and support immunity naturally.
CBD is known for its:
✨ anti-inflammatory
✨ antibacterial and antiviral
✨ neuroprotective
✨ pain-relieving
✨ relaxing and mood-stabilizing effects

Regular use of low doses of CBD strengthens the immune system, reduces the risk of infection, and helps the body recover faster when you do get sick.

Which CBD Product to Choose?
Go for full-spectrum extracts, closest to the plant’s natural composition. This ensures the synergy effect — all cannabinoids, terpenes, and flavonoids working together for stronger, balanced results.

How Long to Use It?
Consistency matters more than quantity.
Take small daily doses (around 1–5 mg CBD), ideally every 6 hours.
High doses aren’t necessary for healthy people — gentle, regular supplementation brings the best long-term benefits.

Supporting Children’s Immunity
Children can also benefit from small amounts of CBD (a few drops 3–4 times a day) — always using safe, certified products with no THC or additives.
Combine it with a sugar-free, nutrient-rich diet and outdoor activity for best immune protection.

Nature knows balance — let h**p help your body find it.

(Inspired by Dorota Gudaniec, phytotherapist and h**p therapy specialist, “Harmonia” Magazine)

Enjoy your Saturday☺

Good morning lovelies😊

Autumn 🍂 is on and first viral infections are on too , including sinus infection, which only me is getting that time of the year....

🌿 SINUS INFLAMMATION – CAUSES, SYMPTOMS & NATURAL SUPPORT 🌿

Blocked nose, headache when bending forward, pressure in the forehead or cheeks?
These may be signs of sinusitis (inflammation of the sinuses).
It often appears after a viral infection, cold, or allergy when the nasal mucosa swells and blocks the drainage of mucus from the sinuses.

🔍 Typical Symptoms:
• pressure or pain in the forehead, cheeks, or around the nose
• blocked nose and difficulty breathing
• thick yellow-green nasal discharge
• headache worsening when bending forward
• fatigue, weakness, sometimes mild fever

🌿 Natural Support:
💧 Inhalations with eucalyptus, peppermint, or pine essential oils help clear the airways.
🌸 Herbs such as thyme, chamomile, sage, mint, and oregano support sinus cleansing and have anti-inflammatory effects.
🍋 Hydration and vitamin C boost immunity and help thin mucus.
🔥 Warm compresses or steam inhalations ease pain and promote mucus drainage.
💚 Avoid dairy and sugar, which may increase

🌿 How to Prevent Sinus Inflammation (Sinusitis) 🌿

Here are some gentle and effective ways to help keep your sinuses healthy and reduce the risk of inflammation:

💧 Keep your nasal passages moist – use saline sprays or rinse your nose with salt water (neti pot or nasal irrigation). Dry air increases irritation.

🌬️ Avoid sudden temperature changes – going from warm indoor air to cold outdoor air can trigger congestion.

🌸 Support your immunity – eat a diet rich in vitamin C, zinc, and antioxidants (rosehip, citrus fruits, garlic, and echinacea).

🚿 Use humidifiers – especially in winter, to prevent the nasal mucosa from drying out.

🍃 Avoid irritants – cigarette smoke, pollution, strong perfumes, and household chemicals can worsen sinus inflammation.

🧘‍♀️ Manage allergies and stress – untreated allergies or chronic stress weaken the immune system and increase sinus issues.

💤 Get enough rest – good sleep supports recovery and prevents chronic sinus congestion.

But if you get one.. allow yourself to rest! Allow to be looked after and pampered ❤️

Have a good weekend 🙌🍂🙌
