The Meaning Behind Bluestem

Bluestem grass is a prairie grass native to Kansas where I was born and raised and also to Wyoming where I have lived for 23 years. It is known for its deep root system that can reach up to 12 feet deep. This hearty root system helps the grass to grow back after a prairie fire or other damage. This is much like the roots in our bodies. They are deeply embedded and can withstand immense damage from influences both outside and inside our bodies. Once we reach the root causes of symptoms, the damage can be repaired like the bluestem grass after a prairie fire. This means we need to tend to the soil of these roots by healing digestion and thwarting inflammation through nutrition and lifestyle interventions. Then you will be able to resist the prairie fires that come along and thrive the way you were meant to!
