We're super excited this week to offer our first challenge as 
. We've been so thrilled with the use of this tag over the last few days, and have really got the sense that natural remedies and healings are important to so many of you.
We knew we'd run a competition this week to get word out about this community, and talking to you all really solidified the question we'd pose for this contest:
Here
Posts will be judged on
- quality of entry (length, photos, intrigue of personal story)
- any studies linked to the efficacy of this type of healing
- detail of post
- formatting and photographs
- following the rules below.
It can be a small change, or a big one. It can be an old story, or a new one. It might even be the impact a natural medicine has made to someone you know and love. This week already we've seen the effects CBD has on anxiety, how nature heals a wounded heart, and how chaga led to love and happiness. We're not particular about the type of natural healing, only that it's been a remedy in some way for your mind, body and spirit.
We'd love to know your stories - the personal, the moving and the profound.
We'd also love to know a little bit of the science behind your natural medicine - is there any research that supports it's benefits?
If you'd like a hand with any of this, please contact either 
We're offering the steem dollars earnt from this post, AND the reminder post next week, to the absolute winner!!
Should the prize pool reach a reasonable size, and depending on how this contest is received, we may divide the prize pool between 2 or more winners. We'd really, really love to help you guys as much as we can, so fingers crossed!
THAT MEANS TWO MORE RULES - because we want this to be as fruitful as possible.
We need you to UPVOTE this post
The bigger the reward pool, the more everyone benefits.
We need you to re-steem this post
The more people enter, the more we grow, and the more YOU grow through the mutual support of the community
We need you to use the natural medicine banner below
I mean, why wouldn't you? Ain't she just GORGEOUS?
We'd love you to provide a link to the discord and our introduction post (if you can) and a little blurb about what we're about!
Because we need to get the word out there so we all can grow together!
But wait - there's more!!!
We're also promising to upvote your posts, every day, for a whole week, following the contest (one post per day). How cool is that!!
We'll also re-steem your post, and announce you as the winner! Clearly, since your post will be so rocking, we'll resteem it in our personal accounts too.
There's been a few nice 'life changing' natural medicine stories that have emerged from the Steemforest this week, and you might like to use these as a starting point. Go check out the #naturalmedicine tag, and have fun!
