I was nominated for a Fluxx award late last week for being a leader in Traditional Naturopathy. I have done the interview and completed the questionnaire on where I see Traditional Naturopathy going with the technological advancements as well as the partnerships and collaborations needed to improve mental health treatments for veterans to include the mind/body link. I had a cold thought when I was looking at this problem. There won’t be as long as pharmaceuticals are available and practitioners are not looking at individualized treatments such as the VA, but instead pushing quick fixes that cover up symptoms in a one size fits all manner. The only thing that I can do is to continue working around the VA system with veterans to achieve their optimal health.

This weekend I learned a personal lesson on what my body needs to stay hydrated. Remember a good rule of thumb is your weight divided by two is a great rule of thumb for how much water you need as a minimum!

Hi there, did you know that natural healing can be as thorough and comprehensive as modern medicine? While many people may associate natural healing with simple remedies or superficial treatments, it is actually a complex system of medicine that takes into account the whole person – body, mind, and spirit. Here are some examples of how natural healing can be as thorough and comprehensive as modern medicine:

Holistic approach – Natural healing approaches often take a holistic view of health, taking into account all aspects of a person’s life such as diet, exercise, stress management, relationships, and environmental factors that may impact their health.

Individualized care – Natural healing is based on individual needs and preferences, taking into consideration differences in age, gender, cultural background, lifestyle, and medical history.

Integrative medicine – Natural healing often incorporates evidence-based conventional medicine as well as other complementary therapies such as herbal medicine, acupuncture, homeopathy, and mind-body practices like yoga and meditation.

Long-term outcomes – Natural healing aims to promote long-term health and prevent chronic diseases through lifestyle changes, dietary modifications, stress reduction techniques, and other holistic interventions.
Natural healing is not just about simple remedies or superficial treatments but rather a comprehensive approach to health that takes into account the whole person and their unique needs and preferences. By incorporating evidence-based conventional medicine with complementary therapies, natural healing can provide as thorough and effective a treatment as modern medicine.

Hi there, did you know that using therapeutic grade essential oils can offer many benefits over non-therapeutic or cosmetic grade oils? Therapeutic grade essential oils are extracted from organically grown plants with the intention of maintaining their natural properties and therapeutic value. Here’s why using therapeutic grade essential oils is important:

Consistency – Therapeutic grade essential oils have consistent levels of active ingredients that are free from any adulterants or contaminants. This ensures that the oil provides the same benefits every time it’s used.
Quality Control – Therapeutic grade essential oils undergo strict quality control measures to ensure that they meet certain standards for purity, strength and composition.
Safety – Therapeutic grade essential oils are generally considered safe when used in accordance with recommended dosages and guidelines. Non-therapeutic or cosmetic grade oils may not have the same safety record.
Effectiveness – Therapeutic grade essential oils are effective because they retain their natural properties, making them an excellent choice for a variety of health conditions.

Using therapeutic grade essential oils helps you target your symptoms without unwanted problems.

Hi there, do you know what fractionation is and how it relates to the steam distillation process? Fractionation refers to the separation of different fractions or components of an essential oil. During steam distillation, various fractions can be collected depending on their boiling points. Here’s a brief explanation of some common fraction collections during steam distillation:
Terpene fraction – this is the main component of essential oils and contains compounds such as limonene in lemon oil or geraniol in rose oil.
Alcohol fraction – this contains high levels of alcohols, which have calming and soothing properties. For example, lavender oil has a significant amount of linalool, while tea tree oil contains terpineol.
Acid fraction – this is made up of acids that contribute to the flavor and odor of essential oils. Citrus oils such as lemon and orange have high levels of these compounds.
Sesquiterpene fraction – this group includes complex molecules that provide therapeutic effects in essential oils. For example, helichrysum oil has a high concentration of sesquiterpenes that are responsible for its anti-inflammatory properties.
By collecting these different fractions, distillers can create custom blends of essential oils with specific therapeutic benefits. However, the choice of which fraction to collect depends on the desired end product and the type of plant material being used during steam distillation.

Hey there, do you know what equipment is required to distill essential oils? Distillation involves the use of specialized equipment that can vary depending on the desired end product and the type of plant material being used. Here are some common pieces of equipment used in steam distillation:

Still pot – a container where the plant material is placed for heating and distillation.
Condenser – a coil of metal that condenses the steam and separates it from the essential oil droplets.
Fraction collector – a vessel used to collect different fractions of the essential oil as they exit the distillation process.

In addition to these pieces of equipment, there are also other accessories that can be added depending on the specific needs of the distiller. Overall, steam distillation requires specialized knowledge and experience to ensure optimal results in extracting high-quality essential oils from plant materials.

Today Pam and I are celebrating our 2nd Wedding Anniversary!  Happy Anniversary to my Pretty Lady! Here is to 38 more! Our goal is 40 years. Having said that lets get onto the topic of natural health.   This process of distillation extraction involves several steps to extract pure and concentrated oil from plant materials. This can be done at home if you want. Here are some commonly used herbs that can undergo this process: Lavender – known for its calming and soothing properties, lavender oil is extracted by steam distillation. Peppermint – with its refreshing and invigorating fragrance, peppermint oil is also obtained through steam distillation. Rosemary – valued for its memory-boosting and brain-toning properties, rosemary oil is extracted from the plant using steam distillation. Tea tree oil – with its antiseptic and anti-inflammatory properties, tea tree oil is produced by steam distillation of the leaves of the Melaleuca alternifolia plant. Lemon oil – known for its refreshing and energizing effects, lemon oil is extracted from the rinds of lemons using steam distillation. These are just a few examples, but there are many more herbs that can undergo this process to extract their healing properties in essential oils. If this process seems daunting and you want to purchase essential oils then look for therapeutic grade essential oils. If it doesn’t have therapeutic grade or you didn’t make it be wary of the product.

Hey guys, did you know that many essential oils are extracted using steam distillation? This method of extraction is often used for aromatic plants with high levels of volatile compounds, such as citrus fruits or herbs like lavender and chamomile. Steam distillation involves heating the plant material until its volatile compounds are released into a steam-filled chamber, which are then collected as an essential oil. The resulting oil is pure and has a higher level of concentration than other methods of extraction such as expression or solvent extraction.
