#holistic health
I really just wanna get away. Close out the influences in the world. A quiet island, plenteous in Mother Nature’s nutrients. Quiet. No technology to make me dependant, no media to direct my thinking, no news, no stories of crime and violence. Simply, me, the Most High, and the voices of the wind. I want to be one with nature for a day. I want to be dependent on my spiritual strength for a day. I want to know what fruits heal, what vegetables cure, what herbs and grains can repair. I want to feel the earth beneath my feet and have strong soles to travel a million lands like our ancestors. I want to be free of processed foods, man made medicine, man made moisturizers and lather my skin in pure butters of the earth. I want to seek the earth for its wealth. I want to build with my hands and enjoy the kind of life Netflix cannot bring. I want to breathe fresh air. I want to live as a human should…sometimes…or at least for just one day. -Rena
DIY Kombucha: Magical Elixir
Today I was gifted a very healthy Kombucha SCOBY! I am very excited to be making my own Kombucha again because this magical elixir has endless health benefits!
My mama SCOBY (Symbiotic Colony Of Bacteria and Yeast) is a living organism and she maybe kinda slimy and squishy but she is full of:
-Probiotics - beneficial bacteria needed for nutrient digestion
-Malic Acid - helps with detoxing
-Nucleic Acid - Aids in cell regeneration
-Acetic Acid - Stabilizes blood sugars
-Amino Acid - Building blocks for of protein for muscle
-Lactic Acid - Essential for digestion
-Gluconic Acid - Fights yeast infections like flush and candida
-Analgesics - Which provide pain relief
All of these are infused in the fermented tea drink that you’re left with after feeding her lots of yummy sugars!
This elixir is a probiotic that helps restore the good bacteria in your body and is full of healthy vitamins while all those organic acids bind with toxins to help your digestive system more easily remove them from your liver and digestive tract enhancing your physical health with every sip!
The original owner of the SCOBY that made my SCOBY wrote an amazing and easy to fallow blog about how to start your own Kombucha production at home:
