"Weird" Things That Have Become My "Normal"

So, if you read my previous posts, you probably have some idea that my lifestyle has become very different than what it used to be.  Though I still have to update my blog with what the last 6 weeks have held (I am still in detox/cleanse mode and it's been 8 weeks.  Anyway, I thought you might be interested in reading about some of the strange new things that have become a part of my life.  A few things I was already doing but in the effort of saving money, I have expanded on some of those things. 

• I not only drink kefir (the rest of my family does, too, now) but I now make it, as well
• I make my own yogurt
• We sprout our own sprouts--when a 4-year-old helps grow sprouts she is likely to eat them - :)
• I eat and make lacto-fermented vegetables (a.k.a. saurkraut--I also have made and eaten carrots this way)
• I practice dry skin brushing on a regular basis.  What you do is take a natural bristle brush and dry brush your skin prior to taking a shower.  You make large, circular motions moving from your limbs toward your heart.  (It's a bit more in-depth than that but that is the short of it).  Then in the shower you repeat the motions with your scrubbie.  You then alternate between warm and cool water in the shower.  When it's time to dry off you, again, repeat the pattern with a rough towel.   All this is to help move lymph fluid through the body.  Mine does not seem to move very well so this helps.  When I first had my live blood analyzed, my blood was far too liquid and didn't form a nice 'bubble' when my finger was pricked.  That was because there was too much garbage in my blood from my lymph system not doing its job very well.  It is much, much better now.
• I jump on a mini trampoline a miminum of 5 minutes per day.  This also helps move the lymph fluid through the body. 
• I have had a colonic.  Yes, I really have and it's not that bad.  The science behind it makes good sense.  There are many who believe that death begins in the colon.  When you see pictures of the healthy colon versus sick colons, I will do whatever I need to to not be in the latter group. 
• I eat lots of olive oil but also put it on my skin.  Most lotions are so full of junk that I know exactly what I'm putting on my skin and thereby into my body if it is organic extra virgin olive oil.  Between that and the skin brushing, my skin looks and feels great!
• I use essential oils to scent the home instead of using artificial perfumes.  A recent trip into Bath and Body Works was so overwhelmingly stinky to me that I almost had to leave.  I used to LOVE that place!   

I think that about sums it up.  If I come up with anything else I will add it here.  I would love to hear about any unusual things you do to get or keep you or your family healthy.  Please share!
