What a journey for you, @artemislives! I can only imagine the trauma you must have endured as a young kid. My sister had eczema too, and so does my nephew, but not to this extent, and they've always been very attentive to diet as we've always been raised around natural medicines and naturopaths I guess. It must have been so painful and oh my god - that awful girl with the compass! Kids can be so cruel. It strikes me that there's been some very good natural practitioners in our lives that have intervened and made a difference to us, when western creams and pills lathered on top of the problem just didn't work, or made things worse. I love how this has shaped your move into natural skin medicines, and I'm so keen to try your products one day, especially now I know the history behind them!
I think even the over-prescribing western Drs pedaling their poisons are doing the best they know how to do from kind and sincere hearts, and what we experience is simply the differing levels of consciousness clashing like tectonic plates. It is all part of The Shift and something we each embody. Diet matters, but there are wonderful studies which also contradict that. Ageless Body Timeless Mind comes to mind. :) Yes, this is partly what has shaped my natural product journey. Grateful! :)
Absolutely, and I think things are shifting too. When you are I were younger, things were a little different, I'm convinced, but I'm sure there's many doctors out there who are also really taking account of natural medicines and considering them rather than discounting them. However, I've had mainly bad experiences with GP's when I needed them for particular things, though they've been great in other ways too! Ah, we all have so much to learn from one another, as long as we are listening.
Indeed. With open hearts as well as open ears. :)
