Greetings to all from the depths of the cave in which I have been hiding over the last forever since last posting. Life has been all sorts of bizarre globally and individually. I have plenty more to say on that, but I will save that for another time and place. For now, I'd like to focus on the #NaturalMedicine community challenge: Let's Get to Know Each Other The idea behind this challenge explains itself fairly well - each participant is to choose FIVE (5) of the listed 31 questions presented to the community about your individual healing path. These questions vary quite widely and many of them might be something you'd like to answer so feel free to answer as many of them as you'd like, five is simply the minimum for entry. There is a minor entry fee of 100 LOTUS for each entry. If you don't have any LOTUS, Check out this article to learn how to purchase LOTUS. If you can't afford to purchase any, just let me know and I'll gladly sponsor your entry. Also, be certain to post a link to your entry with proof of your burn as a comment on the @naturalmedicine post here

What is a systems approach to exercise science...?The field of exercise science uses what is known as a systems approach in their methods of research and study. A systems approach to exercise science is an important, integral way of looking at each of the body’s individual systems and how they work together and how exercise acts on these different systems. Exercise science maintains the idea that the body is a whole system and that the individual systems are what act in unison (in those with good health) to develop the overall human system and that different forms of exercise can alter the function of these systems.

Every day is a new day and I am grateful to be alive. I haven't posted much these past few weeks because I have been spending a lot of time on my PC with classes being online. I have been doing many discussion forums for my classes which has left me burnt out with typing so I haven't created anything I'd like to post. However, I decided to set aside some time to create a post to show my gratitude for a very special person here on the Hive blockchain. This person has been a major influence in my life since we met, and I'd like to take a moment to let them know how I feel and to give my thanks.

The human body is phenomenally resilient while simultaneously remaining incredibly fragile.Each person’s body is unique to themselves making it important to also understand how different diseases and injuries might affect a person’s ability to function in exercise and how to overcome any limitations. Exercise science is a field of study made of several focused areas of research which collectively attempts to provide empirical evidence for developing healthy, safe, and beneficial exercise.

The world, and the universe at large, are full of repeating patterns known as fractals.As we watch a hostile virus invade the world at large (Macro), we at the same time are dealing with a hostile invader here in the crypto world (Micro). *A virus is an organism which will manipulate its host's DNA in order to produce an environment more suitable for its own survival regardless of how it ultimately affects its host. Many viruses can alter a host's body so significantly that the hosts ultimately perishes from the infection.*¹ The hostile invader voted in their own sock-puppets to alter the code of the chain, removed support to essential community services, and began censoring accounts which spoke out against the invader's goals. This pandemic sent fear, uncertainty, and doubt across the chain.

AbstractLicorice root is an extremely versatile herb used both in traditional and modern medicinal applications. It is a member of the Leguminosae/Fabaceae family with two common varieties viz. Chinese licorice (Glycyrrhiza glabra) and American licorice (Glycyrrhiza uralensis), with the former being the most predominantly available. The dried roots of licorice contain many triterpenoids and hundreds of flavonoids working synergistically to support the medicinal qualities of this herb. Medicinal applications include use as an anti-inflammatory, anti-bacterial, anti-fungal, anti-diabetic, antiviral, anti-ulcer, antitussive, anti-oxidant, skin whitening, anti-diuretic agent. This article is a review of various available literature regarding traditional and modern applications of Glycyrrhiza spp.
