Everyone knows that it's good to eat a lot of fresh vegetables, and fruits. It's also good to know about the healing power of fresh herbs so that you can incorporate them into your diet too.This post is a "two-parter" - part about the healing power of fresh herb and the real deal about the "regular" fresh produce at your local U.S. grocery store.
These 12 fresh herbs and their healing powers are as important to know about as it is to know about the great risk of eating non-organic, unapproved USDA chemically treated fruits and vegetables that are stocked in every grocery store in America. These days it sadly really is "Eat At Your Own Risk", as everything we're buying that is not marked "Organic" is treated with poison or chemicals. "Frankenfoods" (non-organic, GMO: Genetically Modified Organism foods) are something I go way out of my way to avoid, which is highly important when you eat organic, almost all raw foods.
I strongly suggest that you to consider this the next time you shop at the grocery store for healthy food to feed yourself and your family...- When you were little, were the fruits and vegetables your mom bought at the grocery store perfectly shaped and so beautiful they didn't look real?
- When you ate fresh, home garden grown tomatoes, could you taste them?
- Did Diet Coke exist when you were a kid?
- Do you remember cancer being a predominate disease that ran rampant throughout families; breast cancer, prostate cancer, colon cancer, and other types of cancer as well?
- Did women have infertility issues like so many women have today?
Probably not. Now all of that is something to think about, now isn't it? I'm just sayin'... y'know? I mean, you're going to buy what you want to buy - irregardless, as well you should. But all I know is this: I'm accountable for what I know. And, to purposely fail to mention what I found out would be criminal and wrong, because this pertains to the health of you and your family. Okay?
Okay. So, if you didn't understand the some of health risks involved in eating non-organic GMO foods (which is everything in the produce section that is not marked "Organic" at your favorite local grocery store), now you know. So it's up to you to make the right choice for your health and safety, just like I do.
Sadly, food has become dangerous. Because there is something foreign in it that wasn't there before.
The business woman, Robyn O'Brien, you see on the video screen below told people... "Please don't tell me what to eat and don't tell me what to feed my kids", until... something bad happened.
So, the next time you're at the grocery store - this is something to think about and strongly consider. Right?
The Healing Power of 12 Herbs
1.) Basil - makes a delicious addition to just about any dish and has been used even in ice cream, fresh basil is superb used against rheumatic problems and to take away tummy (stomach) pains.
2.) Bay Leaves - often used dried, bay leaves are an herb used in many soup recipes. They add wonderful flavor to Chicken and Dumplings and are great to use externally on bruises and sprains. Who knew that? Right?
3.) Caraway (or Caraway Seeds) - very distinctive in flavor (people usually either really like it or they don't), caraway is a good cold preventative, and helps with throat infections and upset stomachs.
4.) Chamomile - a great soother and delicious tea, chamomile helps to combat and prevent earaches, headaches, and toothaches too.
5.) Chervil - not as widely used, chervil has been thought to act somewhat like a diuretic and lower blood pressure too.
6.) Chives - known to be an appetite enhancing herb. I didn't know that, did you?
7.) Cilantro - commonly known to be used in many Mexican recipes, cilantro is good for your digestion.
8.) Fennel - often used in baked goods, fennel is a natural appetite stimulant.
9.) Lavender - an antidepressant aromatherapy elixir, it helps lower blood pressure.
10.) Lemon Balm - add this to your diet when you feel flu-ish; it aids against nausea, treats fever, and helps with poor digestion too.
11.) Parsley - I've heard this for years, "It helps your breath smell good", and it's true - it does that.
12.) Thyme - an antibacterial and antiseptic expectorant that is good to gargle your throat with.

I do this... I write to help to create to opportunities for all of you to pursue your passion to have parties without regard to economic constraints.
I think if we keep talking about the cost of parties (I blog, you write comments), together, maybe we can break down some of the party industry price barriers and shame some of the people who've taken your money and delivered a poor quality product right into growing a conscious and treating you right (nice thought, isn't it?).
Opportunities to be inspired about parties are everywhere. Yet, people looking out for your wallet are few and far between. My goal is to inspire you, causing you to question the way things are that have been the status quo for too long. When we stand together and speak up, we can be a powerful force.
Let's keep the conversation of change going. Because in the sea of everyone talking, one voice is a whisper... several voices are a scream.
Leave a comment and share your thoughts, ideas and suggestions below. Remember to be as specific as possible because what you have to say helps us all.
Always... be encouraged and encourage others too,
“The greater danger for most of us lies not in setting our aim too high and falling short; but in setting our aim too low, and achieving our mark.” - Michelangelo
