remedies

I received a "Women's Wellness" magazine the other day and saw this information in it. I was so excited because I don't have anything like this written up and this is what a lot of you probably could use as a guide for some of the things you question about in your body. You can spot some of the most common nutrient deficiencies - if you know what to look for. But don't wait. Left unchecked, some nutrient deficiencies can turn into big health problems, like fatigue, memory loss, osteoporosis, even heart disease! Is your body trying to tell you something?

bowl_herbs200 Most of you that have worked with me know that I am mainly a Mineral herbalist and not so much a Vitamin herbalist. This list gets you started to know that there are choices in dealing with ailments of the body.I work with herbs most of the time, and for each one of these ailments you can help your body with herbs, but you can also help your body help itself with vitamins and minerals as long as they are a good quality of supplement. Our bodies do use a lot of minerals on a daily basis, so you need to make sure you are getting enough for your body to be able to function in the capacity that you are demanding of it.
