A Recipe for Inflammation

Quote of the month:

“I’ve experienced several different healing methodologies over the years – but none of them will work unless you really want to heal.”               – Lindsay Wagner

Last month we spoke about the third stage of dis-ease – irritation.  This month, seeing as it’s summer, we’ll keep things a little more lighthearted. 

Here’s a great summer recipe for Pad Thai (taken from the book Meals That Heal Inflammation); by the way, it’s also a great recipe for this heat!

Ingredients:
1 medium zucchini
1 large carrot
1 green onion, chopped
1/2 cup shredded purple cabbage
1/2 cup cauliflower florets
1/2 cup radish or mung bean sprouts

Sauce:
2 tbsp tahini
2 tbsp almond butter
1 tbsp lime or lemon juice
2 tbsp tamari (wheat free)
1 tbsp raw honey
1/4 tsp minced garlic
1/2 tsp ginger root, grated

Directions:
Grate carrots and zucchini in order to create noodles.  Place them in a large mixing bowl and top with the vegetables.  Whisk sauce ingredients in a bowl (sauce will be thick).  Pour sauce over noodles and vegetables and toss.

• 1/8 cup (1 shot) of apple cider vinegar daily may help block your body’s production of histamine and it’s cheaper and safer than buying over the counter anti-histamines for allergies.
• Mullein and lobelia are great herbal remedies for asthma type symptoms.
• Allergies are a form of inflammation.
