Natural Medicine

Let me introduce myself

Hello everyone! Nice to meet you all!

My name is Leonor (people always call me Leo) and I live in Lisbon, Portugal, although I am a solo traveler and take any chance I get to explore the world in the most sustainable way possible.

At home, you can often find me reading books, creating herbal teas, writing novels or expressing myself through art.

I have a deep bound with nature and all animals. I respect all forms of life and, even though I like humans, my best friend in the world is a 2 year old rescue Maine Coon cat named Matthew Clawley (pictured).

I've got an interest in natural medicine a few years ago through Fantasy Books. Since I am chronically ill (Stage 3 Endometriosis, Adenomyosis and PCOS), I've also found interest in finding ways to cope with pain and illness that didn't involve typical pharmaceutical medicine.

What more can I say...

For almost 3 years I've been doing Medicinal Herbalism workshops with a professional Herbalist. I'm learning so much and putting everything in practice every day.

I hope you will like my future posts. Can't wait to contribute!

Love,

Leonor

Welcome to steemit Leonor! Hopefully you make many friends here.

Main Coons are the best, I used to have one all white just yours. Sorry to hear about your illness, clearly you have found a way to naturally manage it. Nature is the best medicine. Have a great week-end!

Leo and Matthew! Greetings! OMG! That kitty is HUGE! I love him! What a cuddlebuddy! I really think you'll like it here in Steemland. There is a LOT of awesome fiction and TONS of articles on all things under the sun. Quite nice for just learning about stuff and things. I'm so sorry to hear about your illness. Lots of folks around here may be in a similar boat and find comfort in our community.

Welcome @herbalist-fox! You, Leo and your beautiful cat! Glad you found the Natural Medicine community and I'm looking forward to your future post with your Medicinal Herbalism and I'm sure many other interesting subjects!

Welcome to Steem! You have taken the first step in achieving many goals here at the crossroads of cryptocurrencies, blockchain, and social media. Consistent engagement is needed to progress and grow your following and influence. I am currently working on a weekly post to curate new users and providing them an introduction to the ecosystem. I have selected your post as one I will feature in an upcoming post! In addition, I have published a post that provides great references to assist you in your journey. Feel free to contact me if you have any questions or feedback!

Leonor, we're so blessed to have you with us! Thanks for using NMio for your intro post too, yours may be the first one!

I'm glad you made your post on my week to curate, as I love welcoming folks to steem. It's been a while since I did any welcoming (or much of any steeming at all for that matter)!

Of course, you know our discord server, where there's always someone to help with questions. Something that helped me when I was just getting started with steem was contest participation. Whether I won or not, getting involved always helped get my name out, get attention on my feed, and get support. Regular posts also help a lot. Every few days, once a week, etc. will help keep your name fresh on folks' feeds. Hands down the best thing to do though, is comment on other posts. Get out and engage with like minded folks all over, there's a lot on this blockchain! If natural medicines aren't the only things you're interested in, there's other awesome steem interfaces like steempeak that you can use to look around!

We look forward to whatever you've got to share. Welcome aboard 💚

Welcome to Steem! That is one giant cat! :)
@kaminchan(76)· 2400d
What a beautiful cat you have there!

Good luck and enjoy yourself!

All the best.

Hey, Leonor, and a warm welcome from another Portuguese Steemian! 🇵🇹 (Although I've been following Steem's growth for more than a year, I actually made my first post only yesterday.)

I too do what I can to avoid pharmaceutical medicine as much as possible, through healthy lifestyle choices and growth mindset practices. 🌱

By the way, your user name reminded me of something: did you know that, in Japanese folklore, foxes ("kitsune") serve as messengers for Inari, the Shinto spirit ("kami") for rice, tea, agriculture, fertility, and prosperity, among other things? 🍵🎌

Wishing you all the best in life, and much success on Steem! Romeu

PS: Is it me or is that one huge cat? 😸

Welcome! I’m also new here on Steemit but I already feel so inspired being here. I hope you’ll do too 🙏
@mariacaffrey(59)· 2400d
Welcome to Steemit! I really hope you have a good time and enjoy your experience here 💖 say hi to little Matthew for me!🌈 I love cats 🥺
@jamerussell(63)· 2400d
Welcome to the Steemit community Leonor @herbalist-fox! We hope you and Matthew Clawley are very happy here, and we sincerely hope you find everything you are looking for and have found a new home here.

Eight suggestions to consider: 1. Guard your passwords carefully, and only publish with the posting key, 2. Use your active key only for wallet transactions, keychain and steemconnect, 3. The master password is only used to reset compromised passwords, 4. DO NOT lose your passwords; copy and store offline, 5. Do not publish other people's work, be it photos or written, without credit, and be sure to source all of your work, even if it is your own. 6. An introduceyourself tag is used only once , and 7. When you open your steemit.com, in the upper right corner of the page there are 3 bars. Click on those, and then on the "welcome", and you will get a lot of reading material that will help you. 8. Do NOT open any links in memos or comments that you do not know who they belong to. If it sounds too good to be true it probably is, so the old saying goes. There is nothing free here.

I found you because @xcountytravelers and @brittandjosie from @heyhaveyamet presented and promoted your publication to get more exposure and help you grow faster.

If you find yourself overwhelmed and need some guidance, or if you have any questions, there are informed Steemians available who can help you; you can click to go to the Steem Terminal in Discord here:

Have fun and happy Steeming!

Wiehoe! Nice to have onboarded a fellow writer, living in Portugal, who I haven't even met in real life, although it feels like it :>)

Welcome, once again! Nice to have you as a fresh addition to the natural medicine community. Can't wait to hear more from you and to learn from and inspire each other. I wish Steemit and your blogging will lead to another step in your healing process ( as has been the case with many of us ).
