The Mental Shift That Unlocks All Natural Wellness
Why are you still paying to be sick, tired, and stressed out? Spending endless sums of money on medical care that hasn’t healed or helped, you’re left with more questions than answers, without any gains in your health. Before taking control of my own health, I used to believe I needed to be an obedient patient and take on enormous medical debt that left me still suffering or feeling even worse.
But it didn’t add up: for all the money, time, and aggravation, I was no better for it. I still struggled with hormones, period pain, arthritis, and serious gut issues. Still, as much as I committed myself to the prescriptions and over-the-counter medicines, I knew, in the back of my mind, that something was wrong with the treatments I received. I became restless and skeptical with each checkup and trip to the pharmacy. Eventually, I found myself discovering all kinds of natural health books and information. This was the 1990s, and there were plenty of major and independent bookshops to explore all kinds of gems. And, in my house, tucked away in the basement, was my mother’s worn copy of Back to Eden by Jethro Kloss. His book and countless others, are part of a long tradition of natural health in North America that traces a winding path back to indigenous and ancient healing practices across a diverse cultural landscape.
What was exciting was the realization that a deep well of knowledge and expertise existed out there that led to real healing for many people. And all it took was that initial spark of curiosity to get started. Of course nowadays, natural health is more mainstream though it is still on the fringes of common approaches to health and well-being.
My herbal clients regularly ask how to learn more, how to do more, how to be even more grounded in their own individual paths toward wellness. I am excited for them and excited to share with you that it all comes down to mindset. It starts and ends with mindset, because if you choose to seek natural health solutions you will find them. And when you commit to them, you have the secret formula for natural health success.
In today’s age of convenience and instant gratification, too many people have fallen for the illusion of packaged health: in pills, powders, and branded products. Health isn’t something that’s pick up off a store shelf or ordered from an online shop. The blessing of health is often found in our own hands but so many of us have lost the resolve to shake up our mindsets and do something ourselves, whether that be making our medicine, making a healing recipe, and changing our lifestyles.
But, if you’re sick and tired of being sick and tired, or of getting the run around, isn’t it time you finally take charge of your health? That doesn’t mean taking Google and the internet as your natural health guru. But it does mean setting your sights on the natural health world. In it, you’ll find the common principles of wellness: diet, elimination, exercise, rest, social and spiritual health.
There are countless natural health practitioners trained in the healing arts with varying areas of expertise, level of training, and depths of clinical practice. Even among herbalists, you can find a broad mix: some focus more on products; some on teaching; some on clinical practice, etc. Herbal wisdom is life-changing and money-saving. The best of these healers will work with you carefully and closely to help you be successful so that you learn enough to stand strong on your own.
Start your own journey today, and get the help you need to bring your health into balance.
