## Medicinal Plant Study: Gale of the wind (Phyllanthus) @matthewtony Studies the healing benefits of Gale of the wind(Phyllanthus) sharing his family connection with the plant. The post is packed with beautiful photos. Check out their post [What am I up to at the moment? Bringing a healing Miracle plant With Health benefit [ Phyllanthus plant, Otherwise known as Gale of the wind plant]](https://steemit.com/ecotrain/@matthewtonyit/what-am-i-up-to-at-the-moment-bringing-a-healing-miracle-plant-with-health-benefit-phyllanthus-plant-otherwise-known-as-gale-of-f361a538aa6ef). They write: > This particular healing plant is just to amazing, and I will like us to observe something very closely. The plant contains fruits which can be found at the back of the plant. Is this not a miracle to you? All plants that bears fruit should be on the plant not at the back. When I was first introduced to the plant by my Mom, she said > My son, I brought you a healing miracle plant today which I will like you to observe very closely and let your mind be healed from various kind of all diseases..**
## Itchy Scalp Natural Remedy (Recipe) @celestialcow shares an itchy scalp remedy. Check out her video to get the full description and recipe [Itchy scalp remedy | natural & effective](https://steemit.com/vegan/@celestialcow/itchy-scalp-remedy-or-natural-and-effective). They write: > Recently I suffered alot with itchiness on my scalp, after looking up some home remedies I made this serum for the scalp. It instantly worked into my skin and relieved the unbearable itchiness. Now I regular make this hair mask every couple of weeks to refresh the scalp.
## Seeking Alternative Options when Mainstream Fails to Deliver @riverflows writes about why she is angry at mainstream doctors, and sadly, this is a topic and experience that many women can relate. Check out her post [Two Health Professionals, Two Experiences: Why I'm Angry at Mainstream Doctors, And Advocating for Naturopaths.](https://steemit.com/steempress/@riverflows/twohealthprofessionalstwoexperienceswhyimangryatmainstreamdoctorsandadvocatingfornaturopaths-ew2fy1r5zo). They write: > He interrupts. 'You aren't likely to have a heart attack' he said. 'You aren't in the right demographic.' It's my turn to blink. Does no-one ask family history questions anymore? I tell him my sister had one at 38, and my father did despite excellent health. 'Oh,' he says. 'I will write you a referral. You do realise,' he says, 'that he is a private consultant and it costs?'. I look at my ugg boots with the smear of paint on them and my old jeans. I've come straight from the garden. I ignore him. I'm desperately trying not to judge him. He seems not suffer from this concern.

## Mindful Habits for our Well-being @artemislives has us smelling the sea air as she shares natural health wisdom from the beach including the importance of taking time to re-fill our cup [Vitamin Sea - Taking It Home!](https://steemit.com/naturalmedicine/@artemislives/vitamin-sea-taking-it-home). She Writes: > Vitamin Sea, we jokingly call it. Something that we all need more of, more often. It's no accident that doctors throughout the years have prescribed time by the sea for all sorts of ailments and diseases. These last weeks, I have enjoyed my first solo holiday in 15 years (since my now 14 year old daughter was conceived) in Hoi An, Central Vietnam. Beachside. With my daughter away on a cultural experience jaunt in South Korea, it was time for this solo mama to fill her own cup.
