We've seen some STELLAR posts over the last week - both from Natural Medicine members and people we haven't met before.
We try to upvote and curate what we can, supporting Steemfolk in all kinds of ways from auto vote trails to delegation of new members to upvoting and resteeming your posts.
Sometimes, we feel we need to go a little bit further - so each Wednesday, the Natural Medicine admin will have a little chat to see if they've spotted a post or a Steemian that might deserve a little boost, and if we have found a worthy one, we're going to reward it with SBI.
What Is SBI?
SBI, or Steem Basic Income, is a social experiment to bring a basic income to as many Steemians as possible. Members join by sponsoring others into the program. Steem Basic Income is delivered by providing regular upvotes to member content. This means that you receive a vote on your posts from SBI as long as you keep steeming!
How much SBI is on offer?
Depending on how cashed up we are, and how great your post is, we'll reward you with between 1 and 5 SBI. Sometimes, we might see fit to award 2 or more members with SBI - there's no real hard and fast rules here. It's completely arbitrary, depending on how generous we're feeling, how much cash we've raised through the week, and how much you make us go - WOW!
Do I have to be a member?
No! Of course, we'd love you to join our Discord and delegate to Natural Medicine, as this enables us to offer great initiatives like this one or our fortnightly challenges where you can win Steem. We work hard for you guys, so if you're able to, we'd appreciate the support. However, this initiative is for all Steemians.
Do I have to use the #naturalmedicine tag?
We celebrate #naturalmedicine posts in a weekly curation. It's much easier for us to find you if you use this tag. However, we get that some Steemfolk might not know about it or forget to use the tag, and we're not going to get grumpy over that (yet!). If we stumbled across a brilliant natural medicine related post, we're going to reward it. Simple!
Do you want to be a sponsor of this initiative?
We are looking for sponsors to help keep this initiative going - we're a small account that needs support. If you'd like to donate SBI or steem to this challenge, either for a week or longer, we'll acknowledge you in the title and image of any Hump Day posts and acknowledge you in the curation too. You'd be helping support natural healing content on the steem blockchain.
Hump Day Posts
When we find a post worth celebrating, we'll publish a Hump Day post on a Wednesday. Hump Day is that day in the middle of the week when you're finding the working week a little tough, and it's nice to have something to cheer you up. We'll publish in the evening in Australia, so in the Northern Hemisphere you might wake up to a lovely @naturalmedicine comment on your post!
Look out for this banner on YOUR post on Hump Day!
Hump Day Winner #9 @choogirl
@choogirl has written a six-part series detailing her personal journey with Ayahuasca, an often misunderstood herbal medicine used to treat both physical and psychological maladies. Not to be dabbled with lightly, the hallucinogenic effects can put the user on a rather profound and intense journey. She shares her experience with candor and in great detail which we all found quite fascinating.
Thank you so much @choogirl for sharing your journey and congratulations on winning 2 SBI! Look out for an upvote from them in the next few days, and the rest of your steemlife!

Yay, thank you so much for the recognition. I'm glad people have enjoyed this series. I've certainly enjoyed writing them.
Congratulations - well deserved! I've been reading through your posts one after the other and wow! Such an intense experience. It seems like such a deep dive and I'm not sure I could go back for more over and over again like that - I'd need long breaks between just to process and understand it all. Thanks so much for sharing this, I find it all very fascinating.
Oh thank you for the comment. I've actually got 2 more I haven't written up yet. One I started today but it won't be until tomorrow or Friday that I finish it.
I had a month between the first 4 and the second 4. For me it was long enough, but I understand that everyone is different. For me, journaling everything I can remember the next day is a good start to the integration process. But then writing them as blog posts helps me process what happened even more. The fact that other people like reading them is just a bonus really.
That is such a buzz to get this kind of recognition choogirl. You wrote very in depth posts about your experiences. You deserve this.
Thanks Angie.
