Last chance to sign up for the online fasting weekend starting next Friday! Learn more at

Fasting Weekend - Steiner Health A simple fast can reset the mind, body, and immune system and leave you feeling more energetic and better prepared to fend off illness.

Happy New Year, and happy Friday! Do you have any resolutions that involve a reset or building better habits? Friday, January 26th is the start of our first online fasting session, complete with a structured guidance including movement, creative drawing, focused time outdoors, and discussions on nutrition.

Why is fasting beneficial for us? Probably the most important reason is that the body uses quite a bit of energy to digest food, and when fasting this energy becomes available for other uses. In the fasting state, the body will scour for dead cells, damaged tissues, fatty deposits, tumors, abscesses, all of which are burned for fuel or expelled as waste. The elimination of these obstructions restores the immune system functionality and metabolic process to an optimum state.

What better way to end your first month of the New Year ✨

We use yarrow compresses at our Life Force Intensive Retreats to strengthen all livers! Next session begins in 2 weeks. Steinerhealth.org

COMMON YARROW: (Achillea millefolium). At first glance a person would think that Yarrow is another of those members of the carrot family with white flat-topped flower clusters. This plant, however, is actually a member of the Aster Family. There is some debate about the native status of this species. It is certainly found in Eurasia, but some North American plants are diploid and some polyploid in chromosome number, suggesting, suggesting hybridization, perhaps with a native variety. The USDA hedges its bets and calls it both native and introduced. The Eurasian variety has been introduced to other areas, including Australia and New Zealand.

Yarrow has soft aromatic fern-like leaves that alternate on erect hairy stems. The plant has a flat-topped flower cluster that is made up of small ¼-inch long individual composite flowers. Each of these tiny white flowers has 15-40 disc flowers and usually five ray flowers that look like petals. Because of the small number of ray flowers, each flower head gives the impression of being a single 5-petal flower. The 2 to 3 foot tall stem is branchless except near the top.

This species blooms from June to September (earlier in the South) and can be found in fields, along roadsides and in other disturbed areas. There is also a pink-flowered variety that is less common outside of gardens. Although there are some commercial varieties that are good garden plants, most of the wild plants are too w**dy for this purpose. In places, Yarrow can be an invasive w**d.

Yarrow is well known in folklore back to ancient times and has long been used in herbal medicine. It was used to both stop or to promote bleeding, depending on how it was used. The Greek hero Achilles was supposed to have carried it in battle to stop the bleeding when his soldiers were wounded. This legend is the source of the genus name for the plant. Soldiers frequently carried it for that purpose until modern medicine was able to provide better substitutes. Recently chemical analysis has shown that the plant does contain a blood-clotting substance. Yarrow was also used to break fevers by inducing perspiration and as a poultice for rashes. The essential oils of Yarrow were used to treat hay fever.

In herbal directories, Yarrow has more listings than almost any other plant. Herbal medicines should be taken cautiously because of possible allergic reactions and the fact that many alleged remedies don’t work. There may, however, be some basis for yarrow having medicinal properties. The flower head contains: Isovaleric Acid, Salicylic Acid, Asparagin, Sterols, Flavoinoids, Bitters, Tannins and Coumarins—all of which are medically active chemicals.

In folklore Yarrow was formerly used in witchcraft to both summon and drive away the devil. It is also associated with love and hanging a sprig of yarrow from a wedding bouquet over the bed was supposed to bring seven years of love. For a single person, placing it under your pillow was to make you dream of your true love. For this reason Yarrow was used to prepare “love potions.” Yarrow is also called: Milfoil, Old Man's Pepper, Nosebleed Plant, Devil's Nettle, Staunchw**d, Sanguinary, Bloodwort, Carpenter’s W**d, Soldier's Woundwort, Thousand-Leaf and Seven Year's Love.

Great information about storing produce.

And... when was the last time anyone gave YOU a therapeutic bath (if ever)?? These are one of the many therapies offered at our health center intensive sessions. During the retreat, our doctors might prescribe you an overwarming bath, an oil dispersion bath, or a bath with a particular substance in it, just to name a few.

OK, our patients need to enter this study!

Take our survey! Participants will be compensated.

Our March Life Force Intensive is in full swing and filled with laughter 😁 Here is Kenan beginning a Eurythmy session with one of our patients.

Will you come and join us for our retreat March 6-18? The one regret our retreat patients have is that they didn't come sooner! Tell your friends about it too.

Have you fasted for more than 2 days before? Could you feel the benefits from it? If you haven't ever fasted this long, do you think you might want to try?
Prolonged fasting (longer than 2 days) induces autophagy, which is a process of cellular rejuvenation. This is one of the many reasons we hold fasting retreats for 3 days! Some people also choose to fast during our 2 week retreat sessions, for 3 or more days. Having a doctor (or 2!) keeping an eye on how your fast is going gives a lot of people that extra boost of courage to go ahead and try it.

Join us April 21-23 for our next fasting session and give your cells a healthy makeover :)
