The plants and their resins to this day are still used for health, healing, calming and rejuvenation purposes. They are provided to us through the essence and magic of nature. Plants and their properties are known to be quite effective whether using them as aromas, elixirs, teas or preparing them for food. As difficult as it seems to have become, establishing or maintaining a healthy diet is critical for the mind/body connection. Know your food. Colorful herbs and spices are nourishing. Nature's food is healing. Local raw honey, oregano, coconut, avocados, walnuts, maple syrup, turmeric, chia and blueberries (the only "blue" food from nature) to name a few contain magical properties.
It all starts with nature's seed. Seeds are precious to our environment. By planting a seed you are giving love and life back to the Earth. Stay pure and true when planting. This is just another way of aligning oneself with nature. Heirloom seeds will help us all. A great family owned company that works with heirloom seed preservation can be found at www.victoryseeds.com.
