5 Great Holistic Health Care Websites

“By reclaiming our heritage as healers, by loving the earth and listening to her teachings, by caring for ourselves with loving compassion, and by using gentle, natural remedies, we create the balance that brings well-being and vitality in all its fullness.” –

Rosemary Gladstar, herbalist, writer, educator

Five great holistic healthcare sites, around the web, that I found helpful in different ways. Whether its finding foods high in vitamin D (and exactly how much) or learning what “reishi” mushrooms are helpful for.  Especially if you are in holistic, healthy lifestyle or alternative medicine approaches to maintaining your health check them out.

1. Great tool to look up a specific vitamin or nutrient.

Nutrition Info:  http://www.whfoods.com/  Founded by the man who started a health food company which he sold after 25 years.  The George Mateljan Foundation, a not-for-profit foundation with no commercial interests or advertising.   what I loved is the tool to look up a vitamin or nutrient, they tell you tons about deficiency etc. then give list of foods with detailed info on best/most of nutrient to least.  Really helpful.  I looked up vitamin K and found out a lot.  Check out their Essential Nutrients page.

2. Ayurvedic Herbs/Oils & Books:

Banyan Botanicals  find out your dosha or ayurvedic type, how to stay healthy with herbs, lifestyle and diet according to your type.  Organic and responsibly sourced herbs, tested for safety and used by many Ayurvedic practitioners and yogi’s.  I’ve used them and find them really helpful.

3.  Women’s Health:
