Healing
This is the sign that greets visitors to my home, without it, I run the risk of getting very sick every day from the most innocuous things – perfume, fabric softener, new clothes, new plastics that are out gassing, you name it, my body will react to it. I have a chronic illness called Multiple Chemical Sensitivity which causes my body to react to the smallest doses of every day chemicals as though they were the worst poisons on earth, and for me, they can be.
My goal for this section of Sacred Seeds is to help education other people about MCS and share my experiences along this journey of healing. Over time I will update this page will links to articles I have written, links that I have found useful, and vendors that helped me along the way. Health and healing are personal journeys, what works for me, may not work for others, I offer this information only as a set of suggestions – roadsigns and proof that we are not alone in this process.
Many blessings on your path, whatever that may be.
