To everything (turn, turn, turn) There is a season (turn, turn, turn) And a time to every purpose, under heaven Many of us absolutely love the change of seasons. A break from the hot, humid summer months with our windows shut and the AC blaring. We welcome the crisp fall air, cozy sweatshirts, opening our windows, and lighting a fire on the patio. All too often, the fall season is a brief transition, with much of our time focused on the upcoming holidays, and before you know

Here's some information that I got off of New Human's website. This SpectraVision is the scanning device I use in my practice. Many are unaware of what an electrodermal scan is and this info could shed some light. Do you remember watching Star Trek for the first time and being fascinated by the tricorder, that hand-held diagnostic tool that was used on crew members who got injured or infested with space critters from a strange new planet? With just a quick scan, the Enterpris

For our cars we do these maintenance tasks when the calendar says it's time, not when they malfunction. Why not use this same discipline with our body? What would happen to our car if we never changed the oil or cleaned the filter? What would happen to our bodies if we never cleansed the toxins we've put in and cleaned our "filters"? Our bodies are made up of organ systems that work together to complete tasks. Let's take a quick look at the organs that work to eliminate toxin

This Wednesday, July 18th I'll be at my first farmer's market! I'll be selling My Goodness! organic Kombucha ... made fresh, made locally, and using fruit that's in season. The herbs are grown in my backyard, the Kombucha brews in my kitchen, and the honey is MN grown. On occasion I sweeten the Kombucha with maple syrup and that's 100% pure organic maple syrup (that's the only ingredient listed on the bottle). Why does it matter if our food is fresh and local? Food ripens on

Curious about essential oils and what all the hype is about? Essential oils are oils that come out of the seeds, flowers, bark, rind, and leaves of plants that are extracted and distilled. This oil is the lifeblood of the plant and carries all the good stuff that the plant has to offer. In fact, up until about 150 years ago all medicine came from natural sources. Our first "medical book" dates back to 1500 BC www.localhistories.org/medicine.html and it followed Hippocrates' f

But is it soon enough for you? Are the winters long, gray, and taxing on your emotional health? Have you considered St. John's Wort? St John's wort is a pretty little shrub with cheery yellow flowers that have medicinal properties and is especially beneficial to those affected by the sun (or lack of!). It has become pretty common knowledge that St John's wort is a good, safe alternative to antidepressants but did you know that the form you take it in will have an effect on it

Although it is snowing, almost mid-April, in MN ... I am starting my spring Kombucha brew! I bought hibiscus tea, waited out the first ferment, added mango and am awaiting the springtime/summer concoction reminding me of papaya juice. Many of you may not know but I brew Kombucha on a regular basis and alternate the flavors with the season. Not only is brewing Kombucha a fun science experiment but it is a healthy alternative to many beverages with many health benefits. To get
