Nature’s Remedies for Your Tummy
Did you know the minerals we receive from our vegetables and herbs are critical to our digestion? In fact according to John Anderson, “minerals are the very key to life itself. If you stripped all the minerals from your body, you’d have no life.”
For as long as I can remember I have had severe stomach issues. Well, okay, for about 15 years, but it seems like forever. Bloating whether I ate… or didn’t eat….or didn’t eat at the right time. Food, air and water made my tummy hurt. And I put on 15 pounds by eating nothing! Prescription acid reducers mostly helped with the pain, but not the bloating. And I still had to be cautious with my food. Doctors didn’t help, in fact one suggested I have my gallbladder removed to see if that would work!
We are connected to nature from what we grow in our gardens and the nutrition our plants receive from the soil, to how our bodies can or cannot absorb that nutrition and how it can heal us. But our soils have been so depleted from the use of pesticides and other chemicals, that even organic foods do not have the same nutrition as they did when we were growing up.
