Herbal Health boosters!

The top herbal superfoods are:
Astragalus: This herb can really help with digestion. Also helps with the immune system and weight management.
Nettle: Nettle tea is a very good bowel cleanser. In the Spring you can eat young nettle leaves and they are very rich in vitamins and minerals. It is also good for iron, cleaning the blood and as a diurectic for uric acid buildup.
Aloe Vera: Aloe can be helpful for digestive problems such as bloating and gas. Aloe also contains polysaccharides, which are 8 essential sugars that the body needs. These are also called Glyconutrients. This is one of the things we focused on with our son for his recovery from cancer. Aloe contains Mannose, galactose, and arabinose which are some of the essential sugars.
Siberian Ginsing: Great energizing tonic used for thousands of years. Has anti-infection properties and can be good to combat jet lag when traveling.
Echinacea: This herb moves the lymph fluid through your body, similar to the effect of exercise. If you don't exercise everyday that fluid will not move through your body enough. Echinacea should not be taken all the time. Take it for 2-3 weeks and then take a break from it.

As you can see I have started a Juice Feast. I have always wanted to try this, but kept putting it off. Our church is doing prayer and fasting for the next 2 weeks so that gave me just drive I needed to give it a shot. So far so good. I have not really been hungry, just get that feeling like I want to bite into something! I definitely feel nourished and enegized though. We'll see how it goes. I will update as I go along!
