Many like to make their money within nine months of the year and travel or just take a break for three months. It really all depends on your income requirements, skill set and the needs of your community. The options span far and wide.
TAKE BACK YOUR HEALTH USING NATURAL APPROACHES
Natural health, on the other hand, is about taking back your health. It is about regaining your God given right to choose what is best for your own body. It is about learning and using the tools that nature has provided you. Some examples might be using essential oils which are plant derived concentrated substances or homeopathic remedies which are derived from plant, animal or mineral sources. Both types come from nature and the body is able to quickly assimilate them offering fast healing.
Natural healing can also come from nutrient dense foods such as raw honey, healthy fats, organic free-range chicken bone broth and the myriad of organic vegetables.
In the beginning, you may feel like a fish swimming upstream as you are initially met with much opposition by those who have little understanding. To those, I say “Beware of the half-truth. You may have gotten hold of the wrong half.” (Author unknown)
Using credible sources, such as Sayer Ji’s enormous library with over 10,000 health topics, you can easily become knowledgeable on what interests you. Sayer provides evidence based natural medical information helping you learn and review the field of natural health.
When you are open to new or different information you will be able to use discernment when making health choices for you and your family. Why let someone else make that choice for you, someone who does not have your best interest at hand?
When you come back to the homestead you are returning to nature. When you walk into the woods you become one with your natural surroundings. Natural health and modern homesteading go hand in hand. The products derived from natural sources feed your health. It is your health that is required to keep your modern homestead alive.
