Time to get your shots. The Belly Shot! ( ᐛ )و

If you know me, than you know I'm NOT talking about vaccinations.  Today I'm going to introduce you to the "belly shot".

Yup.  It's a real thing. Well, it has its reasoning behind the name.  

Every morning I take turmeric in a veggie capsule.



I can't say enough about this root!  But honestly, I much prefer to eat it and I do that too, but making sure that I get this into my system everyday is effortless by popping it encapsulated.

Cooking curry is another favorite way to get some of this brilliant hued plant into your system.  Sprinkling it on eggs, in any soup, stew or smoothie are all great too!



(Totally recommend that signing canary recipe by trim healthy mama. So nourishing for the adrenals and tastes similar to a creamsicle.)



So now can you see why I'm singing about turmeric?

And what I'm about to share is a fantastic approach with it.  We are going to combine antioxidant-rich turmeric with the probiotic benefits of raw apple cider vinegar.  This can be taken daily, as a morning "shot", for an extended period of time to aid your body in a gentle cleanse.

It can help to easily wash away parasites and fight digestive ailments.

So if your body is feeling a bit sluggish, bloated or you know you just binged on a lot of unhealthy garb, this may just be the quick & simple, do it yourself, answer.

We advised making this 4.5 cups of immune boosting elixir and letting it cool the night before.
Then you will have about approximately 2 ounce "shots" for a 2 week run.  Or this can be shared by 2, for a week.   

Okay?  Lets DO This!

Ingredients

  • 4 cups distilled water
  • 1/4 cup raw apple cider vinegar (look for the mother/acetic acid!)
  • 1/4 cup raw honey
  • 1 t ground turmeric
  • 1/8 t cayenne pepper

Instructions

  • Heat the water in a saucepan, over medium heat, until just steaming. Then remove it from the heat & stir in the honey, until dissolved.
  • Stir in the apple cider vinegar, turmeric and cayenne pepper. Then pour it into (we prefer) a glass mason jar with lid and refrigerate for at least a couple hours, to chill.

I added a pinch of Pink Himalayan Salt, just preference.

It's easy.  Really, it looks like a lot of steps but it is quick, simple, only uses 4 ingredients and stores in the fridge nicely.

Have your shot today!  I think you'll feel the difference.

Trending; My 3 year stint with the keto diet, a review

Image
Now before I begin to be demonized and sent a bunch of hate email , I’m NOT a doctor. Nor did I do the keto WOE (way of eating) under the care of a health practitioner. *I take full responsibility of my own health therefor I do my own due diligence, research and experiments; performed on me, by me. With this said this is my story, not yours. Please take anything I say as just that, my personal experience and opinions. And sorry I'm not siting any scientific reports for this article.  I'm keeping it personal.   I'm JUST a mom! Whew, now that we have all that squared away, let’s begin, shall we? (Note; For those just skimming, or have limited time, the condensed review is at the bottom.) The story: I began the keto WOE back in June of 2013 and I was 7 months postpartum at the time. However I continued this WOE through 2 pregnancies, exclusive breastfeeding and beyond. (ie. Intense workouts, heavy weight lifting, hiking, and more.) For my body, this mean...

Reinforcements; Plant Allies!

Image
Many of us are either sick or experiencing a loved one's sickness.  Either way the pain of illness is close. Smoke Signals is a place to share information that encourages one another.  We believe that we have been given everything we need to live and abundant life.  This is our mantra because we want it to sink in. It's true! We advocate WILD EDIBLES on our side bar, to the left, for many reasons. 1.) FREE medicine! It's wise & true that every seed bearing plant has been given to us for fruit and it's leaf for medicine. "Let thy food be thy medicine and medicine be thy food." "Eat the rainbow" 2.) It's more than just a medicine or a food.  It's a holistic way of living. It's a symbiotic relationship. It's synergy!  We were created to consume these plants just as they were created for us to consume. It goes in a harmonious cycle. We give off carbon dioxide, they give off oxygen. They adapt to the ever ch...

Shampoo, no-poo, or co-washing?!?

Shampoo, no-poo, or co-washing?!? What does all this mean and what is the best natural hair care method? Do we really need shampoo? What about just using conditioner? All those plastic bottles not only contribute to the waste epidemic but what about all the money wrapped up in this one simple daily practice? Do you think I can write this entire post in questions? My opinion ( which has not been evaluated by the food and drug administration, I assure you ) is this; Shampoo as infrequently as possible. -No I'm not kidding.- Even the mildest shampoo strips oils, that's what it is formulated to do. Therefore one who has dry hair, doesn't need more drying. And if you tend toward oily hair, frequent shampooing creates a cycle in which the scalp increases production of oils (Sebaceous glands secrete an oily or waxy matter, called sebum.) in response to every washing away of it. Subsequently this leads you to believe that you should be washing y...
