Today I was given some pretty terrible news; because of lame insurance rules, I am on a one-year waiting period for my "pre-existing condition". I get that this is their way of avoiding paying for my doctors visits and meds, but seriously? However, rather than pouting, crying, and shouting at the far-off insurance company, I'm doing what any sensible person would do -- researching natural supplements and yoga styles that will have to suffice. I'm really quite hopeful and excited too; if I can somehow find something that can work that doesn't involve pumping my body full of junk, I'd be thrilled.
My new found herbal-remedy hobby has been quite amusing, really. When researching herbs I found this little gem: It works as a natural aid for many nasty conditions we'd like to be rid of.
