    I know you say to not do organic etc, but with your fibromyalgia and chronic fatigue, I would recommend at least avoiding seed oils. It causes inflammation which can cause those illnesses. Those diseases are awful. Something to consider. You have a beautiful garden so I don’t think you need to worry about organic. Here in the city it’s a bit different. But trying to save money, it is more expensive for sure. I buy organic if I can’t peel it. (Tomato’s, berries). I do love your channels. I have gifted your books to my kids and my parents. And I love it when you talk about the Lord. Not many these days speak with conviction like ya’ll do. It’s refreshing.

      My 2nd child once threw a tantrum over kale. He managed to pull himself together and ask nicely, so he got his kale. (Not how I would usually have handled that situation😉) He's a teen now, and I can safely say that one incident of "giving in" to a tantrum didn't spoil him. Plus, he still loves his vegetables. He ate a head of cabbage raw for an after school snack today. 😂

    Great tips as usual Tawra! Our weakness is buying the large packets of chips, but I always buy them at half price. We probably go through 2-3 packets of chips per week shared out as a family of adults. Since watching you I try to buy almost everything when it's advertised at half price or less. Of course, some things are never reduced to half price, but I still try to only buy when on sale & we're definitely saving a LOT of money doing this. 🥰Blessings from South Australia💕🐨

    Herbal teas are good investment as I healed from adrenal fatigue using the right kinds that contain adaptogens. It took me 2.5 months to heal. Never went to the doctor. Just do your research to see about interactions of each herb with any medications you take and determine the dosage or spacing of teas.

      @HeatherGreenjsyk 2 месяца назад

      @@citygal2198 I used a cold infusion blend that contained rooibos, hibiscus, chamomile, licorice root and orange blossom flavor that I'd have every other day. I'd switch it up with dandelion root tea at night (for managing my gastroparesis at the time) or some of the Celestial Seasonings apple cinnamon cider, but I stuck with the dandelion more as its the universal plant for many things (don't take if you're allergic to any in the daisy family).
      Overall, look into teas with any of the adaptogens such as licorice root, ashwagandha, holy basil, maca, ginseng, elderberry (or the elderflower), or reishi and cordycep mushrooms.
      Seven blossoms tea is a good choice for "system maintenance" each day or every other day since I healed from my fatigue.
      Also key for healing is rest, sunlight, and cod liver oil supplementation doesn't hurt. I especially love using lemon balm herbs in many foods as well. I also minimized caffeine and alcohol (only drank wine on occasion anyway).
      The time for healing will also depend on how long you've had the fatigue. I had mine for two months of burnout from a job that I couldn't handle anymore after nearly 2 years. Thankfully it was only a side job.
      Look up each and any herb's interaction with *any* medication you take as they operate just like typical medicine. I've been on an SSRI since age 9.
