Miso soup is very good for helping people overcome sugar addiction because salt (in the miso paste) is energetically the opposite of sugar. The secret to this recipe is the almond butter and ginger. You’ll always get excellent flavor when you use the ginger/almond butter/miso paste combination. Rotate different veggies and beans in each preparation for variety.
So, what is Kale Slaw anyway? Obviously, the key ingredient in kale slaw is Kale—organic, fresh and raw. There are many different types of Kale, and the flavors of each type can vary with the season. Try different types as the seasons change. Other ingredients that tend to get tossed into the mix are grated carrots, toasted cashews, scallions, red cabbage, mung, sunflower or lentil sprouts, toasted sunflower seeds, marinated tofu, and a plethora of other veggies, seeds, and nuts, only limited by our imagination or pantry stock.
Home-prepared foods including homemade dog food for our animal companions, ideally with organic ingredients that were locally produced, are important because you then know what your animal is being fed if a food-related health problem such as an allergy to a particular ingredient or digestive upset were to arise. Most processed commercial pet foods contain all kinds of human food-industry by-products and ingredients considered unfit/unsafe for human consumption.
Blood tonics, also known as Spring Tonics or Spring Herbal Tonics are historically used for cancer prevention/treatment, liver health/detoxification and for viral and bacterial infections. With the attacks on Natural Medicine it can be hard to find an Herbalist who can make up blood tonics for their clients. Herbalists can be hard to locate, especially those who specialize in the more controversial treatments because they do not advertise those services since it is against the law in the USA for any health care practitioner to claim they can heal some of these cases. Of course it’s your constitutional right to heal yourself and prescribe for yourself so finding blood tonic recipes and using them is not against the law for the general public.
From a client about the Cold and Flu Drink: “I wanted to say a big THANK YOU for your cold and flu recipe you have in one of your old newsletters! I use it faithfully for myself at the first sign or feeling of sickness. About 98% of the time, it works – usually after taking it only the one time! It’s amazing! I call it CKO (like a TKO in boxing!) which stands for Cold Knock-Out because it TOTALLY knocks out a cold, I tell ya!”
I got this Chinese Cabbage Salad from the neighbor across the street. She brought me a salad sampler one day and I asked her for her recipes. This one could be zone-balanced. It’s a great crowd pleaser and can be used as a complete meal.
