Caring For Yourself Around Vaccination

February 01, 2021

It is understandable that some people feel trepidatious about their upcoming Covid-19 vaccines, even those who are very eager to get them. I’ve had countless requests for suggestions to support the body-mind during the vaccination process. This is by no means a comprehensive list, and I’m certainly not suggesting that everyone do everything on it! It is meant to offer ideas in categories—some may resonate more than others.

Vaccine Thoughts From Lily

February 01, 2021

I’ve been getting dozens of emails from concerned clients, asking about the new Covid-19 vaccines. Should they get one? Am I going to get it? Do I think it’s safe? Was the vaccine too rushed? Similar questions are flooding into Farmacopia, where we are hearing a lot of understandable confusion, hesitancy, and concern. I thought I would take this opportunity to send out a note to our wider audience who may be having similar questions, about how and why I’ve arrived at my answers.

April 11, 2019

Proud to be organizing these free, bilingual wellness workshops with Farmacopia and La Luz Center. Yesterday we gathered to make herbal medicine for sweet sleep from California Poppy, a gentle sedative plant which is in full bloom in many Sonoma County gardens and open spaces.

Yerba Santa STRONG!

October 02, 2018

Author: Jocelyn BoretaOne year after the devastating fires, we gathered with the Latinx community at La Luz Center in Sonoma to nourish our lungs and heal from grief. We circled up in the kitchen, to share evacuation testimonies still alive with trauma and to prepare a batch of fresh Yerba Santa syrup. ⠀

B complex

Love the b complex, couldn’t find it elsewhere easily

Yes, this dries up poison oak.

I tried it after the rash did not go away for 2 weeks. It rapidly retreated, and gone.

LOVE!

Tried the lavender moisture cream this morning and it went on so beautifully, easy and almost satin-like. My face feels so nourished, soft it feels so good. Best moisturizer I have applied in a very long time.

Astaxanthin

This is my first time trying this product, and because I am taking it for inflammatory joint pain, I have seen some definite alleviation of my discomfort since I started taking it over a week ago. I am also taking it with Tumeric and Resveratrol (all three formulas twice a day), so I am not sure weather my relief is totally due to the Astaxanthin or the combination of herbs. Still I will continue along this path, since it is very much helping my hips and lower back. I would recommend others give it a try and if needed add the two additional anti-inflammatory combinations. I find it a better alternative to NSAIDs and other meds that cause gastric issues.

NERVE BALM IS AWESOME!!

NERVE BALM IS THE BEST PRODUCT THAT I HAVE FOUND TO WORK ON MY NEUROPATHIC PAIN AND I AM GLAD MY CHIRPRACTOR INTRODUCED TO ME THIS PRODUCT. THANK YOU.
