Wild fruits usually have a more intense flavour than their cultivated counterparts, much more yummy!
They are less likely to be contaminated with pesticides. And, freshly picked, you get the full benefit of all their nutrition. Here are the wild plums I picked from the woods near our house. I’ll soon be on the lookout for blackberries, elderberries and rose hips.

I was wary of adding beet stalks and leaves to my smoothies, thinking they would make it bitter. Not so, it came out a beautiful pink colour and delicious!
Blend: 1 peeled orange, 1 inch slice fresh pineapple, 1 banana, 1 apple, handful of beet tops (stalks and leaves). Add some water if you prefer a drinkable smoothie. Vary the ingredients to match what you have available.
Enjoy! (more…)
It’s one thing to know that an alkaline body is healthy, and quite another to actually move your body up the pH scale from acid to alkaline.

Summertime in Scotland draws the potential hazards of bites and sunburn.
For me midge bites (like a mild form of mosquito bite) quickly disappear, but cleg, or horse fly bites, swell up and itch for a week or more. (more…)
While many people want to move down their ‘weight scales’, there’s one scale your body really wants to move up.
When you’re low on this scale your body cells are depleted and struggle to operate, so dis-ease can easily set in.When you’re high on this scale your cells are enriched, they operate at peak condition, and you health is good. (more…)
If your energy is flowing the wrong way, it’s moving backwards while you’re trying to move forwards! No wonder it’s difficult to heal.
Fortunately there’s an easy way to ensure your energy flows the right way.
Use your finger tips, or loosely curled fists, to tap or rub your K27 points. They are located slightly below the notch at the inner end of your collarbone, as shown in the photo.

Don’t throw out your tired greens – all they need is a drink! Submerge your lettuce, rocket or other leaves in a bowl of cold water, forget about them for a few hours, then be ready for a surprise!
This also works for whole brocolli, cabbage, celery, lettuce etc. For best results first trim off the dried end of the stump, so the water can get in.
Enjoy!

After an energy healing session you experienced a greater sense of well-being, and hopefully some amelioration of your symptoms.

Avocado stones (pits) are extremely high in insoluble fibre, which binds to excess cholesterol, and there is more anti-oxidant in the stone than the rest of the avocado!
The avocado stone is surprisingly soft – simply cut through the whole avocado, and the knife goes through the stone. Safer than trying to cut a slippery stone.
I’ve tried the stone grated in salad – it’s OK if you like a bitter taste. The best way is to add half an avocado stone to your green smoothie.
