The secret of the seed...

As we reach the end of 2020, I hope to reflect honestly on the outcomes of this year. I think about Rhonda Byrnes’ book The Secret which explores the concept of the law of attraction. The law of attraction ideally is the secret to reaching our true desires! We attract into our lives what we speak out into the universe. I ponder on this and attracting better health. So here I am, taking a premature New Years’ resolution to attract better health by eating these delicious seeds... 

Fun Fact: Seeds can provide you with high antioxidants, zinc, healthy fats and magnesium. They provide us and our beautiful birds of South Africa with food on a daily basis, and can aid against some cancers.

Some seeds fall from trees as a result of their heavy exoskeletons, while some featherlight seeds are dispersed in the wind.

There are dangerous seeds that can kill too. One such seed is of a Castor-oil plant. A castor bean can poison an adult human by releasing a substance known as ricin. A shocking discovery for someone who loves castor-oil plant based products such as myself!

Thinking about seeds in relation to how we look at life, I am reminded of the known saying: “We reap what we sow”. Which serves as a constant reminder that we sow the results that we attract, we can also sow the dangers that await us in the future. What seeds will you be planting to lead you to your desired future in this next chapter of your journey?

Also, what kind of seeds do you think these are? Share your thoughts in the comments!

How do you manage your medicines?

            Have you ever imagined using spices to relieve toothache and nausea, or to prevent diabetes and inflammatory diseases?

      Better know that there are spices that not only add flavour to foods but also function as powerful allies in preventive medicine.

      Let’s check some examples:

      Turmeric is native to China. It has a ginger-pepper flavour. Widely used in Indian cuisine and traditional Chinese medicine, it is extensively known for its healing properties due to the high content of curcumin. It is considered a powerful antioxidant and a natural antibiotic that boosts the immune system and promises to protect against cancer.  Try using turmeric to season chickens, rice, salads and soups. Or even for tea.

      Cinnamon is one of the most popular spices in the world. In addition to its fragrance and flavour, cinnamon has nutritional properties. Rich in antioxidants, it helps to control blood sugar levels. Its anti-inflammatory properties help to treat digestive problems, in addition to increasing metabolism.  Try adding cinnamon to fruit salads, yogurts, baked apples and sweet pies.

      Cloves are a spice with a strong taste and smell. Known for their antioxidant action, they have been used for centuries as a natural remedy in oriental medicine. It helps digestion, eliminates intestinal parasites and can be used as an analgesic for toothache. It gives a special flavour when added to desserts, purees and in teas.

      Widely used in Asian cuisine, ginger has a spicy and slightly sweet flavour. Well known for treating diseases such as nausea and stomach pain. With antioxidant properties, it promises to fight muscle pain, infections and prevent colon diseases.  How about adding in chutneys, marinades, cookies and mixing with tea?

      Used as a flavouring in cooking, garlic has been used for its medicinal properties since ancient history.  Well known for its ability to treat heart and blood problems, such as cholesterol, heart attack prevention and hypertension. Currently,   it has also been used for the treatment of various types of cancer.  Research indicates that eating raw garlic, at least twice a week, reduces the risk of developing lung cancer by 44% (Newman, 2013).  We suggest seasoning the oil with garlic and using garlic in the stews.

      In fact, we do not suggest you treat severe diseases switching drugs into herbal remedies with medicinal actions. We know that there are serious diseases and that in advanced stages they need tested drugs with efficient results. Plants should not replace these drugs with the risk that the symptoms worsen and lead to death. What we propose is that these plants are used in daily life spicing foods or while having some tea, in order to have preventive action.  

      Everyone has experienced at least once in their life, some kind of tea, for example, to calm symptoms of a cold or to speed up digestion. Here at home, it is common to drink garlic, lemon and honey tea to calm the initial symptoms of a sore throat, or unsweetened lemon juice to reduce the symptoms of nausea. We also have the habit of using cinnamon in sweets, which besides being delicious, promises to improve blood sugar levels. In theory, if it doesn't hurt, why we should not try?

      So, better spice your life with some household medicines in order to avoid diseases that requires drug treatment.  Isn’t it?

     Tell us, what are the spices you most use in your kitchen?  Do they have medicinal properties?

♉

Taurus is connected to the Hierophant card in the Tarot. Its all about traditions and being grounded. Also shown is a bit of tiger’s eye crystal. A stone corresponding with Taurus.

🌾

Next we see two of the ingredients in these bath salts, vanilla bean and cardamom seeds. Vanilla is associated with the planet Venus which rules Taurus. Vanilla is a sensual scent. Cardamom is more directly associated with Taurus itself. Both have earthy scents.

💎

Then there are rose buds. Rose is another plant associated with Taurus. It being the birth flower of the Taurus. It adds that beauty element to this bath soak. Patchouli is associated with the element of earth and it adds a grounding influence to this bath. As does the crystal Malachite shown.
