Lifestyle Medicine is the most important piece of healing ❤️🩹 for Body, Mind, & Spirit.
Herbs 🌿🌱 and herbal products are amazing support to nourish the body back to health.
Herbs are used both internally 👄 and externally.
Herbs support nourishing the body back to health, best, by being used in combination with lifestyle medicine.
For example: using SkinFlammation SOOTHE or Evergreen 🌲 Elixir ointments for psoriasis while at the same time eliminating foods that irritate the gut and immune system (Gluten is just one gut & immune irritating food. I speak of gluten from modern & non-organic wheat being inflammatory or heritage grain & organic wheats that are not sprouted and sour dough fermented to make into bread & bread type foods.)
Finding the root causes of the problem/symptoms and eliminating those causes better supports longterm health and vitality.
Using an ointment for psoriasis while continuing the habits that exacerbate inflammation, and the psoriasis being present as a symptom of lowered health, make it difficult for the herb to nourish the problem back to health.
It’s like trying to put out a fire 🔥 while someone continues to pour gasoline ⛽️ on the fire 🔥.
