My Holistic Health Journey
Where it all started...
The day after I graduated high school, I married the love of my life! I was young and didn't know anything about being a 'homemaker.' I didn't know anything about reading the label of food before buying it. When one of us was sick, I had no idea what to take or use other than typical over-the-counter recommendations. A 'healthy lifestyle' just wasn't something I was trained in. My husband's asthma and IBS were awful, my thyroid was out of whack, and my mental health and physical health was struggling- I knew something just wasn't right. We were young! We should be feeling amazing! I needed to take charge and change something in our household, but I didn't have the push to do so until ...
We became pregnant a year into our marriage!
Once I knew I was with baby, the health push for me was MAJOR! I started reading every ingredient in every product that entered our house! I spent hours and hours researching holistic healing, nutritive eating and how to support the body. By the time baby arrived, almost every product in our house was 'nontoxic.' Our food was significantly cleaner. Our medicine cabinet slowly started getting replaced by natural remedies and clean products one by one. My husband's asthma was better and his IBS was healed. My health was improving as well. And I felt so empowered. I felt confident in each choice, because it was backed up with research and knowledge. And my husband and I were both feeling so much better!
And here I am now...6 years later!
While my entire healing journey isn't entirely over, I have come a significantly long way. I love my family, I love my life. I love that I'm able to treat and care for my family confidently when someone is injured or sick. I love how limited our doctors visits have become over the years. I see the benefits of my research and little home experiments and I am excited to share some of my creations with you. I'm not a doctor. I can't give medical advice. I can't diagnose, treat, or cure you. But I would love to guide you and encourage you to do your own research because it is empowering! And if some of my products here at Hanmade Herbals LLC can be a part of your holistic journey, I would love that too!
