Daily Drop of Sunshine
Starring ~ Turmeric!
Turmeric ~ Curcuma longa
Turmeric is a powerful antioxidant & anti-inflammatory!
It's well known & used in India in cooking (eat your medicine) & as an
herbal supplement. It consists of various forms of curcumin, 1-alpha
curcumene, 1-beta-curcumene, camphene & camphor. Believed to
inhibit tumor growth at each stage of the cancer process, protects
against heart disease, treatment for respiratory conditions, muscle injuries, arthritis &
stimulates the flow of bile assisting in cleansing the system.
Turmeric is an awesome dye of a rich golden glow, be careful of dying items you may not
want dyed.
The root of this plant or rhizome is the part used, & you may notice that it is much like
the ginger root in which they are a part of the same family.
This herb would be great to add to salad dressings.
It was valued as gold for it's preservation capabilities & played a large role in survival &
sustainability. The natives of India highly valued turmeric not only for preservation but
also for it's energetic & spiritual qualities. A community of people called the Arya
culture, worshiped the solar system & the sun as a deity & held turmeric as very Sacred
due to the golden yellow color (sunlight) & believed turmeric to have special protective
properties. They would wear (& some still do) a dried rhizome around their neck or arm
to ward off evil & grant protection & healing. People of Ancient India believed that
turmeric contained the energy of the Divine Mother, granting prosperity, cleansing the
chakras (energy centers of the body http://www.thymeforwellness.com/chakras--the-3-selfs.html
), & purify the channels of the subtle body. Turmeric is still used in Sacred Ceremonies
today in India. It is made into a paste, applied to the forehead (third eye) during pujas &
weddings, along with numerous other uses.
In Ayurveda (the 5,000 yr old natural healing system of India), turmeric is believed to
balance the 3 doshas as well as an extensive list of healing practices for so many diseases.
This newsletter could get very long if I listed them all. Turmeric has hundreds of
molecular constituents ~ some prominent ones are ~ 20 molecules that are anti-biotic, 14
that are known cancer preventatives, 12 that are anti-tumor, 12 are anti-inflammatory, &
at least 10 different anti-oxidants. The possibilities of this root is endless & to be taken
seriously.
"Curcumin's antioxidant properties will protect your DNA from the ravages of the virus.
It's also antimicrobial, so it will help prevent the many opportunistic illnesses associated
with HIV and AIDS," says Dr. Susan Kowalsky, N.D. (Norwich, VT)
This truly is a powerful plant & the ancient people of India have known so all along.

Turmeric (Curcuma longa) has been used for 4,000 years to treat a variety of
conditions. Studies show that turmeric may help fight infections and some cancers,
reduce inflammation, and treat digestive problems.
There has been a great deal of research on turmeric's anti-cancer properties, but
results are still very early. Evidence from test tube and animal studies suggests
that curcumin may help prevent or treat several types of cancers, including
prostate, breast, skin, and colon cancer. Its preventive effects may be because it
is a strong antioxidant, protecting cells from damage.

Stinging Nettle ~ Urtica dioica
Now here is one special herb! Keeps one respectful of the plant or else
it let's you know, in turn it strengthens and supports the whole body. I
use it when cooking on a regular basis and in Andre's dog biscuits. Rich
in calcium, chlorophyll & iron as well as many other vitamins & minerals.
A tonic, astringent, diuretic, nutritive & antihistamine, it's heart shaped
leaves are in truth to the giving & receiving of life's force energy of
love. A support for inflammatory issues so try a cup of hot or cold nettle tea a couple
times a day in support of your own self healing. It is also a great hair rinse to promote
growth, thicken and aid in healing scalp conditions. Did you know the fibers are similar to
the hemp & flax plant & used as a fabric in the Bronze Age burial shrouds?
Horsetail ~ Equisetum arvense
This plant was a tree during the carboniferous period & probably
formed a great proportion of the vegetation . The horsetail now
exists as merely a dwarfish representative. I wonder if it will make
it's way back to tree size again....It's diuretic & astringent actions
are useful in kidney and bladder trouble. The primary use of the
herb is as a diuretic. Gently stimulating increased urinary flow,
horsetail helps "flush" infectious bacteria out of the bladder
without altering the body's balance of electrolytes. Being high in silica & calcium it is
great for nourishing the hair, bones & nails. Avoid horsetail if you take an ACE inhibitor
for high blood pressure & you have congestive heart failure, as the combination of the
herb and the drug can cause accumulation of excessive potassium. Also do not use if you
have kidney stones.Horsetail has been recognized as a specific for inflammation or
benign enlargement of the prostate gland.
Tulsi (Holy Basil) ~ Ocimum tenuiflorum
This herb is an Ayurvedic herb & is valued as being Very Sacred in
India. It's an adaptogen which means it helps to restore balance in the
body, adapt to stress & restore bodily functions. It's planted as a
religious plant at their homes & used in rituals & meditation along with
being used as a medicine. I love this herb and combine it with nettles &
horsetail as a daily tonic. Of course made with 9.5ph Kangen water.
www.kangendemo.com The leaves of Holy Basil is the part used. Can also
be incorporated into your food, hence eating for health. It is good for heart disease,
inflammation, colds, headaches, skin conditions, anti-aging, stomach aches, flu, diabetes,
malaria, radiation poisoning, mercury poisoning, cancer, arthritis, liver support, chronic
fatigue, the list goes on....Nutritionally consists of vitamin A & C, calcium, iron, zinc &
chlorophyll. Holy Basil also has been called the "Queen of Herbs", "The Elixir of Life" &
"Mother Medicine of Nature". Tulsi in Sanskrit means "one that is incomparable". Tulsi
has a history of being in the oldest ancient Ayurvedic Sanskrit text called "Charak
Samhita written around 600 BC. It is also mentioned in the Rigveda, (The book of
eternal knowledge) written around 5000 BC. It is advised to avoid if pregnant, nursing or
attempting to become pregnant. I would avoid using it on babies & toddlers too.
Tulsi Plant (Holy Basil) Found to Remove Fluoride from Water & Support Pineal Gland
Health.
A plant called Tulsi, or Holy Basil, which grows all over India might just be another
answer to defluoridating water, all over the world. Research scientists at Rajasthan
University have discovered that Tulsi can replace some of the more expensive
alternatives to fluoride removal. The process is so simple, its downright exciting.
Tulsi (Holy Basil) Found to Cleanse Water of Fluoride
The researchers conducted the experiment in a village of Narketpally Mandal by soaking
75 mg of Holy Basil leaves in 100ml of water that had over 7 parts per million of
fluoride. After soaking the leaves in the water for a mere 8 hours, the fluoride was
reduced to just 1.1 parts per million. The World Health Organization says that ‘safe’
levels of fluoride in water are no higher than 1 part per million.
With the recent admittance by Harvard University that fluoride was bad for health, and
the continuing news that points to fluoride being responsible for depleting brain capacity
to causing ADD and ADHD, or even calcifying the pineal gland, (which inhibits important
hormonal secretions like Melatonin and Seratonin, and DMT), it is wonderful news that
such a simple remedy has been found.
