Eat From the Ground

"Every plant is a medicine- no exceptions."

Mike Adams

I agree. In case you didn't know it, scientists get the compounds that make up pharmaceutical drugs from plants.

I push eating vegetables because they contain so many nutrients that we need.

Mike Adams' statement is also referring to the rule "eat the colors of the rainbow ".

Plants that have red, blue, yellow, purple, or orange fruits are medicinal. Meaning the compounds that give them their color are the compounds that will heal our bodies.

What you may not realize though, is that many other plants are considered "weeds" to people, but they have healing compounds also. Plants like dandelion, nettles, plantain, mellows, parsley, lemon balm, and dozens more are sprouting out in the wild, sent by Providence for our medicinal use.

I daresay if we were eating more of these plants, we would never need the drugs that come from pharmaceuticals.

P.S.

One day I hope to have only edible plants and flowers on my property.

     I've made a good start.

Marigolds, roses, mallows, echinacea, (coneflowers), are growing and I've started lavender and salvia. I have prickly pear. All are edible. It's just so much fun to go out in the field or in the yard and just pick something and eat it! 

     I've got my 2 year old granddaughter following me. When I eat my rose petals, she says, I need one too!

Doesn't it make you feel more cheerful and healthy just seeing all that color? .

Until next time...

Enjoy God's providence!
