As I try to learn how to do this blog thing, I wonder if I am even interesting enough to do this.   Vulnerability is always interestingly uncomfortable.

I was married to an alcoholic for 13 years.  During that time, as the disease grew, I worried about paying the bills.  One day I bought a used deep freeze and that began to  change my life.  I began to learn ways of buying food cheap and how to store it.  My mind began to remember my survival roots and how to live off the land.  I began to ponder self sustainability as I never had before.

I had a plot of 2.5 acres in the country.  Multiple topics of sustainability had become common conversation after the housing market crash of, I think, 2009.  People were struggling to survive and talk about living more simply abounded.  Struggling in my own way,  I began to study more and more about making things on my own cheaply.

After the marriage was over, I came down with eczema to my lower right leg.  After several rounds of the strongest prescription cortisone creams, my leg had not healed.  I would wake in the middle of the night scratching my self to the point of bleeding.  Working in the healthcare environment, I began to worry that I would catch a terrible microbe.  After all, I had seen patients lose limbs and life due to antibiotic resistant organisms.

A friend of mine showed me a line of high quality essential oils.  I had used all of the Lavender in my kit.   In desperation, I decided to open the frankincense.  I knew it had some antibacterial properties and nothing more.  To my amazement the redness faded and so did the discomfort.  It was only temporary, but it darn sure got my attention.  I knew I needed more ingredients instantly.  I went to the web and looked up everything I could find on healing eczema with essential oils.

In two weeks, my eczema was gone!  I was healed with nothing prescription!!!   I began to question everything I used and the money it cost.  I healed myself with $120.00 of stuff I had access to at any time.   I was done with better living thru science.  I decided the ancient methods had survived to our life time for a far better reason than I conceived.

I have started this site to share the incredible knowledge that is available on the internet.  I am a registered nurse of 16 years.  I value western medicine.  However, as the holistic side of medicine is becoming more accepted by the public, I wanna put my two cents out there.   I want to be a part of the movement that educates and learns how to get care straight from our mother.  My hope is that this movement will encourage more green home spun industries to love ourselves and earth.
