šŸ’š Weekly Witchy CHALLENGE - Natural Health & Healing

My best friend bought me some tea a year or two ago for my birthday. One of the boxes has reishi mushrooms, cinnamon, and some other ingredients I canā€™t remember. It tastesā€¦ like fall. Maybe itā€™s the cinnamon flavor. :laughing:

Another thing I forgot to mention is mushrooms can balance your hormones. For the last several months, my PMS was bothering me, as in I was having more mood swings between day fourteen to twenty-eight.

My doctorā€™s first suggestion is to put me on my birth control, but thatā€™s not an option since theyā€™ve been more than theyā€™re worth for me. Iā€™ve noticed that when I added more mushrooms to my diet in the last month and a half, my symptoms of PMS have subsided!

Mushrooms sounds like a nice suggestion. Going to have to look up some recipes I have some picky eaters. I could always add them to my Pizzas I only get on Fridays.

Youā€™re right! There is absolutely so much to learn :herb: Thank you for providing the wealth of information that you did. Itā€™s inspired me to look into some more natural methods of treating some of my illnesses rather than modern medicine. :potted_plant: There was a point in time when I worked for a natural food company in the vitamin and health & beauty section. I learned so much but have since forgot a lot of it. :heart: Thank you for sharing!

Ahh, thatā€™s true! Hereā€™s the calendula coming back to remind me that I have some steeping. :yellow_heart: Thank you!

Thanks for this ā€“ Iā€™m gonna look into this energy healing. Maybe itā€™ll help me kick my allergies out the door! :clap: Theyā€™re constantly making me sickā€¦ ugh!

I may see if I can use it as ground cover to keep weeds out! :four_leaf_clover: I for sure want to use it as a walkway in my garden rather than the rocks and weeds that grow rampant here lol

Oh wow, thatā€™s really amazing for a fungus! It seems like mushrooms have many uses that modern medicine (and people) are just now finding. :mushroom:

@Susurrus I have lemon balm growing fervently under my cherry tree! I think it has taken over my mint - poor thing. I have big bush of Rosemary growing next to my front porch - I didnā€™t know it could grow that big until I made a visit to Sodona, AZ and it is all over the place! I have to full it off to my sisters for their uses - LOL!
