How I Beat a Urinary Tract Infection (UTI) without Antibioitcs

It was about 7 weeks ago that I got my very first urinary tract infection (UTI).

It was no fun at all. It hit me about 10 pm at night, I couldn’t sleep because I felt like I had to pee, chronically, with no end in sight. Ugh, it was awful. Thankfully I didn’t have any pain associated with it. I had no pressure around my bladder and no burning when I urinated initially, but I did have an uncomfortable feeling. That evening I started drinking lots and lots of water, popping vitamin C and garlic, which is a natural antibiotic. I rubbed Thieves essential oil over my bladder throughout the night. Finally, about 4 hours later the urge to go potty went away and I was able to go to sleep. [Read more…]

5 Jul by Becky Webb 5 Comments

I am sure you’ve heard the buzz about essential oils.

If you haven’t heard the buzz then surely you have heard the murmurs. It seems as though everyone is wanting to get their hands on essential oils these days. Between Facebook and Pinterest I’m seeing dozens of essential oil posts each day. Whenever I post a essential oil testimonial on my personal Facebook page many of my friends are always asking more questions about essential oils: how do I use them, what oils are good for what health struggles and where do I get them? I also get lots of questions about essential oils from people who are rather new to natural or holistic health and may even be skeptical about essential oils, and want to know more about the science behind the oils.

How to Turn a Breech Baby Naturally

26 Jun by Becky Webb 10 Comments

Most medical professionals do not know how to deliver a breech baby these days.

There was a time in history when medical professionals were trained well on how to deliver a breech infant. That practice and training is now nearly nonexistent in the United States today even though many babies can be delivered safely in breech position. The truth is that delivering breech can come with its risks but, so can a c-section. I’ve recently come across several threads on Facebook from certain friends that have been curious how to turn a breech baby. The majority of the comments typically have to do with either an immediate c-section or a doctor attempting to do a version. [Read more…]
