How Often Do You Think About Your Bone Health

July 20, 2022

If you're over 50, bone health may well be on your mind.Under 50, one’s bones often aren’t on the radar until there’s a problem, such as a fracture or surgery. However, over the past 10 or so years, I’ve been seeing people diagnosed with osteopenia, osteoporosis and arthritis at younger ages than ever before.

The Key To Restful Sleep 💤

June 21, 2022

You know those really good sleeps? If you’re lucky, you’ve probably experienced it at least once in your life. With 8 hours of uninterrupted rest, you feel that easeful float-into-REM-cycle, and then a gentle arrival back to waking consciousness as the sun peeks through your window. You’re out of bed even before your alarm goes off, ready to tackle the day with a rainbows-and-unicorns attitude that your coworkers will probably hate you for.

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.

Love these guides!

These handy little guides are packed with super helpful and practical information. I love them all! It can be difficult to find seasonally relevant health information and as someone who tries to live in connection with natural seasonal rhythms, these guides are super helpful. Bravo! And Merci!

Nerve Balm works!

I'm a side sleeper. A few months ago, the upper arm of the side I slept on became painful during the night and occasionally during the day.

My massage therapist treated my arms, shoulders and neck. Massage offered some relief but didn't resolve the problem. Then she applied Nerve Balm. The improvement was immediate. Arms still felt much better that night and the next day.

I quickly ordered a jar. The first 2 weeks I used it before sleep and first thing in the morning. Then only at night. It even works on my ankle tendon which has been a problem for several years.

When the jar was half empty, I ordered 3 more.

I'm not a fan of the smell of cloves but I now appreciate their healing properties. I highly recommend Nerve Balm
