I know several kids that could benefit from getting more Omega 3's in their diet! I will be cooking a lot more Salmon for my son! It is so important to help boost his focus and behavior in school! Thank you for sharing this podcast! A special thanks to www.momsloveshopping.com for pointing me in the right direction in listening to this great podcast!

My grandmother was a firm believer in barley water with lemon. Once I was in my teens, she would regularly make it for me. To this day, I prefer traditional remedies, where they make sense. Thanks for an informative podcast.

I really enjoyed this podcast and plan on listening to it again so I can write down all the suggested herbs and their uses. I also hope to swing by my nearest Whole Foods (20 miles away) and stock up my natural medicine cabinet!

It's interesting to hear how there are traditional responses to depression and anxeity that seem to be ignored in our pharma happy society.

This podcast explains why I love certain scents at certain times. Iknow that I prefer certain smells when I'm stressed out, and certain ones help me relax, so this plays right into what I've already discovered.
