When I was a kid, there were three things that my siblings and I looked forward to each spring: Easter Baskets, puddles and mud. My favorite was mud. Mud pies, mud soup, mud monsters and who can top magical mud that turns monsters into goo and gives you the power to run super fast?
Little did I know then that all that mud actually had healing properties as well! Perfect for bee-stings (it will literally draw out the stinger!), sunburns (It will cool the burn and actually help the skin heal) and facials (It will draw out any impurities and leave the face/body cleansed and radiant!), mud is one of the most useful, available and natural remedies there is.
Not only is it great for healing, but mud is also good at keeping away insects (just ask a Caribou!) and believe it or not, for cleaning! Use mud to get tough goo like auto grease and tar off your hands, then wash as usual.
So this year, reclaim the inner child in you and get out and play in the mud. Scoop out a little for a nice facial while you're at it. You won't regret it.
Until next time,
Be well!
