Herbs and Healing~ Something I've been studying and using for many years now is natural healing, and it is something i recommend to everyone. Natural healing is great for all common sickness , some skin conditions, healing wounds and even for beauty therapy too! A really common natural medicine is honey and lemon for coughs and colds but a more traditional version of that is actually honey and onions! In a jar , stuff in some sliced raw onion and then coat it in delicious honey. after a few hours of sitting in the honey the onions let out a juice. Grab yourself a second jar and a strainer and pour the mix into the new jar through the strainer and you'll be left with a cough syrup to store in your fridge. One very important thing to remember when medicating yourself is to always use in moderation. Just like over the counter or prescribed medication, natural remedies can have adverse side effects if used incorrectly.

Although i enjoy having my laptop to share my stories and my xbox to enjoy my games , nothing beats being in nature , raising animals and growing our own food. So me and my partner began our journey to a slower life last year and here is how its going so far and my beginner tips.
