Can I squeal? There's SO much going on with Natural Medicine at the moment it's really making me even more excited than usual. We have some pretty interesting things that will be revealed in good time, lots of new members, and Mindful Life starting to really blosssom. It's enough to make this little @riverflows head spin! That's why this fortnight we're keeping it a little more simple after last time's deep philosophical musings on life, death and health (congratulations to @owasco, who took out the huge 20 Steem prize!). We're gonna roll up our sleeves and get practical.
Steemfolk are AWESOME. They are a constant source of inspiration as they create content about amazing projects. So many people in Natural Medicine make their own in a desire to be keep it organic, safe, non-toxic and ethical - from tinctures to ferments to balms and salves. @nateonsteemit's been telling us about his oil infused brews in Discord this week, ready to make his own creme for when someone in his family injures themselves. He's got the glass jars all ready to go! So exciting.
Thus, our theme this week is HOME REMEDIES - practical solutions for common ailments from the flu to scraped knees to insomnia to cracked heels.
Some ideas
- Document a process or a recipe for a new remedy you're experimenting with.
- Investigate a remedy for what is bugging you, like an insect repellent (pun intended)
- Talk about a childhood cure that your grandparents used to use on you - did it work? Was there any merit in it or was it a folk cure with no real medicinal backing?
- Write about a home remedy you might use on animals or pets or children (sorry to group them all in one bullet point, he he)
We favour
- posts with personal anecotes balanced with research or science if possible (this isn't always available, and there are many legitimate forms of knowledge)
- posts with at least one original photo or image as the thumbnail image
- well written, original posts
Guidelines

I have a friend that had a great home remedy for everything. I don't know if it is really enough information to make a full post out of it. I wish it was though, I think it would be really good for this contest.

My family and I have been taking CBD oil for a few months now. I will tell you it does work, the is the ultimate natural medicine you can use. It is hemp CBD has no THC and it will help with many things.
As you know I am a veteran and I use it to treat my PTSD and other ailments and for pain. I am more active and in a better mood from taking it and I am getting things done here on the homestead.
I am not a doctor or a medicine man! I am just a guy that uses CBD and I will tell you from my experience it has done wonders for me. Do your own research on things and find something that works for you. Give CBD oil a try I think you will like it and what it can do for your health.
Wonderful - you should absolutely post about this and enter our challenge!

Resteem Issue - Since this post has passed 8 days, there is no resteem button for this one. So I have resteemed the new reminder post that just came a day ago from @naturalmedicine :) Let me know if it is ok.

Is this the correct place to put this, or should it be on a more recent contest announcement that is not past payout? And may I enter more than once? I got a million of them. It was hard to choose just one!
Cool contest. So many great ideas already. Thanks for hosting it!
