What's Going on In The Natural Health and & Healing World: Curation #58

Hey hey hey, it's that time of the week AGAIN? I'm on curation duties for the second week in a row due to unforeseen circumstances - and I must say it's always a pleasure (whilst declaring we're on the hunt for new curators - see Saturday's job description here!

I've been surviving off fire cider all winter long and I swear it keeps the colds at bay. If you haven't heard of this immune boosting amazingness, check out @missdeli's variation here - an amazing tonic EVERYONE must try and a beautifully presented post!

Speaking of things I can't get enough of, moderation is one of them (see what I did there?). @metemetheus's post explores the wisdom of in this post. I particularly loved the inclusion of Simao's 'twelve reductions':

Excessive thought imperils the spirit,
Excessive thought scatters the will,
Excessive desires muddle the will,
Excessive business affairs exhaust the physical body,
Excessive speech wears out the qi,
Excessive laughter damages the viscera,
Excessive worry intimidates the heart,
Excessive joy makes the intentions spill over,
Excessive happiness makes you forget mistakes and become muddled and confused,
Excessive anger makes the hundred vessels unsettled,
Excessive likes make you lose your concentration, and
Excessive dislikes make you haggard and dismal.
