If you’re here then you might be wondering what this blog is about. Or who is behind it. The Sprouting Fam blog is written by me, John, the father of two wild jungle boys (one is still an infant) and husband to my wonderful wife, Ling.
This blog is a culmination of our interests and journey of trying to lead a more natural lifestyle within this increasingly-plastic and nano-chemical’d world. We hope to provide something helpful or useful for you (as well as for us!).
Blog categories include healthy recipes, gardening and natural farming, natural home and non-toxic living topics, herbalism, home remedies and more.
I don’t use AI content and I can only do so much screen time per day (anterior uveitis), so posts don’t come out so often at the moment. I’m working on getting faster since I there are so many great topics to go over, but also now know about the need for balance in everything, including time spent hunched or even standing for hours over a computer.
We also share about Herbalism and what we learn from growing and using herbs and plants as food and medicine.
Ling uses herbs for ailments as do most in Thailand due to the prominence of their herbalism called Traditional Thai Medicine (TTM). Herbalists and researchers in the West haven’t tapped nearly as deep into TTM as we have other Eastern traditional medical systems.
So we hope to continue to publish about this as we put it into practice. Ling studied TTM under a master at IDI (herbalism school and place where you will receive the best medical massage in Thailand) in Chiang Mai.
I’ve completed one Western Herbalism course through My Herbal Academy, and have been really drilling the information in with practice and study before sharing about it here on the blog.
After a couple years now of almost daily preparations of some type of infusion, decoction, tincture or personal care product, we’re starting to share our top herbal remedies and recipes now here on the Sprouting Fam blog.
In time we hope to make Sprouting Fam a helpful resource for others who enjoy learning how to grow food, cook healthy easy recipes and how to make and use herbal and home remedies.
Give us a follow on the Tok! Instagram I think has me permanently shadow-banned for posting about fake clouds or other things, but on TikTok it’s just day to day stuff we encounter.
Thanks for coming by!
