It‘s time for herbal medicine seminars! I don‘t know how I fell down this rabbit hole, but I did.

Maybe it’s out of motivation to keep my metabolism in the right state and not wanting to suffer from fatigue caused by hormonal imbalances again. A kind of weird fatigue that, for example, when I went grocery shopping, would almost cause me to pass out while standing in line, because my body depleted its energy reserves so quickly. I don‘t want to experience this again.
And most of all, figuring out that conventional medicine only offered me to cut out body parts if treatment for my illness wouldn‘t work. Thank God I didn‘t have to reach that point, and I want to learn more and more so that I will never have to.

And I‘m earning money through this interest now too. by @ecoamelie

First panicky thought was: What am I doing today? Where do I go shopping for food?
It‘s a day off after a lot of workdays with few interruptions. Until I realized: I don‘t have to go anywhere, be anywhere. And a feeling in my body that I would be happier keeping things lowkey. No trip to any city centre necessary to look at cute stuff on my day off. My boyfriend stopped by and brought honey from a customer who is a beekeeper in his spare time 😍 my kind of people!
Just a potato/courgette/onion soup with produce from the fridge/cabinets that needed using up. Maybe a swim later. Just maybe. by @ecoamelie

Chlorinated water dries out my skin so much. Trying to benefit from swimming outside while it‘s still possible. by @ecoamelie

And of course there‘s no commercial interest in pushing you to go to the gym whatsoever 😉 by @ecoamelie

My eco-friendly life currently looks pretty unexcited - that doesn‘t make it any less eco-friendly!

Started my newest batch of kombucha, made some tea from foraged yarrow, having some foraged blackberries daily.
Yarrow is currently in season and blooming in July.
Yarrow is great to relieve cramps during periods, great for your gut and also helping to lower blood pressure, among other things. It is the „medicinal plant of the year 2025“ and one of my new favorites. How are your eco-friendly endeavours going? by @ecoamelie

Some impressions from my eco-friendly trip to the French Riviera.
Looking at boats instead of taking them.
Only means of transport after arrival was walking.
Marseille St Charles station on my way back.
Would definitely recommend to take the French high speed train TGV to reach France‘s coasts. by @ecoamelie

I have a feeling I would definitely choose a water birth if I have the opportunity. This is also about not having to choose between being unsafe and alone and having a birth with doctors and midwives around but in a way that you wouldn‘t want to choose. by @ecoamelie
