6 Simple Ways to Kick-Start a Healthy Mind and Body

When we hear the word “health,” we typically think about physical health. But that’s only one aspect of our wellbeing. A more holistic view of health also includes a healthy mind. And a healthy lifestyle is built on the foundation of healthy habits that support both of those two aspects combined. So, what does that look like? Here we’ll go over six simple and realistic tips to kick-start a healthy mind and body.

  1. Start the Day with a “Mindful” Morning Routine

Having some time to yourself in the early morning before the day starts is crucial, in my opinion. Before the constant rush of things to do, people to see, and places to be begins, setting aside time to ease into the day with a mindful morning routine is key to a positive and productive day.

What You Need to Know About Herbalism

What is herbalism?

Herbal medicine, as the name suggests, relies on herbs to relieve symptoms. Herbalism (also herbal medicine or phytotherapy) is the study of botany and use of plants intended for medicinal purposes or for supplementing a diet.

Conventional medicine is the usual term used for modern Western medicine. It often relies on over the counter or prescription drugs in order to relieve symptoms.

Many conventional medical practitioners look down on herbalism as myth or “old wives’ tales,” but the truth is that herbs and botanicals are the source of more than 70% of the drugs used in conventional medicine, with even more on the way in the drug development pipeline.
