Personal Reflections

Before you throw them out, grow them out! If you have old seeds on hand, you can do an at-home germination test. Put 10-20 seeds on a moist paper towel in a loosely covered plastic container. Label the container with the date, variety, and number of seeds. Check the paper towel in 10-14 days and count how many seeds germinated. Divide the number of germinated seeds by the total number of seeds, then multiply by 100 to get your germination percentage.

This time: Twice, in rapid succession on the instep of my right foot. Gah!!!

However, it’s the first sting in the last 11 years …. and since that last zinger, I’ve acquired skills and tools that I use confidently to manage the rottenness of getting stung.

A quick application of Lavender, a layer of Purification, and a little detox Charcoal mask over the sting.

Pretty much almost immediate and complete relief (these stings can smart for a long time)

What’s in your toolkit for bites and stings?

I finally settled upon this one: I was diagnosed with endometriosis in about 1983…. Honestly, I was probably among the first to get that diagnosis (because it wasn’t “a thing” back then). I was 16 years old. My doctor put me on birth control pills to control the endo, and we (my parents and I) never questioned the safety of them, especially long term. I was on them for a VERY LONG time. If I had known then what I know now, I would have told my younger self to explore all other non-prescriptive options ( and there are holistic options out there ) but avoid birth control at all costs.

What would it be if you could tell your younger self to do something differently concerning your health?
