When Diet is Wrong, Medicine is of No Use; When Diet is Correct Medicine is of No Need.

This old Ayurvedic proverb got me thinking today. How is it that we have gotten so far from our food, that even our medicine has too. Synthetic medicine, synthetic food, it plagues us in ways we don't see or taste. We have allowed our purchasing power to guide this, in an unintentional yet intentional way. Its very unfortunate, for us, and for our food as well. But its no doomsday, we can recover, we can change. And when we decide to make that change to eating in more healthful ways, we can often see results immediately. I love that about our bodies, we have the capacity to be amazing healers right inside of us. We do not need to seek help from without, our bodies have evolved for thousands of years to assist us in healing our ailments, food as evolved much in the same way to benefit us in that process.

So celebrate your body and the food we have all around us. I am going to make a Wild Clover Salad today and enjoy the benefits of this common 'weed' that is crazy tasty and super good for you!
