Ive have been studying healing for over 30 years, from different aspects of our being. My approach is health through nutrition, herbal medicines and movement. Im a Clinical Massage Therapist, Nutritional Herbologist, Herbal Family Practitioner and Martial Artist.
The idea of the One Stop Apothecary is to have one place to find information on all things herbal/wholistic health and wellness and a ton of things needed to create your own herbal medicines. Links to all the equipment required to successfully make your own healing recipes; from bowls to burners, labels to ladles. All found in one place, instead of looking through multiple sites just to find one simple item. This will take time though. So, the site is going to begin with blogs and social media posts covering various topics. Ive just added product links for things I like and things I've used.
I believe we are wonderfully created beings by God. That we are complex and wonderous in every aspect; Spiritual, Physical, Mental/Emotional. All these aspects must be addressed to truly be healthy.
We have thousands of years of herbal knowledge from our forefathers and foremothers from all over Gods creation to draw upon. These different views are special, sometimes sacred and all beautiful, meaningful and important as we all move, learn and grow forward together.
Ive been dealing with personal health issues for the last couple years using a combination of nutritional, herbal and allopathic approaches. I am proof that nutrition, herbal remedies, movement and modern medicine can be combined to keep a severe condition to a livable state. The unfortunate truth is that in my case and many others, the corrections proposed by allopathic doctors is unacceptable. Their proposed 'fix' is to just surgically remove parts of my digestive tract which I find incomprehensible. I have had to advocate for myself to get to a point to where allopathic management and my continued research are acceptable to my doctors. I continue to find ways to improve , support and ultimately heal my body.
Peace out, Truth and Love in Jesus name.
