Spring sprang and brought with it an urgent need to address the respiratory issues of our first born son, poison ivy issues of my mate and skin issues of my own. Our son has been experiencing severe and multiple bouts of asthma like symptoms. Our solution has been to eliminated the triggers which seem to be meat and all things white (sugar, potatoes, rice, flour, etc.), drinking plenty of water, eating plenty of raw fruits and veggies while giving him a liver detox. He has claimed that before he hits the double digits this fall he will cease having asthma like symptoms. I am so pleased to report that he is doing much better. Besides his color returning, gaining weight, and not using the nebulizer He can breathe! He can breath! and is walking out his healing truth that he will be free of breathing issues.
No sooner had our son begun his road to recovery Baba got outside to do his annual spring yard work and caught a wicked case of poison ivy/oak. Thank goodness we had a 2 pound bag of dried jewel weed which I used to make salve, ice cube and spray tinctures. Oh so happy to report that Baba is healing well and no other family member caught it!
I am also happy to report that after thinking I and the baby had caught poison ivy I was relieved to learn that we only had dermatitis which I attribute to the commercial detergent we had stopped using but began using again. So we are back on track and using our homemade laundry soap and I have also added homemade body wash too. The itchiness has subsided greatly and no new spots. So as spring comes to a close I can say as my family's healer "Together, We Made It, We Made It, We Made It!"
