I have to confess! I really didn’t want to drink the turmeric tea and be like one of what I considered, a health nut. So, I’ve decided I’m going to slowly step into a more natural lifestyle without stressing about if some aspect of the journey doesn’t stick.
So I think for me personally, I actually have stayed away from certain health superfoods and chemical free products because I didn’t want to be a part of a culture mainly. Now two years after the start of a pandemic, I’ve branched out and I guess in my own way become more of a naturalist then I ever thought I would be.
It’s been a slow process, and I’m by no means perfect, but there are just certain things I’ve done over the last two years to take control back of what comes into my home.
This all started with essential oils. I joined Young Living and a month later found myself recovering from a dislocated knee. I didn’t want to go on antidepressants again so I turned to my new oils and meditation. Thank goodness for these two!
Once back on my feet, I started purchasing Young Livings laundry soap, bar soaps and thieves cleaner so I could keep some more chemicals out of the house.
Then one day I got to thinking about all the extra preservatives in foods and how I could eliminate some. So I started making my own broth with my scraps of veggies and meats. And then I started washing, chopping and freezing fresh vegetables when they’re in season. As well a learning to make my own tortillas, biscuits, etc.
So now as I sit here writing to all of you folks, drinking my turmeric tea, I can seriously say I never thought I’d be able to say it… but I can. I will leave the recipe for the tea below. It is delicious.
