Uproot Health

Where I've been the last few years....

That's a long story. But we are back in Idaho and loving life!

For those who don't follow my personal FB page, I am now in the process of becoming an independent certified OPTAVIA coach!

This program about building habits of health has been very congruent with my ideals of holistic health and achieving optimal health. Being able to balance my blood sugars has been huge for my energy levels! My husband and I have been blessed with greater health including weight loss, more energy, better sleep, better mental health just to name a few.

I still have a full time job I am wrangling, but when I am able to free up some of that time in the future will be offering FREE classes on herbal health both in person and virtual. I look forward to it, but until then, I will be sharing some of my herbal adventures with you on this page.

What herbal blends have you been enjoying lately?

It's been WAYYYYY too long my friends!!

I want to start bringing back my Uproot Health page!

Herbs are such an important part of my life and I want to keep sharing the beauty of herbal medicine with all of you.

Be on the lookout for some posts, and I hope to offer some classes in the future both in person and virtual! 🎉

This is a great year to add fire cider to your cold and flu season preparation. I like to use Rosemary Gladstar's basic recipe. This year I added some fresh turmeric to my batch. We can't do enough to fend off everything that attempts to compromise our immune system!

That, my friends, is one pound of dried wildcrafted elderberries! I was so disappointed last winter because it seemed almost impossible to find elderberries in stock online or in my favorite herb store. I can't tell you the joy it was going to harvest these elderberries over the weekend! This should get us through a few years.

Uproot Health is coming back to Meridian! Yay! Wishing you all health during this time. Don't forget to take your herbs ❤️

This is a game changer for body odor! This is the only deodorant I've ever used that actually works! Actually, I tried Lume and it worked at first but after about a month it stopped working. I looked at other expensive natural deodorants online and I remembered one of my herb students telling me about using a crystal deodorant. I found it at Sprouts for only $6, and two months later it still works great! You have to get the crystal wet and rub it all over the areas that would get sweaty. They also have scented sprays if you want something with a fragrance.

Sometimes it takes getting sick to remind you to keep up with your remedies. After trying to sufficiently detox, I found some energy to make my beloved garlic oxymel. I’ve touted this before as it is one of the best ways to gain the benefits of garlic. I also put together a batch of fire cider. Now we have to wait 2 weeks for the oxymel and 4 weeks for the Fire Cider, but so grateful to have these powerful remedies in our medicine cabinet.
