What a beautiful morning representing the Minnesota Association of Naturopathic Physicians at the Walk for Gilda's event! 🌿

I had the chance to speak at Retreat to the Heart this weekend, hosted by - A Dash of Love. A healing retreat for mothers held on the beautiful Two Bees & A Bud, Flower Farm 🪻

We gathered near the flower beds and talked about natural approaches to stress management under the theme “Ease the Heart"

It was a meaningful space to share and connect, and I’m grateful to have been invited into this circle of women. 💚 -Dr. Haley

4th generation garlic from our garden! 🧄 The bulbs are a bit smaller this year (we got a little lazy with the weeding), but they are still potent and very fragrant.

In naturopathic medicine, we use garlic in both food and supplement form to support heart health, immune function, digestion, and as a gentle antimicrobial.

Crushing garlic before eating it is key, as this activates its key compounds for maximum benefit.

We'll save about half of these bulbs to replant in the ground this fall before it freezes.

If you struggle with seasonal allergies and fresh produce suddenly bothers you when symptoms flare-up, it might not be a true food allergy - it could be Oral Allergy Syndrome (OAS).

In this post, we’ll walk you through what an anti-inflammatory diet can look like for allergy sufferers and how certain foods might cross-react with pollen.

Save this if you have seasonal allergies and have ever reacted to peaches, plums, melons, or raw veggies!

Here's your sign to plant milkweed in your yard if you want to see monarchs! 🦋 

In herbal medicine, milkweed (Asclepias tuberosa, also called pleurisy root) was traditionally used in tiny doses to help clear chest congestion and support inflamed lungs during illness.

Because it’s so potent, this “low-dose herb” isn't used much anymore. And should only be used with caution and under the supervision of an experienced provider. It's a potent herbal medicine.
