My Herbal Kitchen

About three months ago, I gave up medicine. 
No more asprin or pain killers for my headaches. 
I decided to go the all natural route when it comes to my health. 

Since then, my kitchen has sprouted with herbs and medicinal plants.
Making a tincture of Thyme for skin problems.
My vegetable garden, now moved into their new home in the back yard.
I've also put together an herbal first aid kit.
Vitamins, rubs, and oils.
Homemade ointments.
And my favorite herbs in capsule form.
I have been headache free for a very long time.
Headaches were a thing I would deal with nearly every day.
Which meant, taking medicine, every day.
One day, I decided to quit. 
Just quit.

The first 2 weeks were awful.
Lots of rebound headaches...
But, after that, I've felt great. 
Plus, I personally believe my house smells pretty great. 
(Minus Valerian, that stuff smells like feet!)
