winter newsletter

Winter is almost here and it is time to consider the changes needed in our eating.  Winter according to the Chinese FIVE elements theories, is related to water. This relates to the kidney and bladder. Water is the essential media of your body through which all things pass. It is part of the lymphatic flow, helps eliminate waste, fight of infection, and facilitates the flow of saliva, perspiration, tears and sexual fluids.

The kidneys filter the blood and keep the blood and keep the body clean and in balance. They filter several thousand of quarts of blood daily. Extracting and keeping the balance of minerals, salts, acids, and wastes. The health of the kidney can be seen in the glow of the skin hair and eyes.

The vitality of all body fluids is maintained by the kidney and bladder.

“The groins and the bladder are like magistrates of a region or district; they store the overflow and the fluid secretions, which serve to regulate vaporisation.” NEI CHING

HERBS AND FOODS that are recommended for the kidneys and bladder

COUCH RHIZOME

An excellent demulcent – soothes the tissues – no known contra-indications

PARSLEY 

A mild diuretic and demulcent - not recommended during Pregnancy or when inflammation of the Kidneys is present.

CELERY SEED

DANDELION LEAF & ROOT

JUNIPER BERRY

BUCHU

At this time of the year it is also wise to increase your nutrition whether it be by eating good organic food or by taking supplements. As the winter flu approaches it is also recommended to increase your intake of herbs and foods, which support and strengthen the immune system. Garlic is one of those. Onion is another.

Ginger also. Of course the hot lemon and honey is highly recommended.

Apple Cider Vinegar 20ml daily we take it by holding the breath and throwing it straight back without breathing followed by Orange Juice.  If you have a good organic brand the taste is much smoother.  If it makes you gag it has found bug patches on the back of the throat and sinuses, this will pass after a few days.  A.C.V neutralizes the internal Ph of the body.  Remember bugs like to live in an acid environment which is low in oxygen.  Normal human internal Ph is not the best environment for bugs.
