My Red Yoga Mat

My Red Yoga Mat

Tara Carpenter, NC., CPES.

Originally published on July 15, 2015

My red yoga mat is like a loved teddy bear that has been with me through thick ‘n thin since my 20’s when I taught myself how to do each yoga posture with a little book written by Richard Hittleman.

This was before my children were born and my career had taken off; when the days were seamless, and I went where the wind blew …. one of those places was Esalen in Big Sur; where my love for yoga deepened into the easy practice I continue to this day.

Traditional Milk Kefir: Recipe

This traditional form of milk kefir has 2 ingredients …. milk and starter, that’s it. Straight up, simple stuff. I was introduced to kefir while on The Body Ecology Diet (B.E.D) to heal chronic yeast overgrowth. This kefir reduced my cravings, cleared my acne, and took away my endless stomach bloating.

My husband, who hails from Czech Republic, says he drank milk kefir growing up and that this traditional food is still all the rage in Europe; along with cultured butter and creme fraiche.

Boluses (a.k.a. ovules, vaginal suppositories) are anti-viral, anti-bacterial, anti-fungal, and provide relief from vaginal yeast infections. These tube-like shapes are solid at room temperature but melt once inserted to release the oils and herbs inside which will absorb into the vaginal tissue.

Holistic nutrition for people on The Body Ecology Diet (B.E.D.).

I created this recipe while working as a therapeutic chef for a client who wanted a series of baking sessions for foods allowed on The Body Ecology Diet (B.E.D). She wanted to make B.E.D. friendly baked goods for her child. We had lots of fun and her daughter loved everything!

When you’re on a healing diet that is restricted in what you can eat then enjoying something sweet that you can eat and enjoy is a gratifying experience; especially if you, or your child, have ever been denied sweetness for a long time in order to heal a specific health condition (i.e., Candida, autism). read more
