Healing soup recipe: Carrot, coconut, ginger soup

Made this delish soup last night as it was cold and I had a tinge of a sore throat. Kicked it out and warmed me up!

Recipe (all organic ingredients, some from our farm)

5 Large carrots sliced

5 cherry tomatos

A handful of Macadamia nuts

1 large finger of ginger

1 medium finger of tumeric

1/2 squeezed lemon

1 tsp lemon zest

3 pieces of garlic

2 Tbsp coconut oil

1 qt chicken broth

Pinch of salt

3 pinches of black pepper

Place all ingredients in vitamix blender and blend for 3-5 minutes or until it is warm.

Here it is garnished with sour cream and basil.

If you have nasal congestion and chills, garnish with chopped green onion instead.

Enjoy!

Reflexology- Auravedic Foot Massage

There are several theories as to how reflexology works to reduce pain and how it can target different areas of the body, including specific organs. They all confirm that reducing stress has a large cognitive effect on the brain and simultaneously releases tension.  

​

It's said Reflexology originated in ancient Egyptian times but was adopted in Asia and  India finally making it to the west. Long ago, it was tradition when a visitor arrived in an Indian home, it was customary to draw a foot bath and massage their feet using Reflexology techniques. Stimulating the different points on the feet not only relax organs but move blood and Qi (the body's life force energy explained in more detail under the 'Breath and Movement' page on this website). Much of the tension and pain found in the body is due to stagnation (sluggish movement) of blood and Qi. When there is lack of flow, it can create excess or deficiencies in the bodies organs. Reflexology points on the hands and feet correspond in a mirror effect to different organs and body parts. It works as a complimentary whole body medicine treating not only the symptoms but the root cause by stimulating the correct areas.

Auriculo Acupuncture (Ear acupuncture)

Using this same microsystem described in Auriculotherapy, ear acupuncture is extremely specific as the tiny fine tipped needles have the accuracy to stimulate a point that may be extremely tiny. All the same, do not be fooled by the size, as these points can be the strongest analgesics (pain killer acupuncture points) of the entire body. They are commonly used to treat injuries, pain, addictions, PTSD (specifically with Vet's suffering from trauma), anxiety, depression, smoking cessions, headaches and can treat any condition or organ of the body. One of my favorite areas with such a strong influence!
