Recipes for Healthful and Healing Foods

Eating healthful and healing foods is an important part of caring for yourself. These traditional family recipes range from healing soups to eat when you are ill to healthful vegetable flours that you can use as a substitute in recipes that call for processed, bleached white flour. Adapt the recipes to suit your own palate, and enjoy!

Healing Soups

HERBAL BROTH

This herbal concoction is a wonderful source of nutrition during all types of illnesses. The warm steam of a hot soup soothes sore throats and lungs, and the clear liquid is easy to digest.

4 cups water

1 tablespoon fresh basil leaves

1 tablespoon fresh chervil leaves

1 tablespoon fresh parsley sprigs

1 tablespoon fresh spinach leaves

1 tablespoon fresh tarragon leaves

1 tablespoon fresh watercress leaves

In a medium-size saucepan, bring the water to a boil. Add the herbs, cover, and simmer for 10 minutes. Remove from heat and strain. Serve hot.

Herbal Humidifier

You can add fragrant moisture to a sickroom with an herbal mist. Make sure you do not use too much herb, or the fumes could be overpowering. I use about 1 tablespoon of basil and 2 teaspoons of thyme in 10 cups of water for the cool-mist humidifier.
