Goshen Essentials

We have labels printed, formulas formulated, and information ready to print.  I am so excited to be able to make this available at an affordable price.  The one glitch I've had is the fact that I simply cannot offer this as a multi-level-marketing opportunity at this time.  From my research, that seems to be the main factor in the cost.  So, although we cannot offer this as a business opportunity, we will be able to offer some great incentive plans and coupons.

Compromise . . . Trust

I don't usually get too preachy in this section, but the reality is, most folks who claim to believe the Bible also claim to not believe in compromise or mixing holy with profane and yet when it comes to medicine, it is a completely different issue.  Why?

The Bible has plenty to say about our diet, health, and numerous promises about wellness.  So, what are we afraid of?  Do we really have faith in our Creator when we choose other methods of healing?  None of us can answer this question for another, but we can clearly see that the health care system that folks have become accustomed to, is crumbling and the one being forced upon our society, doesn't work.  Is this a wake-up call?

There are plenty of negative comments from virtually every direction, about the Affordable Care Act.  We can clearly see the people who designed and drew it up, don't believe in it, as they won't use it!  Many do not want the Health Care Reform and can't afford the premiums.  Since the ACA website isn't functioning properly and insurance policies have been cancelled, maybe it's time to just step on into the promises our Creator has been offering all along.

What if this is our invitation into something much better, or at least out of a corrupt system?  If you can't trust our leaders with money or amendments, why allow them control of our bodies and of our children?  None of us know what the "mark of the beast" will actually look like, but a lot of things happen to people against their will in hospitals, once the consent forms are signed.  We need to realize, a signed consent form, is the choice to receive whatever that facility deems to be necessary or appropriate.

If we cannot trust our Creator and His Word with our bodies, are we really sure we can trust Him with our souls?

Necessity Truly is the Mother of Invention

When my daughter was coming to visit last month, she called the day before and asked if I could "come up with something" for little Zoey, she's teething.  No pressure there . . . My great granddaughter's first visit and I certainly wanted her to be comfortable and have fun!   My heart just breaks for teething babies.  They don't have any sense of biting yet, so they don't know to put on the pressure.  They cry and they drool and they can't tell us about it.  Then once the crying starts, the nose runs, and they're just miserable.

So, right away, I got busy on the project.  It was only experimental, so I didn't make a large amount and I didn't come up with any way to preserve it.  Actually, I was simply in G-ma mode, without any thought to another product for the company.  That's something I'm learning though.  If something does help, aid in comfort or soothes, I should at least make it available.  Since there is expense in making natural products, I can't just give it away, but I do keep the costs low.

So, they finally arrived and little Miss Zoey and I rocked and talked, while her mama and g-ma brought in all their stuff.  My granddaughter, brought all the OTC supplies for teething, but was hoping to avoid medicating her baby.  When the baby did start to get fussy and putting her fists to her mouth, my granddaughter asked if I'd made anything.  I had, but other than tasting it myself, I had no idea if it would be effective, so I told her to try it and my daughter tried it and we all concurred that the baby could try it.

Within a couple of minutes the fussing stopped.  It was all natural, so the timing wasn't an issue and that sweet little girl didn't need any of the OTC supplies her mama had brought.  It was effective, but it needed a preservative to be safe.  The formula to include a preservative began immediately after the visit and we've even had an adult with a tooth ache get relief from this formula.  We'll be unveiling "tootheeZe" in the next catalogue from the Land of Goshen.  A wonderful product with a clove base.

Seasonal Aches and Pains

Many I speak with have "body issues" as the weather changes.  Health issues is a bit strong to use in the description, but for some of us the body does let us know the weather is changing.  This isn't about colds and flu, it's about old injury spots, arthritis, and some syndromes such as fibromyalgia.  I have MS, and to be honest, it does a little better in the cooler weather, but the old injuries I've sustained from the falls serve as unpleasant reminders in cooler weather.

I don't take any pharmaceuticals, including over the counter analgesics.  I know people who take pain relievers regularly, and not only are they potentially addictive, but there are so many side effects that can cause other problems.  As an herbalist, I can tell you even in using what our Creator provided, we need to remember, if something contains properties to address symptoms effectively, then it can also offer some adverse properties when used improperly.  I do have some herbal capsules on hand, a natural remedy cabinet, but I prefer topical oils and ointments.

When I broke my arm last year, YHWH gave me a wonderful formula to be applied topically for pain relief.  CHINICREEN is in big demand at Tribally Yours!  I also have formulated a balm for sore muscles.  So many people literally live in pain, and our society is so programmed to "pop a pill" for everything, that we may be making ourselves sicker than we know.  Keep in mind, even what we put on our skin is absorbed into the body, but it does bypass the stomach, where many pain relievers can cause serious side affects.

Our Creator knew what was coming before He ever created us, so He did create the remedies we would need.  Please, as the winter weather causes those old aches and pains, consider a natural remedy, a truly natural remedy.  If you are reading this, then you have access to Google.  Check ingredients before putting anything in or on your body!

If you choose to take the natural route, be sure to check the carrier oil in the contents as well.  Mineral oil is a petroleum product!
