Reach for Plants ~ Rhodiola to the Rescue

Reach for Plants ~ Rhodiola to the Rescue The other day I was feeling off, stressy and overwhelmed. I feel it has a lot to do with the constant unseasonable rain and cloud cover. After unsuccessful attempts to redirect my mood, I decided to have a time out and it popped in my head to add some Rhodiola rosea to my Kombucha. It felt as if only minutes had passed, and this lightness came over me.

It's simply not possible.  The frequency of the human body typically ranges from 62 to 78 MHz when healthy, with disease starting to occur when it drops below 58 MHz. Each organ also has its own specific frequency, co...
