Can I squeal? There's SO much going on with Natural Medicine at the moment it's really making me even more excited than usual. We have some pretty interesting things that will be revealed in good time, lots of new members, and Mindful Life starting to really blosssom. It's enough to make this little Hive account@riverflows head spin! That's why this fortnight we're keeping it a little more simple after last time's deep philosophical musings on life, death and health (congratulations to Hive account@owasco, who took out the huge 20 Steem prize!). We're gonna roll up our sleeves and get practical.

Steemfolk are AWESOME. They are a constant source of inspiration as they create content about amazing projects. So many people in Natural Medicine make their own in a desire to be keep it organic, safe, non-toxic and ethical - from tinctures to ferments to balms and salves. Hive account@nateonsteemit's been telling us about his oil infused brews in Discord this week, ready to make his own creme for when someone in his family injures themselves. He's got the glass jars all ready to go! So exciting.

Thus, our theme this week is HOME REMEDIES - practical solutions for common ailments from the flu to scraped knees to insomnia to cracked heels.

Some ideas

Document a process or a recipe for a new remedy you're experimenting with.
Investigate a remedy for what is bugging you, like an insect repellent (pun intended)
Talk about a childhood cure that your grandparents used to use on you - did it work? Was there any merit in it or was it a folk cure with no real medicinal backing?
Write about a home remedy you might use on animals or pets or children (sorry to group them all in one bullet point, he he)

We favour

posts with personal anecotes balanced with research or science if possible (this isn't always available, and there are many legitimate forms of knowledge)
posts with at least one original photo or image as the thumbnail image
well written, original posts
