Once again there has been a lot happening this week with wonderful natural medicine and natural medicine healing content, we wrapped up the **"AFTER THE VIRUS" Natural Medicine Challenge** (check out the entries [here](https://www.naturalmedicine.io/hive-120078/@naturalmedicine/after-the-virus-natural-medicine-challenge-and-the-winners-are), there is some pretty in depth responses to this one) and we had a fabulous gathering and music concert with medicine music from @joseacabrerav and @trovadormusica , [Here](https://www.naturalmedicine.io/hive-120078/@naturalmedicine/join-us-on-saturday-25th-hive-giveaway-and-free-entry) was our invite post telling a bit about them and @riverflows said it was recorded so I hope she got a good recording for there was some amazing (and yes healing) music happening! Now onto that great content...

If you want some inspiration to get foraging and supplementing your diet with these free foods, @riverflows is the one to give you that in her post **"Foraging in the UK: 10 Wild Foods I'm Eating This Spring"** She was out in the Somerset countryside but I bet you can find some of these plants in your own backyard! Read her post [here](https://hive.blog/hive-120078/@riverflows/foraging-in-the-uk-10-wild-foods-i-m-eating-this-spring) @riverflows took us on another walk in her post [here](https://peakd.com/hive-174578/@riverflows/draycott-sleights-and-asham-wood-they-can-t-stop-us-a-walking) and another one that is a bit of a rant about potatoes [here](https://peakd.com/hive-170798/@riverflows/i-never-want-to-eat-potatoes-ever-again)

@denmarkguy had some delightful posts! The one I have chosen here is a bit of a heads up for our levels of stress and how we can keep them down (with some beautiful photography!)

@minismallholding also spoke on stress and how we can shore up our wellness defenses. She gave a wonderful example of a man who turned around being confined to allow himself to be free!
