July 24th, 2024…
Ok guys… Hi, my name is LumaraRose, but you can call me Rose. š¹I’d like to share a little about me… My journey in gardening and the plant world has been slowly budding my entire life… But it really took off in 2007, when I started taking some horticulture, landscape design and landscape maintenance classes online. I dove right in and knew that I had truly found a passion that would drive me forward my entire life… So, I dabbled in gardening and plants from time to time until my oldest son was about six months in 2011… At that time I met these hippies who lived in a homestead called Dharma Farm in Paulden, Az. There we practiced and put to work what we studied About Natural living. We farmed chicken, goats and a decent sized garde. We baked homemade bread from our sourdough starter. Lived a vegan life and as the house wife, I excelled in the kitchen as the chef for the residents. We built garden beds, laid irrigation lines and built dwellings including a mushroom cellar and guest quarters with recycled bottles and all. My little baby boy, became sick with constant ear infections. After three rounds of antibiotics, he developed pneumonia and I became very worrisome.i could tell that the western medicine wasn’t working for him and was actually making him sicker and prone to far worse illnesses. So, I picked up some herb books and researched herbal medicine. Mind you, I’d been fascinated with the plant world my entire life, since I was a little girl… In my studies I found a combination of GSE (grapefruit seed extract) and olive leaf extract could be used in replace of antibioticsā¦ So I figured out the dosing for my infant and tried this on himā¦ Within days, he got better and weeks later, after nearly three months of severe pain and illness, my sweet baby was better and did not revert back to his prolonged ear infection. Soon thereafter, the entire house was sick with some sort of chest cold/fluā¦ I tried this combination on them and againā¦ It worked like a charmā¦ My mind was madeā¦ I was then devoted to studying herbs and shifting away from western pharmaceuticalsā¦ now, nearly 13 years laters, I’ve been a skilled Herbalist and offering plant medicines to many people around the country including Naturopathic clinics in the Phoenix area, online sales and my Farmers Market booths.
