Thankfulness and Things I'd like to Know

It's Saturday morning and I'm writing to say that I'm a few days late getting on the thankful posts for the month of November so let me start by sharing 3 things that have blessed me.

First, I'm so grateful for the love of my Savior that was so great that He died on the cross, not only for an impersonal 'mankind' (which He did), but for me! Because He sees me and knows my every thought, feeling and deed, He did it for me!

Second, I'm thankful for my husband who works so hard to provide for us. He may not always be available when things are going on, or be good at showing his feelings but he loves each one of us very much.

Third, I'm thankful for my two beautiful, God fearing daughters who have blessed me from day one and continue to do so! I've shared so many memories with them...sometimes I look back with regret at the opportunities that have passed us by but then I look at all the things we've done together and I'm glad.

One a different note, I'd like to say that one thing that has always intrigued me is iridology. My first encounter with it was kinda unnerving because the gal who was talking about it thought that it was actually a window to a person's soul! Now, I'm not into that and I don't really believe it, but I do believe that iridology could certainly be a window to our health. We've lost touch with so many ancient ways of determining the state of our health and abandoned all those concerns to the health care industry. But don't get me started on that! The practice of modern medicine has a lot to offer but I can't help feeling like we need to maintain some personal responsibility for our health and care.

I'll tell you why I finally decided there was a practical side to iridology.
My cat, who was one of the most healthy animals I've ever owned, would occasionally get a dark spot in the iris of her eye. Shortly after that I noticed that she had worms. So I treated her and in about a week the dark spot was gone! Several months later, the process happened again with the same results and I realized I'd just witnessed the method of iridology at work!
Someday, I'd like to dig a little deeper into the information our body is telling us about our own health through the miraculous way God created our eyes to mirror what's going on inside.

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 & wild crafting, soapmaking, whole foods, repurposing and living a self sustaining life. Meant only to share information and personal experience but never as medical advice.

My mission is to encourage you to live closer to nature, share herbal ideas and information.

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.

We strive to do all we can to formulate safe recipes for you, but we assume no responsibility for any harm that may result from the use of our products. All of our recipes have been tried and tested by family and friends to produce positive results that I feel comfortable sharing with you and customers request over and over again.

However, it is YOUR responsibility to use them wisely and at your own discretion, discontinuing use AT ONCE should any negative reactions develop and seeking medical help if needed.

While we value your safety, you should know that allergic reaction, skin irritation or other negative responses are always a possibility, both with natural and commercial products. *

These recipes, while safe for use with children in most cases, should be kept out of reach of children and/or pets and always used with adult supervision.

Any medicinal references mentioned here are strictly for educational purposes based on my research through study, empirical evidence, personal use and herbal lore but not considered to be comprehensive or exhaustive. Any statements made here concerning various properties of herbs in relation to your health and well being, have not been evaluated by the FDA or any other governing body. And is NOT intended as medical advice of ANY kind.

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.

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.

Herbally yours,

*As a side note: sometimes water and/or soap applied to an area of irritation can increase discomfort. Often, a carrier oil or milk will ease the problem.
