Believe it or not, as a kid I found being sick comforting. Mostly (actually solely) because of the way my herbalist mother took care of us when we were sick.  She was nurturing in nature, but when we were sick, she went on full-mode nurturing. She would whip up herbal blends, feed us soups, make us soothing teas with ginger, and keep us extra close to her. It was really comforting. A lot of what she did for us, I do for my own kids. But, as an adult and a busy parent, being sick is not quite the same. I want to get better as soon as I possibly can so that I can. I'm the nurturer to myself when I'm sick, and while I reduce my daily roles, I still have little ones that need care through my sickness. So, I rely on my mother's remedies, which are ancestral healing ways. And I've been doing so my entire life. Recently I asked on my Instagram, what herbal ways my community wanted to learn more of and some of the responses included natural remedies. So, in this episode, I go over what I use when I'm sick to support my body in healing and reduce the illness so that I can get back to feeling great and doing life. Support the show
