🎀💗🌸October is breast cancer awareness month. I have lost a dear friend, just younger than myself, also with four beautiful children she left behind. It was a long, painful battle. 😭
I was having a lot of pain, weakness, fatigue, and swollen lymph these past few months. I didn't want to get a mammogram. There are better methods these days. If there is a tumor or cyst, a mammogram can actually pop it and spread it 😣 I found a company called HerScan and knew I needed to make an appointment.
They did find something on the left side, I don't know what it is yet, and I am praying and having faith its just a cyst. Losing my friend so young made me take this seriously. I'm sharing this so that YOU will not neglect yourself. Early detection is THE best way to best breast cancer!
I have not been feeling well for several weeks now, for whatever reason. I spend a lot of days in bed. Please pray I can get to the bottom of whatever is causing this AND please go take this month to get a scan. You are precious and worth the time and effort! 🎀

The Gatlinburg Gourd Fort grand tour and how I built it. Gourds are so rewarding to grow, definitely considering growing your own next year! 🍈
👉🏽Use them for art of all kinds, storage vessels, natural pest control (birdhouses), canteens, unique decor, utensils, musical instruments and more!

We all take ½ teaspoon of diatomaceous earth everyday. Cool to see where it comes from. I take it for GI health, it gently scrubs the walls of the GI, helping with better absorption of nutrients and prevents build up that can lead to cancers, polyps, irregularity... which all of that prevents the liver from being able to dump its toxins, which prevents the gall bladder from filtering its bile, that is recycled about 15 times before being renewed, which can lead to stones, digestive issues, weight gain (from bile not breaking down fats and cholesterol for proper use), which means the blood can't properly dump its toxins into the liver every 15 minutes, which leads to buildup of toxins in every cell of yoir body because they can't excret cellular waste into a saturated bloodstream..... bottom line.... take your Diatomaceous Earth!!!! 😆 🤣

Thank you to everyone who came out to the apothecary for today's class, "Creating Salves for Every Season" 🌿
We all had a great time and all the students got to get hands-on and create their own salves and take them home. We stuck with two Appalachian favorites, Bam Gilly Salve and Jewelweed.
There will be 1-2 classes a month and a few foraging outings as well this fall and winter. Stay up to date by following "Wild Harvest Life" on Facebook or on Instagram at "The Artist and The Herbalist"

✨️ Growing Beautiful Things ✨️

Gourds are used for making bowls, storage, fermenting vessels, utensils and all kind of ART 🎨 You can carve, paint, dye, weave, burn, embellish, and more on a gourd! It's a canvas for any medium. They make beautiful instruments and remind the us of their ancestral uses. I have a deep and inexplicable connection with gourds 💚
