Breastfeeding was great, now How do I stop!

Stoping breastfeeding is not as easy as it sounds it can became a real pain, I want to share what I found is good to stop nursing less painfull

Your body will stop producing milk gradually after a few days of not nursing your child,
the first week your breast can get very swollen and painfull so here is some tips that will help you go trought the process with less suffering, and know that there is a pild that your phisician can give you to stop the producction but if you don't want to take halopatic medicine here is some natural sugestions... Also you can take ibuprofen, alive, to reduce pain and swalling.

Sage Tea
Cabage leaves (place them inside bra against breast)
Showers showers showers allows the milk to get out giving relief with out the sucction that can start production again. If your breast is too swollen express some milk out not to much but just with a little bit of pressure with your hand or just by taking a warm shower.
Wear a tight bra that embraces the breast tight and confortable sometimes is good to use it even at night just during the first to third day of stop nursing.
Don't stop drinking water.

It was kind of hard to find in the internet some info about this is not so commun, but maybe someone out there can use this info :)

When using Garlic precautions.

When using garlic, mashed fresh as topical antibiotic, the dosis must be limited to once a day leave it on nail or skin if is for fungi, and then rinse after four hours, apply just once a day, and after tree days, stop one day then start again, do not use garlic for long periods of time in the same skin, Garlic is powerfull antibacterial, and antifungal but sometimes it can irritate skin or even cause blisters when applied a high dose. Try to do not use it in skin that is sensitive or to thin, is fine to use it on skin with more quantities of collageno wich makes it stronger as tip of the fingers, or toes and heels.
Garlic is good in capsules and even raw but overdose can cause vomiting and stomach irritation.
Everything in the right messure is best. :)

I am drinking lots of Sun tea, I was not familiar with this kind of tea but last sunday while visiting my in laws they had this jar of tea (you add just water and the tea of your preference mint is delicious but you can do any natural herb you will like add some sugar and)... put it in the light of the Sun since early morning untill Noon, I just loved it, I have always been a lover of Tea and Sun, and Sun Tea is just the drink or my life haha
I recommend it, because the sun energizes your body and arteries and disolve energy clots in the channels and chackras so there you go and easy way to ge some sunshine in your life.

Spring Break

I have been very busy this past week, my older sister came to visit from Mexico, I am so happy she came and my kids loved it to, she is very wise and we talk about everything :P
I am not going to be writing so often in the blog anymore I need to take it easy, I have two kids that need a lot of attention and my whole love and heart, I think there is not better way to make a good contribution to the world when you rise good children just good humble smart with culture and love in their heart humans, they need more of me and as they grow their needs start changing, they are very good they listen most of the time, they eat good, they sleep good, and they are pretty well behave and nice with people too, but every day my oldest wakes up with a new surprise in her personality, and I need to concentrate on making sure to understand and that I can keep up the comunication with her clear and strong, I see out there so much wrong and negative things in the world, I am trying to prevent that the worst things happen to me, maybe not everything but at least I want to make sure they know there is people that loved them and understand them and that I am here for them always.
Blogging is a great way to express what we feel and to keep record and like a diary and is sometimes a therapy, because I don't talk to so many people. It was great gettint to know wonderfull people's blog out there and know there is still humans on earth.
Have a wonderfull weekend! and God Bless You!

Leaving Memories

What should I take with me?
Nothing I will leave behind of me, in earth?
What my heart should do?
In vane we have come, to sprout in earth?
Lets leave at least the flowers
Lets leave at least the songs.

Beautifull Full Moon

The full moon and me

Moon brings so many benefits to our lifes, heals, protects, feed your spirit. Is our mother as the sun is our father, just a representation I like to see.
I have read in psiquiatrics that psiquiatric patients go crasier when the moon is full, this is because they get the energy but they do not know how to canalize it.
The same happens sometimes when people is thinking of negative things this could get sometimes powerized that is why we need to give a positive guidence to our energy, is like a kid with nothing to do... what they do?, they just jump around untill they brake their head or something.
We are connected and energy runs trought our bodies, and some we storage.
I think that every thing that God gave us is a blessing and the Moon can't be a exception
Moon releases so much energy and her rays are feeding our earth and air in ways we cannot explain, yet.
I find myself very confortable and full of energy when the Moon is shining like this
is a shame that there is negative people thinking they can use this energy to produce spells and stuff, misticism is ignorance, there is not mistery, there is divine Science and the book is inside of you, start reading. Nothing is a secret under the Sun.
I hope when I talk about unusual things, don't give the wrong impresion of me beeing a witch and feel bad because inquisicion is over, but once at my Natural Medicine School in Mexico, a teacher shaman told us,
"If someone ever ask you or tell you, that you are a witch, tell them No I am not, I am a Ancient Natural Healer from the Indigenas Aztecs and Mayan cultures, witches were from Europe, so no I am not a witch. " :P

Beautiful Skin Natural Hydrotherapy

Tip for a beautiful skin face

This is very simple, every day when you wake up in the morning, first thing to do
Rinse your face with fresh water and give a soft massage to stimulate your skin cells.
Then add a little more water to make your face wet
and do not dry
Let your skin drink all that water and your face will be fresh and young for a long time.
You can do this all over your body, this stimulates the blood circulation and immune system, you must use a wet towel and rub the wet towel starting from your right toes to your head and the from the head down to your left toes, rub to generate heat.
By doing this you can improve your skin and your blood flow. :)

Spiritual food

When talking about changing your diet to improve your health and life, is not just material foods what our body needs, even more we need the spiritual foods, that we need as much as the material ones.
We all need to make some time for meditation, reflexion, prayer and concentrate just on this, once a day (just as we ate every day) in a quiet place it doesn't need to be a long time, a few minutes could be enough but has to be a time just for this, knowing this is important and practicing you will love it and feel the benefit of this, I know most of us do this is in our nature, first of all we need to quiet the mind a time to forget about everything and just come back and have a chat with ourselves with our counscience, this is a good cure after a day and a life of living worring about what is going to happen tomorrow and all the worries in life, that are in fact just not enough important to keep you from living and enjoying your life 100%, in this time of meditation, there is no room to think about hate or guilt, nothing but expecting your inner spirit talk to you and comes to tell you, I am here, I am with you and everything is alright I will not leave you, and you don't need nothing else I will show you the way and guide you, I will feed you and heal you, because that is why I am here, you just need to take the time to listen, I am here, silence your mind, take away from your eyes that fog and see me, this will give a reset to your brain, a boost to our spirit and a stronger immune system.
Another way to feed your spirit is getting lots of sunlight, in the palm of your hands too, and from the moon rays too. This is not witchcraft in case sounds weird, ancient cultures did this, egipt and aztecs where solar cultures and they knew this things and there is where we are going again just wait and see...
When we ate our meals we have to ask blessing this food, and energize it, ask God to do it for you so is much better and will be more nutricious and absorbed by your organs better, enriches your blood, because every change starts in our mind this is very important.
We can also feed our spirit by praying, by wishing good to others, and loving ourselves very much and others, our enemy too, sometimes we are not in the mood to pray for our enemies, that is fine, just don't hate them so much, :P hate poisons your soul, and your bones, hate is very bad, and also you send bad energy to the person you hate and the universe will bring it back to you, there is nothing under the sun, that God cannot see, so lets live and let others live and love and let others love, and have a wonderfull weekend :)

Outdoor health

In the spring and summer we spent a lot of time outdoors, we have been so separated from nature that sometimes especially people living in extreme weather became more allergic to all we come in contact outdoors.
For sure we will get an allergy, rashes or an insect bite during this time.
There is one great way to keep mosquitoes away and is a healthy one too, you should take a complex of vitamin B and specially B12, mosquitoes will stay away from you and won’t bite you, also there is a few escencial oils that prevent mosquitoes to get close to you as eucaliptus, rosemery, cinnamon, peppermint... if you get bitten you can use arnica infusion or arnica ointment for inflammation and relieve from pain on bruises, and honey too Honey is good to cure wounds faster, because contains also antibiotic for infections, you have to wash the wound and then apply raw honey better at night and cover it. make sure your honey is clean.
For rashes there is nothing better that oatmeal infusion, or grind the oatmeal and put it in the tub in warm water, especially in children this is a natural way to sooth itchy and rash skin.
Improve your immune system and get it ready for any infection you can get being outdoors Vitamin C and Echinacea are a great immune booster to be prepared.
Calendula has antiviral and antibacterial properties this can be use too after sun burns and bites, also for diaper rash.
Have a wonderful week!!!
