weekly gardening is morphing into weekly cooking and weekly health....ALL GOOD!
LOL. It’s all good-food is medicine. I finished a book called food remedies, and another on boosting the immune system I have read several times, but can’t seem to find it.
Currently working my way through a book called Healing Spices.
Found that Ajowan has shown as good as Verapamil (Calcium Channel Blocker) to lower blood pressure, and as a bonus it was as effective as low dose morphine for pain. Never heard of it before. Sounds like a good one to make a tincture from in case of SHTF or TEOTWAWKI. Tincture from dried leaves and vodka of at least 40% would probably last 10 years.
Almonds was the main thing I know for sure I started eating more of this past month. Eating Almond Butter instead of peanut butter every day. Almonds have been proved to be very helpful for many things, including lowering the bad cholesterol, raising the good, lowering the triglycerides, and helping to keep blood sugar stable.
I also went back to eating a little sorghum molasses. My favorite snack as a kid was homemade bread, homemade butter, and sorghum molasses with a big glass of whole raw milk. I notice that it has more nutrition than honey. I don’t really add sugar or anything to tea, lemonade etc.
I do use honey with orange spiced tea for sore throat, and drink small amount of cola or ginger ail for nausea. A spoon full of molasses is a big treat at the end of the day, if I have the carbs left to do it.
