There are many natural ways to help your body heal with natural foods, herbs, spices, movement and meditation to name a few. A healthy lifestyle is created with small gradual shifts followed by minor course corrections over time. There are so many healthy practices that can be implemented while receiving conventional treatments prescribed by medical professionals. We have more power over our physical and mental health than we will ever realize. Always ask questions when it comes to treatments whether it’s natural, holistic or conventional. Tune into to your intuition to hear your body, ask your body what it needs from you and practice loving yourself they way you love your family, children and pets. You are worthless to them if you’re unwell so make your health a priority…it’s for you/for them!
