Things Your Great-Grandmother Wanted To Teach You (But Never Had The Chance)

The Knowledge We Were Supposed To Inherit

There was once a time when:

• Wellness wasn’t complicated.

• Food wasn’t poisoned.

• Birth wasn’t medicalized.

• Homes weren’t filled with chemicals.

• Women knew how to tend to sickness before it turned into disease.

• Parasites, herbs, and cycles of cleansing were understood.

• Babies were nourished with broths, raw milk, and sunshine.

• The land was both pharmacy and sanctuary.

But then came industry.

Then came synthetic food, medicine, and “convenience.”

And generation by generation, the wisdom slipped through our fingers.

But Your Great-Grandmother Would’ve Taught You:

How to grow comfrey by the garden gate

For bruises, sprains, and wound poultices — not pharmaceuticals.

How to cleanse parasites with pumpkin seeds, wormwood, and castor oil

Because all living things carry biological burdens — and gentle purging was a seasonal rhythm.

How to keep chickens healthy with crushed red pepper, garlic, and diatomaceous earth

Instead of chemical dewormers and antibiotics.

How to wash your face with oil and honey

Because God designed the skin to self-regulate, not be stripped.

How to keep babies safe with bone broth, liver, and nourishing foods

Before formula became normalized.

How to filter drinking water with charcoal and simple sand layers

Long before fluoride and PFAS invaded every faucet.

How to steward fertility naturally with wisdom and observation

Not synthetic hormones.

How to create a home altar of peace, prayer, and protection

Instead of allowing anxiety, chaos, and generational dysfunction to reign.

How to honor rest, Sabbath, and the rhythm of the seasons

Instead of being trapped in endless burnout and striving.

And Perhaps Most Importantly…

She would have taught you:

That your home is your ministry.

That your body is your temple.

That your children are your assignment.

That your wellness is your warfare.

That your husband is your partner, not your opponent.

That your land is holy ground.

“Thus says the Lord: Stand by the roads, and look, and ask for the ancient paths, where the good way is; and walk in it, and find rest for your souls.” — Jeremiah 6:16

The Good News:

The knowledge is not lost forever.

It is being restored.

You are the generation reclaiming it.

This is why Vitality Wellness exists.

To teach what should have been passed down.

To restore what was stolen.

To prepare your household for the generations that will follow.
