This week has been extremely stressful for me...

Due to a new cattle disease in New Zealand, it looks like I have lost my ONLY source of income for the year.
It came as quite a shock and I am pretty upset by the whole situation.

But... I have to look for other opportunities I have to find something else to do ....

Over the last few months I have been experimenting with healing balms made with natural herbs and Hemp Oil. I have also been making other products like Lip Balm, Soaps, Body Butters, and other natural balms.
I've spent a lot of time researching the best oils to use and which plants have the best properties and combinations for the products I want to make.

Plantain is an amazing plant it has anti-microbial properties, anti-inflammatory, analgesic, astringents which cleanse, and it contains Allantoin, which helps the skin to regenerate, Vitamin A and B1.

Comfrey is equally amazing and also contains Allantoin. Comfrey can heal bruises, pulled muscles and ligaments help with rashes and helps to reconstruct torn muscles. Its other name in Knitbone.

Hemp Oil... Well I can't possibly list all the good things about it... But I will name a few...
It regenerates and energizes the skin, treats and prevents psoriasis and a whole range of other things if you want to consume it..

So by combining this three things, it gives me a balm that covers pretty much all minor injuries and should be in every households bathroom cupboard.

I chose to do this with the idea of starting a small business in my slow season after the calves are all reared and off eating grass.

Another Opportunity

I met @creatr when I first started on Steemit. He came to visit my page and commented on some of my poetry and encouraged me to keep going. I have really appreciated his comments and support over the last few months.

When he saw that I was having trouble he offered my a new opportunity...

He has offered to gift me a device to make Colloidal Silver..

Colloidal Silver was very new to me so google became my friend again to see what I could find out. It turns out that Colloidal Silver could compliment the things I am already making perfectly. It has many excellent properties it is anti-bacterial and anti-viral. You can use it by itself or combine it with other things to make products such as hand sanitisers,
mouth washes, lip balms and HEALING BALMS...... This could be the very OPPORTUNITY I need to enhance my products and start a new venture.

I want to thank @creatr from the bottom of my heart for such amazing generosity and extending a helping hand when I need it the most.

I hope some day that I can repay you....
