Our minds and bodies both need a healthy lifestyle. Keeping a journal can enhance self-esteem, problem-solving, and gaining more control over our daily lives. Learn about the useful medicinal herb self-heal; take home plants and/or cuttings. Self-heal is a natural astringent, antiseptic, antiviral, and antibiotic. As a tea, it relieves colds, sore
throats, allergies, with no dangerous side-effects. Can also be used on cuts, wounds, hemorrhoids, and herpes.
Chinese medicine used it in Han Dynasty, 206 BC-AD 23. In the West it was used to heal inside and outside wounds, called Woundwort and Heal All.
Increase the usefulness of your journal with easy exercises. Journal writing heals our minds, disarms worry and conflict.
