Just a reminder - the Herbalstead Ohio Parasite & Candida Cleanse Kit will be released Monday, November 17th. It will be posted on this page and also the Cleanse Group.

🌱You MUST message me to order the kit ONCE YOU SEE THE POST!! You cannot just comment on the posts. 🌱

I make a large batch of this herbal cleanse in the fall and a large batch in the spring. Because it takes so much of my time, I do not carry this product on a regular basis. When the November batch is gone, it’s gone until the April batch. So be aware of this 🙂

More info upcoming, but here’s some food for thought….👇

Just about time to dig the elecampane roots!! The plants have made their seeds and now the leaves are dying back so that all the energy goes to the roots, which is the medicinal part. I will be digging about 30 plants this year to make sure I have enough tincture for all the coughs this winter!!!

Yesterday was a cooking day and that will continue today because I ran out of time yesterday before I had to pack up orders and get them to the post office.

I made Irish Potato and Cabbage Soup yesterday and I’ll put the recipe in the comments. We don’t use bacon so I substituted a Teton brand beef sausage (Paleo approved) from Costco. I also doubled this recipe bc I have 2 hungry boys at home!!

The rest of the cabbage went into making raw sauerkraut. You don’t need the fancy weights and airlock lids to make sauerkraut. I made it for years without those. If you want to watch a very amusing video on YouTube on how to make raw sauerkraut, I made one a few years ago. I obviously don’t do well in front of the camera 🙄 Enjoy!!

I'm posting this with a heavy heart. 😔

As much as I love gardening, composting, growing my own food, talking with friends and spending time in my garden every weekend, it has taken a toll and takes up way too much of my time!
I am struggling to keep up with the everyday basics such as cleaning and maintaining my home, so something has to give.
So I have decided to call it quits and will be selling all my equipment and miscellaneous materials.

Please don't ask any questions, as I would rather not talk about it. Below is a list of what's available. All prices are negotiable. Serious inquiries only.
Thanks for reading and understanding.

1. Dustpans and Broom
2. Sponges
3. Dusters
4. Mop and bucket
5. Window cleaner
6.Vacuum cleaner
7. Dishwashing liquid
8. Laundry detergent
9. Fabric softener
10. Laundry baskets
11. Toilet brushes
12. Cleaning sprays
13. Scrubbing brushes

The cleaning simply has to go!

Hope you had a good laugh! It’s Monday!

Dale and I are working on insulin resistance and belly fat right now. We are in “that age group”. A lot of it is insulin resistance and insulin resistance can be a huge factor for some people and a more minor factor for others.

Basically insulin resistance happens when your blood sugar is constantly spiking bc of your diet and the frequency of eating.

- Americans eat constantly. Our bodies were not made for that.

- It’s not just sugar that spikes blood sugar. Grain is sugar. Starch is sugar. Sugar is sugar. Fruit is sugar. Our bodies process all those things the same as sugar.

Our bodies send insulin into our bloodstream to counteract the sugar spike EVERY. SINGLE. TIME. After a while, after our sugar spikes call for insulin so much, our body gets worn out. It’s not as sensitive to the insulin that’s being released. It doesn’t do its job. Diabetes can ensue. Insulin resistance can ensue. Fat stores skyrocket.

You can retrain your body to be sensitive to insulin. Intermittent fasting helps. Eating properly (protein and veggies, no grain, no sugar, no processed foods).

Here is a good video to help you determine if you have insulin resistence. This doc has a LOT of good videos!!

Today was another clean up day outside. Hoses went into the barn, I planted a few perennials that hadn’t made it into the ground yet, and I also gathered some more seeds from medicinal herbs.

My procedure for gathering seeds is normally to let the flowers bloom and be pollinated and then when they start to close and dry up, I’ll bag some stalks with a mesh bag and put a label in the bag. I leave the bag on the stalk until the flowers are completely dry, as viability of the seeds is commonly dependent on the flowers drying completely on the plant. The bag is to catch them before nature carries them away!

These late seeds that I’m gathering are a little different. The stalks are already completely dry and in many cases as soon as you touch the dried flower heads, the seeds release. So I went around today snipping off dried flower heads and bagging them and put them in labeled bags. The 2nd pic shows you how I label my bags. Name of plant, year collected, where I got my original seeds/plant.

I hope this helps with your future seed-saving endeavors.

I’m 52 now - wow! Doesn’t seem possible! Anyhow, at 52 you can expect some weird things to happen with your cycle. I normally take Motherwort to help with those weirdnesses but I ran out in my personal bottle. And I didn’t refill. And now weirdness is happening.

So I refilled my bottle this morning and took a dose and thought I would give a shout out to all those gals who are in the same boat as me right now. Still having a cycle but the cycle is weird. Motherwort is great for that!

Motherwort got its name because it helps all the “mothery things” - hormones, heart related things, anxiety, etc. Like a big ol’ hug from your mom when you really really need it!

🌱 Anxiety and heart racing, especially right before menstruating (PMDD), irregular cycle and period cramps

🌱 General heart-hammering anxiety

🌱 Female hormone balance, especially during transition from perimenopause to menopause; aids in hot flashes mood swings and stress brought on by menopause

🌱 Heart tonic for your physical heart and also tonic for the emotional heart (think grief, sadness, depression, anxiety)

🌱 Supports uterus, kidneys and digestion (it’s a bitter - very bitter)

🌱 Helps calm palpitations if you have Graves’ Disease

She’s a good one for sure - do some reading on her! New batch of tincture that was harvested this summer is ready to go!! I took my dose and now back to work!! 🥰

I’m really sad that this season is over for the year. I’m trying to come to terms with it. Please say a prayer for me - the struggle and sadness are real 😭😭😭
