By Sweet Basil
Growing up my parents always told me that fevers are good. Our bodies are amazing and can take care of themselves if we just let them. This advice has always been in my head and I picture those sick, ugly germs being fried by the higher body temperature. I was also taught that if you bring that temperature down with a fever reducer then the germs will start growing again. What we really need to do is get lots of rest, plenty of fluids, and stay home so we don't give it to anyone else or catch other sicknesses while our immune system is working overtime. That said, I never researched it on my own until today.
My baby has had a fever since yesterday and I fought the feelings to give him medicine but feared the consequences of not doing the right things. Knowledge is Power! I studied and am now very confident in not medicating my baby and I now know the signs to look for to help me make decisions. My parents were right! By studying and staying in tune we will grow personally and our families will be blessed physically and spiritually.

Mission Statement
Just as a woman's individual relationship with her Heavenly Father is unique, so is her personal health journey. Our mission is to provide a varied resource to help ourselves and others more fully live in harmony with the Word of Wisdom and teachings of the Prophets, using our own experiences and understanding of how those teachings apply in our lives. As contributors we agree that bodies were created to be in motion; processed, refined and chemically ridden food should be avoided; alternative medicine should be explored; resources should be accessible so that informed decisions can be made; and that a valiant effort should be extended to create homes of self-sufficiency, self-reliance, and preparedness. With these elements in place, we are more equal to meet life’s challenges, while enjoying the privilege of being women who know that we are daughters of God and who believe that He blesses EVERY effort we make to improve ourselves.
