#GM.☕ While touching some grass this weekend, I got bit by fire ants (again) 😔. These bites are really itchy. They blister and can take up to 2 weeks to heal. I'm noting the treatment protocol again, with additional details for future reference and in case someone else may find it useful 1. Immediately soak in "as hot as you can stand" hot water. This is supposed to help draw out the venom. 2. Apply a paste of bentonite clay/water and wrap with gauze/wear a sock. (Turmeric also works to reduce itching, but the clay seemed longer lasting. Bentonite Clay is negatively charged which can attract and draw out the positive charged venom toxins). Repeat AM and PM until itching subsides. 3. Do not pop the blisters... Not sure why, but @Chip advised against it... And it healed without scarring. If you have any natural tips for faster healing/itch relief, please leave a comment 🙏 #fireants #floridalife #holisticmedicine #homeremedies #ayurveda

Did you know that during the fall, as we approach winter, kapha dosha begins to accumulate in our bodies? An excess of kapha dosha leads to sluggishness, congestion and feeling physically and emotionally heavy. The best way to eradicate unwanted dosha is to do a cleanse. Check out my fall newsletter to learn how to do a home cleanse to remove accumulated kapha and boost your immunity before the holidays and winter season. Please social share with someone who needs this in their life. 🙏 Sign up for my newsletter at www.yogawithlois.com for direct access (and in case I forget to post here 😉 ). #ayurveda #plebstr #kapha #fallcleanse

Windy night at the beach... Slacklining, sharing leftover hurricane snax and playing with tarot cards. Apparently I'm supposed to let go, stop being pragmatic, and move forward.🫡 #beachstr #vata
