The cannabis plant was one of the very first plants to be domesticated some eight to ten thousand years ago, and remained one of the world’s most important crops right up until the end of the nineteenth century.

So, take a moment and consider how many benefits you derive from a long, hot, very private, intensely fragrant soak in your tub.

Do not fast-forward to essential bath oil’s undeniable benefits for your skin and hair. Focus first on psyche and spirit, remembering you must match your essential bath oil mix with its function...

The proverbial ‘To-do List’ never seems to get completed in its entirety – EVER! The world is simply busier with everyone on their cell phones, tablets, eating out, and trying to squeeze in time for friends and family.

Adding to this is the upset and concerns many feel over economic uncertainties, the political climate, violence in the community, etc. It is a recipe that takes quite a toll on a person’s mental health. Is it really surprising that more people are turning to unhealthy solutions like drugs and alcohol to help them cope?

Who doesn’t like Soul Food?

The old way of cooking soul food resulted in health problems for many African Americans, like high blood pressure, obesity and diabetes.
