Holistic Approaches
-The Full Story-
THIS PAGE IS CURRENTLY UNDER CONSTRUCTION AND IS NOT COMPLETED BUT STILL HAS RESOURCES TO USE. COMPILING RESEARCH TAKES TIME.
This page is dedicated to providing a space for clients to self-learn about how the body responds to emotional, environmental stress, and how holistic practices can help heal stored trauma, disorders, and disease. I encourage all clients to use these resources whilst training.

About Me.
I would like to share what I have learned from developing Lupus and Endometriosis. Below you will see the different remedies I used to increase my immune systems functionality, lower flare ups, lower (digestive, joint, menstrual) pain, and increase fertility.

DISCLAIMER: I am not claiming to be a licensed holistic professional and the research below is for reading only and is not to be used without seeing a professional. Please do your own research.
Personal Remedies Used/ Research findings
Endometriosis
-Low FODMAP diet (For bloating and digestive problems associated with symptoms similar to IBS for those with endometriosis)
-Cut Gluten (Gluten creates holes in the lining of your stomach and after eating, the food seeps into your veins directly from your stomach lining causing water retention and puffiness, pain, and fatigue after eating) (Stay away from foods that say "May Contain Wheat" in the fine print)
-Keep feet warm using socks (Chinese medicinal practice to warm the uterus) (believed that endometriosis can be caused simply from having a cold uterus reducing blood flow to uterus and kidneys)
-Buy refrigerated probiotics in the form of pills or yogurt.
-Use herbs listed for fertility listed in the next box
Fertility
For recurrent miscarriages, endometriosis, general infertility, and autoimmune issues associated with miscarriage
-Increase warmth using socks (same as above)
-Use Chinese herbal tinctures made from herbs or herbs formulated into a tea.
GENERAL HERBS/ TEAS
-Nettle Tea (one cup first trimester, 2 cups 2nd, 3 cups a day in the 3rd trimester)
CHINESE MEDICINAL HERBS
-AI YE (Artemisia Argyl)
-Shu DI Huang (Rehmannia Glutinosa)
-Donkey Hide pills
AUTOIMMUNE DISEASE/ OVERACTIVE IMMUNE SYSTEM
-Meadowsweet (Aspirin replacement, it is the herbal equivalent of aspirin)
-Shu Di Huang (Rehmannia Root) (same as above)
​
DISCLAIMER: Ensure you are purchasing herbs that are safe for pregnancy and ensure you are taking the right amounts via a holistic professional or do your own research
Lupus
-Shu Di Huang (Lowers overactive immune system associated with joint pain, mouth sores, nose sores, rashes, and flare ups)
-Meadowsweet (Lowers overactive immune system "")
-Lower stress (Stress increases cortisol in the body creating autoimmune disorders in the first place)
-Parasite Cleanse
(I used Wormwood and Parasite Cleanse from Sprouts- grocery store)
-Meditation
-Working out consistently
-Test antibodies over the course of a year to see if your lupus is lowering using these practices

Hello! My name is Vanessa. After studying herbalism, ayurvedic medicine and toxin-free living on my own for years, I am finally in school to become a Certified Natural Health Professional to expand my knowledge on practical, natural living. While I do consider myself a bit self-taught (including using myself for experimentation sometimes), everything I create is backed by scientific studies to better support the mind, body & spirit connection in balance. After struggling for years and years with chronic pain, fatigue, emotional instability etc, there is nothing I want more than to help those who are struggling with the same things. That is why I create my products with intention; they are not heavily marked up like some companies, whose only goal is to make a profit off of the "natural" movement. This is simply ancient medicine revolutionized for modern life with nourishing ingredients, sustainable packaging and NO shortcuts. If you are interested in learning more, here are a couple of my favorite resources on natural living:
