12 of the Most Healing Ingredients You Should Always Have on Hand (Video)

-

Having flavorful, healthy ingredients on hand may not just be to take a good meal, to an extraordinarily delicious one, but can also aid in treating minor ailments right from your kitchen. Tanita de Ruijt, chef at London’s Koya Bar, a traditional Japanese udon-ya and author of the new cookbook Super Roots: Cooking With Healing Spices To Boost Your Mood, is all about incorporating healing herbs and spices into her Eastern-inspired dishes. In this excerpt from her new cookbook, Tanita de Ruijt shares her top 12 favorite “tastemakers.” Besides enhancing taste, each one of these ingredients has healing properties that you won’t want to miss.


1. Black pepper



According to ayurveda, the pungency and heat of black pepper work to help metabolize food as it is digested in our system. Its warming qualities also help to clear congestion in the respiratory system. Use for indigestion, sinus congestion, excess toxin buildup, fever, sluggish metabolism, and obesity.


2. Cardamom



Known as “the queen of spices,” cardamom is related to ginger. Like ginger, it’s good for improving digestion, soothing stomach pains, and relieving gas. Its warming properties also help to cleanse the body and improve circulation. You will have to break open the pods to discover its plethora of health benefits.

3. Chili, fresh or dried



The heat you feel from cayenne pepper and chili powder comes from capsaicin, a compound that has been shown to invigorate the blood, clear the nasal passages, and thin mucus. Fresh chilies also pack more vitamin C than oranges.

4. Cinnamon



An antibacterial spice found in most households, cinnamon increases general vitality, warms the body, counteracts congestion, improves digestion, relieves menstrual cramping, and improves circulation. Look for Sri Lankan “Ceylon cinnamon” (Cinnamomum verum), also known as “true cinnamon,” not cassia bark (Chinese cinnamon, Cinnamomum cassia). Grate the bark straight into your concoctions.

by  N.Morgan For decades the public was told that Q-tips are beneficial to our ears. Medical Q-tips remove excess wax from the ear, causing a sweet tingling sensation. However, although seemingly innocent, cotton Q-tips can be a great threat to your ears. Cotton buds are first of all, used improperly. There is no clear instruction on how to use a Q-tip rightfully, which ultimately leads to many people experiencing ear damage. Oftentimes serious, Q-tips are known to cause infections in the ear, aggravating the situation even further. What’s more, some now urge that Q-tips may be entirely responsible for an unwelcome brain infection. The Case that Changed the Idea of Q-tips A story on ear infections has really exposed the dangers of using Q-tips. Namely, a man went to the emergency room, following a bad seizure. The man explained how he experienced pain lasting for a couple of hours, followed by a discharge from his ear. At one point the man also lost some of...
