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 can’t remember. It tastes… like fall. Maybe it’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 doctor’s first suggestion is to put me on my birth control, but that’s not an option since they’ve been more than they’re worth for me. I’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.

You’re welcome :blush: I can’t do most green tea unless I get it decaf. Maybe? :green_heart: I hope you get a liking for green tea :blush:

You’re right! There is absolutely so much to learn :herb: Thank you for providing the wealth of information that you did. It’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, that’s true! Here’s the calendula coming back to remind me that I have some steeping. :yellow_heart: Thank you!

Thanks for this – I’m gonna look into this energy healing. Maybe it’ll help me kick my allergies out the door! :clap: They’re constantly making me sick… ugh!

Oh how fun! I’ve added you :heart: My friend code is Q5WD5QL5FP

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, that’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 didn’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!
