God’s timing

Almost 30 years ago a seed was planted. That seed has been just waiting for bust forth. Now it seems to be the right timing. In my early marriage I worked at a plant nursery. This fit me well, outdoors, people, and physical. The love affair with herbs had not started yet. It was at the nursery that I came in contact with lemon thyme. The smell is intoxicating to me. Everyday throughout the day I would run my hands over a flat full of this herb and take in her goodness. I watched as people would see me doing this and they would take a snort full too. The calm, peaceful, pleasure of that little plant still gets to me today.

Also durning that time we had a son. He helped me to look at taking health into my own hands. I wanted to give him the best I had. Therefore I had a great deal of learning to do. When I realized that creation had so much to offer us for well being I was hooked.

Food as medicine has been my mantra for everyday and sicknesses. Don’t get me wrong I do like doctors and am thankful for medicine. We should know how our bodies work and how it is working. Doctors should be there to confirm what you already believe to the problem. Medicine is to be used short term. For most issues good food, rest, and exercise is exactly what most doctors used to subscribe. I do think they got tired of patients not following that advice. These new pills came along and seemed to do the trick so they slowly changed.

The good news is that is it is changing back. Just in the last 10 years I have seen a significant shift in the academia and medical fields. Even the fact that you are reading this is huge. When I started 30 ish years ago there were very few books on herbs much less the information that is out there today.

Come along the path with me as we create better health.
