Wow, it's Sunday again and what an eventful week it has been. There's been so many great informative articles shared using the #naturalmedicine tag and I'd like to highlight some of the best for you.
I hope to show the diversity you'll find, not only through browsing our community, but throughout Hive as a whole. When you hear Natural Medicine, the mental image it conjures is usually that of a plant. While plants are the easiest forms of natural medicine to find and are the most well known, there are so many other area's that are naturally medicinal as well.

He shows us how to build this simple sauna, which you can do right in your backyard. The most important thing I took from the article and the series of articles he's been sharing is the importance of community for the sharing of knowledge.

I've been into this matter for maybe two months and what I'm mostly obssessed with is the Geodesic Domes used as houses. The Domes are based on "sacred geometry" and it looks like the flower of life geometric figure used by the ancient civilizations. The domes and the permaculture apparently go hand by hand,

While you may be grossed out by the thought, it's a very interesting article and is written in both Spanish and English, so more can enjoy the cultural lesson
