CELERY-YIN MEDICINE AT ITS BEST

Got high blood pressure? Eat 6 stalks of celery each day and you can kiss it goodbye. Chinesemedicine has used celery to lower blood pressure thousands of years. Itcontains active compounds called pthalides, which can help relax the musclesaround arteries and allow the vessels to dilate. With more space inside thearteries, the blood can flow at a lower pressure. Pthalides also reduce stresshormones and help people to become more yin. Celery is high in organic sodium, butit would take over 30 stalks to more than the RDA of sodium for one day. Inother words, people concerned in getting too much sodium need not worry aboutcelery. The leaves of celery reportedly have been shown to help the endocrine system so eat the leaves in addition to thestalk. Buy organic celery, because it’s one of the highest foods with pesticideresidue that can’t be washed of. (Info from Conquering Any Disease by Jeff Primack)

MUSCADINE GRAPES-LIKE NOTHING ELSE.

Normal grapes area waste of time, but muscadine are oh so fine. Resveratrol in grape skin is thecompound in red wine that everyone knows prevents heart disease. The problem with grapes is that most have lost their potent, mighty seed. This is the seed that God has commanded us to eat inGenesis. Muscadine grapes are seasonal,like pomelo, so buy them whenever you see them. They usually have 3 large seedsin each grape and a skin that is 4 times thicker than regular grapes. It istruly another enigma fruit that is here on this earth for healing. It isexceptionally good for heart disease. An unpublished study Sep 2006 discovered a compound in “grape seed extract” that reduces damage to blood vessels walls by 85% according tofindings presented at a biological conference on oxidative stress in Santa Barbara. Hardening of arteries begins with oxidative stress, leading to inflammation &ultimately damages the arterial walls. Grape seed extract is a potentanti-inflammatory compound, but forget about the extract, blend and get thereal deal! (Info from book Conquering Any Disease by Jeff Primack)

Ginger is a perfect herb for many symptoms of colds and the flu.

Fever: In the beginning stages of a fever when you feel cold and are shivering, a strong ginger tea is a great way to help your body warm up. In herbalism we call this a stimulating diaphoretic.

Congestion: Ginger keeps mucous flowing and can break up thick congested mucous in the sinuses and lungs. We call this a stimulating expectorant.

Sore Throat: Ginger is antimicrobial and pain relieving. Taken as a tea or as an infused honey it soothes painful sore throats.

Coughs: I recently came down with a cold and I was coughing nonstop especially at night when I laid down to sleep. I found that by sucking on a ginger candy it quelled my cough and relieved my sore throat, and I was soon sleeping peacefully.

Ginger candy can bring welcome relief for colds and the flu or even motion sickness but is also a sweet and spicy treat.

**If you can’t find organic fruits or veggies or if it’s too expensive, make sure to wash them very good and use the Veggie Wash spray.
