Crooked Bear Creek Organic Herbs's avatarCrooked Bear Creek Organic Herbs

Finding a three-leaf clover may bring good luck, but taking red clover as a healing herb may bring even better fortune!

People have appreciated the therapeutic qualities of the red clover’s pink and red-hued blossom for generations. Women, in particular, have passed down its secrets as a remedy for feminine issues, whether premenstrual syndrome or menopause symptoms.

In modern times, scientific research has backed up its traditional uses, including supporting bone strength, blood health, hair growth, and mental wellness. For women, red clover might also offer support for symptoms of menopause; for men, it’s believed to encourage a healthy prostate.

What Is Red Clover?

Red clover (Trifolium pratense) — also known as cow clover, meadow clover, or wild clover — is a legume found in Europe, Western Asia, and northwest Africa. Red clover contains isoflavones. Isoflavones are a type of phytoestrogens, which are chemicals that are similar to the hormone estrogen…

Lāʻau Lāpaʻau || All About Your Heart; Foods That Lower Blood Pressure

Crooked Bear Creek Organic Herbs's avatarCrooked Bear Creek Organic Herbs

There is a virtual cornucopia of foods, herbs, and other forms of nourishment that are readily available to lower high blood pressure, or hypertension, naturally. Fruits, vegetables, and nuts are just a handful of healthy things you can eat to promote healthy blood flow. Learning the benefits of these foods and determining which ones are best for your diet may help to lower your blood pressure and maintain circulatory health.

The Importance of Your Blood

“Blood is a very special juice,” wrote the famous 18th-century author Johann Wolfgang von Goethe, but it is more than just “special.” Blood is the fuel that sustains human and animal life. It enables the body to stay alive by carrying oxygen and nutrients to living cells, taking away waste products, and transporting immune cells to fight infections. The average human adult body contains more than six quarts of blood which travels through the blood vessels and…

Signs of High Blood Pressure

According to guidelines set by the American College of Cardiology and American Heart Association Task Force on Clinical Practice Guidelines, nearly half of American adults have high blood pressure. If you don’t have high blood pressure yourself, chances are you know someone who does. Being aware of high blood pressure and hypertension is critical. When left undiagnosed, it can lead to heart attack, stroke, or other dangerous health conditions. The first step towards preventing or mitigating the risks of high blood pressure is recognizing the issue. While it is often called the “silent killer,” there are some common signs and symptoms of high blood pressure you can watch out for.

What Is Blood Pressure & How Is It Measured?

Happy Imbolc, or Groundhog Day

Susan Levitt's avatarSusan Levitt

Closeup_groundhog_FA

Feb 2 marks the solar point between Winter Solstice and Spring Equinox. It’s the pagan holiday of Imbolc, the birthing of the lambs, also called Candlemas. And a time for divination about weather, hence Groundhog Day.

If Candlemas is fair and bright,
winter has another flight.
If Candlemas brings clouds and rain,
winter will not come again.

And
If Candlemas Day is bright and clear,
there’ll be two winters in the year.

Wishing you a peaceful Imbolc,

Susan

Reader: More from Greg Rubini — The Fate of US Intelligence Agencies

Submitted to Operation Disclosure | Anonymously

The 4 Intelligence Agencies that will remain are:
– NSA (Sigint)
– NRO (Space, Satellites)
– DIA (Mil Intel)
– FBI (domestic Intel – under DOJ)

All the other useless 13 Agencies will cease to exist. These 4 Intel Agencies will report directly
to the (restructured and shrinked) National Security Council.

The National Security Council will brief the President.

The ONI (US Navy Intel), INSCOM (US Army Intel), 25th AF (US Air Force Intel) will all be incorporated into the DIA (Mil Intel) the NSA will be totally re-organized, and shrunk.

The NSA will not more be allowed to spy on innocent citizens, not at home, neither abroad.

The NSA will spy only on criminals and dangerous (defined) targets. The CIA will be totally dismantled, and thrown to the trash. Several (not all) the crimes committed by the CIA – since 1947 – will be exposed.

Card of the Day – Page of Wands – Saturday, February 2, 2019

tarotbycecelia's avatarTarot by Cecelia

Excitement is the word of the day as Venus trines Uranus. If you were expecting a typical Saturday, then expect the unexpected. Our Page of Wands shows exciting changes are indeed possible. And, of course, with Uranus in the mix, you can never be quite certain what will happen.

The Page is a Messenger, signifying inspiration and new beginnings. It is true that the changes you wish may not be here just yet, but it is inevitable that they will occur. Our dancing goddess depicted here may have a good idea. Go out, socialize, and dance the night away. You should like today, and, if single and mingling, Venus may just send a surprise your way.

See you here tomorrow!

Jayaṃ ve maññati bālo

alone makes one victorious.

Happy Winter Thermstice/Imbolc!

NaturalisticPaganism's avatarNaturalistic Paganism

Hidden life beneath the snow and ice……   What discovery could fit Imbolc better than this?  Scientists in Antarctica have discoveredliving bacteria, as well as animal bodies, in the permanent darkness of pockets of water beneath hundreds of meters of ice in Antarctica!  Unlike our winter which is months long for most of us, these have not seen the light of day for thousands of years!

Celebrations

The life exists, hidden beneath the snow.   Gathering strength, yet hidden in many ways.  How long and harsh will this winter be?  Can traditions of groundhogs or candles tell us?  I recently saw a Pagans personalized Wheel of the Year, and they had Imbolc labelled as “Brightening”, opposite the sacred holiday of “Dimming”.  I think these are great names – though the change does start at the Solstices, it’s later that the change begins to be noticeable.  These and many other themes…

Trigger Happy Danger astrology Mars square Pluto

Tara Greene www.taratarot.com's avatarTara Greene,Tarot,Astrology,Psychic

Beware of trigger happy or rather trigger angry, mad, pissed off, revenge energies February 1 as Mars in Aries where he is the warrior on fire squaring Pluto in Capricorn.

This can be a dangerous day of shootings bombings and angry mobs. The Energy is high and aggressive. Mars and Pluto both rule Scorpio so the overall theme here is one of transformation, change, death and rebirth.

This is very sexual heavy energy too. Urge to rape and be primitive aggressive and animalistic is high. Women be on the defense and men too.

If you can channel this competitive aggressive Dominating BDSM carefully and both parties are clear this could be rewarding for you. 

Mars is the planet of the Masculine and Pluto’s square to it indicated a transformation in the aggressive male warrior energy. The Patriarchy’s time is up. Their self-imbued self- proclaimed hierarchical power over women, the earth…

Card of the Day – The Chariot – Friday, February 1, 2019

tarotbycecelia's avatarTarot by Cecelia

Welcome to February! Today it is time to pick up the reins of your life, jump in the driver seat, and get this show on the road. It does not matter that it is Friday, you can resume control of something today, and begin to feel as though you are putting life back on track.

I have been speaking of a square between Mars (action) and Pluto (transformation), and today you may feel compelled to take charge. However, keep it to your own self and situations, for messing with the higher-ups simply will not work today. Victory in an important area is totally possible now, and you should become clearer, as in black and white, with no gray areas. Good moves on your part today can be a much-needed confidence builder, pushing you toward the changes necessary to have the life you desire.

See you here tomorrow!
