As you all know, I’m very interested in nature and the wonders of healing of natural plants.
One of the super plants, or roots, I should say, is ginger. This website goes over the phenomenol benefits of ginger. I knew of its anti-nausea benefits, but was amazed at all the other benefits such as cancer fighter. And that it has a balancing effect–in the gut, it encourages the good bacteria and destroys the bad bacteria. Amazing, isn’t it? More here.
Another superfood is the poor, misunderstood Dandelion. Yes, that yellow flower that homeowners try their best to eradicate has many benefits–one of which is a great detoxe and is loaded with natural Vitamin C. (a side note~ I’ve read in several different sources that synthetic Vitamin C is not good for us. I’ve since stopped taking the synthetic form and now only get my Vitamin C from natural sources. A head’s up: dandelion does irritate the liver, according to Dr. Cutler. But is great for the kidneys.
It think that when it’s all said and done, the world will discover that the plants we regarded as “weeds” were the magical plants that cured cancer, diabetes, heart disease, etc. It is a great irony that we are pouring chemical herbicides on these plants that offer great health benefits. We poison the Earth and kill the very thing that might just save us.
