What Herbalism Does for You
Not only has spiritual wellness helped me get to where I am today, but I also have implemented herbalism into my everyday routine so I have a better understanding of how my body operates & responds to everything. You can learn more about the most powerful wellness tips that changed my life here. Herbalism is much like the coaching I perform in the sense of understanding who the individual is, what their needs are, & how to get them to where they need to be with their unique & specific lifestyle. Ramona made me feel so welcome & she truly understood what I needed after I told her my symptoms & what I think needs to change. Like wellness coaching, herbalism goes in sessions & it demands flexibility from both the client & the herbalist.
My biggest concern going into my first session was my skin & how it affected my mood & confidence. I wanted to have clear, radiant skin that amplifies my inner beauty. I want to be confident in my own skin. I relayed that to Ramona & she informed me that almost everything that shows up on the physical capsule has to do with what is going on inside the physical body. She stated that my digestive system & supporting organs need to be functioning properly in order for me to start seeing results & feeling my best.
Using traditional Chinese herbalism, ayurvedic herbalism, & Western herbalism, she curated a formula that focused on my digestive & organ health that in return will improve my skin. She suggested some specific teas that will help as well. Her goal is not to drown you in pills & supplements, it’s to understand where most of the symptoms are coming from in the body & nurture that area. Usually, monthly sessions are recommended since Ramona wants to keep track of the progress & see if anything else needs to be improved as the sessions go along. Once you’re on track, you don’t have to meet that often, but it’s good to have an understanding of what your body likes & dislikes, supplement-wise.
How Herbalism Helped Me
I started to notice a significant difference in my digestive system within the first two weeks. Some of the improvements I started to see were unnoticeable symptoms when I had my first session with Ramona meaning I didn’t even fully realize how much my digestive system was affecting my entire body, inside & out. I stayed consistent with the supplements & tea she recommended for me & began to look & feel better. I am now able to pinpoint my concerns & why they may be happening. Once I pinpoint them, I can then determine what I would like to add or remove from my current routine to help me feel better. For example, if I feel that time of the month coming on, I create a formula with teas & different herbs to help soothe that area even more.
It has been over 12 months since I started to receive care from Ramona & I feel so much better about myself & my body. I understand that my skin will never be perfect, but I can regulate it & be confident in my own skin. As of now, I take three supplements a day along with drinking tea as often as possible. The amazing thing about herbalism is there is a cure for everything! Our earth provides us with medicine through plants & we are able to take advantage of that! For example, I told Ramona I wanted to focus on growing my hair & nails strong & healthy & she suggested a few different herbs for a loose tea & also sesame oil. Not only does sesame oil help strengthen the hair follicle, but it also helps soothe the brain & muscles. The smallest insight like that really excites me about how well I am able to take care of myself with herbalism.
