  • Herbal Support for Immune Health

    Herbal Support for Immune Health
    Nov 3 2021
    This episode kicks off the month of November and our immunity talk. Coincidentally I am recording with a head cold, so apologies for the quality. Immune support is not just selecting immune modulating herbs. There are so many herbs with so many ways they can be incorporated depending on how they are prepared, there is always an herb for someone but herbs are not a 1 size fits all. This is why energetics knowledge and working with a trained herbalist is important for proper support. Remember, Herbalist work in tandem with doctors and other health care providers as part of your wellness team!Connect on IGPaula : @botanically_curiousPodcast Page: @Bandsandbotanicals--- This episode is sponsored by · Anchor: The easiest way to make a podcast. https://anchor.fm/app--- Send in a voice message: https://anchor.fm/bandsandbotanicals/messageSupport this podcast: https://anchor.fm/bandsandbotanicals/support

  • Transformation - Wellness through trauma

    Transformation - Wellness through trauma
    Sep 22 2021
    Highlights from the show!Paula is moving to Maine in October! Danielle is still our resident trainer and will be a spotlight on the show every month! We are focused on emotional pain and trauma this week because everything in the body is connected. We mention Somatic therapy, ways to scan the body and have a brief conversation with yourself about what the body is doing, how you are feeling and why.Tension and discomfort in the muscle causes pain if left untreated. For long term wellness we should be looking at all the pain or trauma we have experienced in a safe space, potentially with a trained professional to properly work through that pain and trauma for a healthier life long term. Trauma is held in the body and no one person experiences trauma the same but there are resources available: https://www.traumainformedcare.chcs.org/ ACE's Adverse Childhood Experiences: https://americanspcc.org/take-the-aces-quiz/ Connect with us on IG ! @bandsandbotanicals Fitness and movement questions @daniellemcreaseHerbal questions @botanically_curious--- This episode is sponsored by · Anchor: The easiest way to make a podcast. https://anchor.fm/app--- Send in a voice message: https://anchor.fm/bandsandbotanicals/messageSupport this podcast: https://anchor.fm/bandsandbotanicals/support
