Healing Foods

“Let food be your medicine and medicine be your food”  Hippocrates

For some time now my friends and I have been following our visions and intuition on foods which heal and boost our energy.

Recently I felt to make a spicy, raw chilli and garlic oil that we use daily in our food. It’s full of kick, red chillies are loaded with vitamins, magesium and iron and they trigger the release of feel good endorphins – so Indian takeaway is often on the menu as well.

Garlic is a wonder food, it lowers cholesterol, reduces the risk of heart disease, fights infection and boosts immunity.

Every evening for a while, I felt drawn to eat the beautiful Pomegranate fruit, my friend calls it ‘A Cup Full of Rubies’, it is associated with Persephone daughter of the Greek God Zeus and is an ancient symbol of prosperity and plenty.

I discovered that it is indeed a jewel of a fruit, rich in Vitamin C, packed with anti oxidants, (which are anti-aging, always a bonus tee hee) it heals anemia and is used widely in Ayurvedic medicine.
