'In the US, the hibiscus plant is most widely known for its beautiful flowers, but this plant actually offers unique health benefits that have been valued around the world since ancient times.

I used to have many of them but replaced them with fruit trees and berries, which are far more easily edible. However, I still enjoy hibiscus tea and regularly consume it from the far more convenient extracts.

When the petals of the hibiscus flower fall off, deeply colored red calyces (cup-like structures) grow into pods that resemble flower buds. These red calyces are used to make hibiscus extract and a brightly colored (and delicious) red hibiscus tea (sometimes called "sour tea").'

Get Inexpensive Omega 3 Protection with Chia Seeds

By | Published Sunday, February 15, 2015

 chia seed


'Omega 3 is one of the essential fatty acids we need in our diets on a daily basis. Essential means we have to obtain that nutrient from outside sources because our bodies don’t manufacture enough. But most Western diets are nutritionally deficient in omega 3 fatty acids.  So the question becomes how to get enough omega 3 without breaking the bank.

Omega 3 from chia seeds contains alpha-linolenic acid (ALA), a fatty acid that is important for brain and nerve tissue, and critical for good heart health. Omega 3 ALA deficiency is associated with degenerative diseases including cancer, and immune dysfunction.'

Plant Based Radiation Protection: Tulsi

Plant Based Radiation Protection: Tulsi


It's a radioactive world

'Radioactivity is a natural part of our environment and everyone is continually exposed to ionizing radiation from a vast array of natural sources such as the sun and radioactive elements within the earth. However, since Henri Becquerel and Madame Curie first described radioactivity at the turn of last century, humans have continued to concentrate natural radiation sources and use them for medical diagnosis and therapy, food preservation, power generation and the production of nuclear weapons.

Concentrated sources of ionizing radiation are relatively new on earth, yet all living systems have had to deal with low levels of radiation. Thus, many plants contain a range of protective phytochemicals and this protection may be conferred to animals that eat them. Perhaps the most potent plants in this regard are the 'adaptogens' such as tulsi (Ocimum sanctum or holy basil), which confer protection against a wide range of environmental stressors.'
