Unleash Your VitalityYour Guide To Natural Health, Personal Fitness & Lifestyle Freedom

I felt right at home the second I walked through the door. On one side was a cozy, dim-light cafe and on the other was a loose-leaf herbal shop full of containers with the freshest, most natural herbs around. The shop is called Passiflora in New Hartford, CT and it was the scene of Wednesday’s lunch :)

I couldn’t help but feel reconnected to my passion for  natural health and lifestyle. Here were hundreds of different herbs, each one with its own unique effect on our minds and bodies – and each combination its own as well. When I see people immediately go to the drug store or opt-in for prescription or over-the-counter medications for things like stress, anxiety, sadness, or even the common cold or flu, I have to wonder if they even know about nature’s prescriptions at all. There are thousands and thousands of herbs out there that can give us so many of the results and benefits we’re looking for through chemical creation today. If you’ve been caught up in the system at an unreasonable level, let this serve as a wake up call!

Many people forget that you CAN take herbs for things like sadness and depression. There are certain herbal teas that have been known for ages to boost your mood and happiness – without any of the side effects that can otherwise ruin your life while you stay happily afloat with medications. This can be life changing for someone caught in this vicious cycle, and without the drastic change in personality that so often comes with prescriptions today. But the benefits don’t stop there.

What about daily stress levels? We all know there are millions of people who smoke cannabis regularly for stress relief and/or a significant mood boost. If you’re caught in a discussion with someone proclaiming that natural herbs just aren’t effective and it’s all cultural myths, realize this fact – people are using them in dramatic ways every day…and they are working. However, you don’t have to become illegal just to get your hands on some effective herbs. There are scores of natural remedies for stress and anxiety relief that not only relax your body physically, but help to calm, clear and still your mind. With the pace of much of the world today, that’s becoming all too essential.

One popular tea you can easily find at your local health food store – or even possibly the supermarket – is peppermint tea. Get a high-quality, organic peppermint tea to really feel the effects. Peppermint is an incredibly soothing herb that not only tastes great and leaves you with fresh breath afterwards, but actually relaxes you while leaving you clear-headed. It’s the perfect evening wind-down – and not only is it all-natural, it’ll hardly cost you a thing! Try that compared to prescription medication :)

I’d love to continue both researching and personally experimenting with various herbal remedies (I have peppermint tea all the time, among many others I’m currently trying out). If you’re interested in what I’ve shared above – or other herbal uses you’d love to hear about – please leave me a comment below. Is there anything specific you’d like to know that I could address in a future blog post? Let me know!

Get out there and pick up your own natural herbal remedies today – whether it’s peppermint tea or anything else. Jump into the fascinating world of natural cures and nature’s original prescriptions :)
