GU✨Comment “WHOLE” for natural remedies that actually make sense✨
It’s kind of crazy how we’ve been trained to think healing only comes from a store shelf… and that anything from nature is somehow “alternative.” When did that change up happen?
Nature already did the work…and since it can’t be patented, they don’t want us to know about it. The same goes with the pet industry as well. For example, instead of flea, tick, and heart worm junk, I give me dogs garlic and other natural supplements.
These are a few of the simple, everyday practices I do that help me feel grounded, energized, and well.
Oil pulling is one I never skip. A tablespoon of coconut oil, swished around for 10–15 minutes, then spit into the trash. Sometimes I add a drop of peppermint essential oil for that fresh, clean feeling. It supports oral balance, helps keep the mouth healthy, and honestly changed how I think about toothpaste and mouthwash. Once you feel the difference, you won’t go back.
For skin, tallow balm has been my non-negotiable. Dry patches, irritation, constant breakouts…gone. I use my @arvoti tallow every single day and my skin has never looked or felt healthier. It’s deeply nourishing without all the lab-made fillers, preservatives, or hormone-disrupting junk.
When I need a gentle energy boost, I do a simple morning shot: 1 tablespoon olive oil, 2 tablespoons fresh lemon juice, and a pinch of cayenne. It wakes up digestion, supports circulation, and gives me steady energy without touching caffeine.
And on long days when my body really feels it, I make golden milk at night. I gently warm 1 cup of milk, then whisk in 1/2 teaspoon turmeric, a pinch of black pepper, 1/4 teaspoon cinnamon, and 1 teaspoon raw honey. It’s deeply comforting, helps the body unwind, supports sore joints and sleep.
Real food. Ancient wisdom. Simple practices that actually work….which is probably why they don’t teach us this in school 🤪
