“Let food be thy medicine and medicine be thy food.”
OUR KITCHEN MEDICINE section is designed to increase our awareness of the healing power of food, including herbs.
As Hippocrates stated so eloquently: “Let food be thy medicine and medicine be thy food.” Some examples—
- When your head is congested and full of mucous, eat some horseradish root. The horseradish root will cause the sinus cavities to drain. Wasabi will have the same effect.
- Honey is a natural antibiotic.
- When experiencing fear/anxiety eat root vegetables. Foods that grow in the earth are full of the earth element. The earth element is responsible for grounding. When grounded fear retreats.

- I have walked along a quiet shore with lots of seaweed floating out in the water. I have watched this seaweed moving in rhythmic patterns with the groundswell, with the tide. Some were spiraling in one direction and some were spiraling in the other. For a large pattern, see the hurricane, see the potency in the eye of the hurricane, not the destruction around the outside. See the stillness at the center and the spiral movement.Dr. William Garner Sutherland
