Environmental hazards and health concerns surrounding marcellus gas wells

Day 18

A few days ago I shared some concerns that face many families in PA and other areas surrounding the growing Marcellus gas well drilling that is becoming more and more prevalent through out the state.

Here's some links my friend sent to me that share info on the industry and it's impact on our water, air and soil; and the negative ways in which that affects our health.

Please think about keeping informed about natural gas drilling issues
through any or all of these listed websites

Thanks for visiting The Journal! I love hearing from you!

What The Woodwife's Journal is all about.

This is a journal about my quest for herbal healing, herbal crafting, soapmaking, whole foods, repurposing and living a self sustaining life.

The mission of The Woodwife's Herb Shop & Soapworks, LLC is to teach you how to live closer to nature, to share herbal ideas and information. It is my desire to share with you what I've learned, and practice in my own home, on the road toward a cleaner, toxin-free lifestyle and appreciation of the gifts we've been given. In His wisdom, God has blessed us with plants that provide a synergy of therapeutic benefits which work together to provide healing and protection to our bodies.

Herbs (including the concentrated essential oils created from them) can be helpful allies in creating and maintaining good health but they can also be powerful medications that should be treated with respect. Used improperly, they can cause adverse reactions or interfere with pharmaceuticals.

Hopefully anything you read here will encourage you to do your own research and speak with your health care professional to determine the situation before attempting to treat yourself or anyone else by alternative health practices and remedies.
