What is Plant Spirit Medicine? Join speaker Diana Sproul as she describes plant spirit medicine as explained in Eliot Cowan's book of the same name. Plants, trees, rain, lightning and the Chinese elements (like water, metal, earth) are each represented by a consciousness. These may appear through meditation or dreaming in human, animal, insect or other form. Healing an imbalance or lack of a certain element in a person's spiritual make-up and life can help a person become well and whole again without addressing the illness itself. The book is highly recommended. The author says that is ordinary, and that all of us can learn to do what he does.

How to Recover After Taking Antibiotic Medication Antibiotics can be great when we are really sick. However, them do cause aftereffects because they kill off both good and bad bacteria all over the body. This effect can be shown the most in the digestive tract, because most (80%+) of our immunity is housed in the gut or stomach area. Knowing this, its important to stop potential long term digestive tract problems like bad bacteria flourishing both during after taking a course of antibiotics. These "baddies" could be Clostridia difficile (C. diff. for short), Candida albicans (yeast), or H. pylori. Prevent these from taking over after a course of antibiotics by feeding our gut flora and improving the micro biome in our digestive tract. Specific methods are given through dietary changes from a functional medicine and nutrition practitioner, Diana Sproul of Transform Health.
