HEALING FROM WITHIN

The idea of healing from within is rooted in a holistic approach to medicine. It considers the individual as a whole, addressing not only physical ailments but also nurturing the soul and spirit. True healing occurs when one achieves complete physical and mental well-being, allowing time for spiritual growth.

The ability to attain full recovery, encompassing both the physical and spiritual aspects, lies within the individual. Nature is deeply connected to human spirituality, offering a unique form of healing that is unmatched by anything else. Our bodies respond to nature because it is within this environment that we evolve spiritually. Nature helps us recognize our connection to all living beings and our interdependence. It’s no surprise that a stroll through a garden can be more soothing and calming than listening to music when someone is feeling stressed. Similarly, gazing at beautiful scenery or a flowing waterfall can have a calming effect on frayed nerves, prompting relaxation.

Beyond its role in alleviating physical ailments, nature also enhances an individual’s spiritual well-being. This psychological comfort stems from nature’s healing power. Many hospitals now incorporate natural gardens to aid in the complete recovery of patients, improving their quality of life through both physical and mental health benefits. Healing gardens serve multiple purposes for patient health: they encourage physical activity, create a tranquil atmosphere that promotes calmness, foster social connections among individuals healing together, and provide a space for reflection and personal growth.

In addition to these advantages, gardens can be utilized to cultivate plants and herbs that offer physical benefits to patients. They can also be designed to grow specific flora for medicinal purposes. Natural garden supplements enhance not only physical and mental health but also spiritual well-being. Various supplements are made from all-natural ingredients to promote patient health, while vitamins play a crucial role in supporting both physical and psychological wellness. These vitamins are essential for optimal health and facilitate quicker recovery from illnesses. This is how comprehensive health is achieved for individuals.

Inspired by her work as a Christian business professor and teaching from her pastor, she transformed her vision from God into reality by creating a platform that educates, uplifts, and connects those affected by vitiligo. Vitiligo Bond raises awareness through innovative educational initiatives, including Vitiligo 101 sessions at Emory University with Dr. Holla, community events, social media outreach, partnerships with support groups, and collaborations with public figures and state leaders.

Through dedicated advocacy efforts, Vitiligo Bond—alongside passionate advocate volunteers—has played a key role in spearheading and securing Governor Proclamations in multiple states, officially recognizing Vitiligo Awareness in Colorado, Georgia, Florida, Indiana, Louisiana, Maryland, Massachusetts, Mississippi, New Jersey, North Carolina, South Carolina, and West Virginia... The organization has helped start up support groups and nonprofits nationally and internationally. In addition, well known business brands have consulted and used models from the organization to represent their products and to help destigmatize vitiligo. Additionally, the organization has been recognized by Congressman Hank Johnson, who supported efforts to gain national recognition for vitiligo awareness. This advocacy contributed to President Barack Obama acknowledging Vitiligo Awareness during the month of June. Currently, further legislative efforts have been initiated to address bullying. Natasha believes that everyone is created with a purpose and deserves to live a full, vibrant life. “We all have the ability to shine.” Vitiligo Bond remains committed to raising awareness, destigmatizing vitiligo, advocating for youth who experience bullying, and supporting men and women struggling with self-acceptance.
