When I lived in Bali, I fell in love with the Balinese-style turmeric juice, Jamu Kunyit.
Turmeric is known to be one of the most powerful healing herbs. It is great for bones and joints as it has anti-inflammatory properties. It prevents metastases from occurring in many different forms of cancer.
Turmeric’s also a natural liver detoxifier and a kidney cleanser, and it speeds metabolism and aids in weight management. Plus it heals and alleviates conditions of depression, psoriasis, damaged skin, arthritis and more.
For these reasons, turmeric is ubiquitous both in Ayurveda and Chinese Medicine.
I have had terrible problems with my liver. I had hepatitis A when I was a kid, and even though I had a very mild case, it has continued to effect my liver. As a result I have never been able to drink much alcohol (1 beer has had me puking for hours the next day -- ugg). As a result I am always ...
I recently came across this delicious and healing recipe for dandelion syrup. I have made dandelion wine before so I know how many dandelions you need to pick for such a recipe. It is best to have a lovely field with no dogs or pesticides anywhere near it. It is a lovely way to spend a spring day, p ...

Technically it should be drank and digested at least half an hour before eating the delicious chicken liv ...
I have been mentioning Pottenger's Cats quite frequently of late, as our cat Mishka is also from Pasadena originally and she just loves raw milk and cream. This hasn't always been the case. About a year ago I noticed a bald patch which was growing over her liver, we were too broke to take her to the ...
Hey everyone, Hope you all are enjoying yourselves and have had marvellous weekends. I have entered a couple of videos in a couple of competitions. Please if you have a spare minute can you vote for them? As most of you have noticed we got fed up with google ads last year and got rid of them, ...
This episode was the first one that we filmed for Mouth of Babes and one of our favorite recipes. A big thanks to FoxFire Farms for supplying the rich and nourishing organic grass-fed lamb liver. I love their slogan, 'meat you can trust.' There is definitely a completely different energy cooking ...
I never knew I could like liver until I had paté! Fantastic stuff, especially if you have the right combination of spices and a touch of lime or something sour. This recipe uses the wonderful combination of onions, garlic and ginger that I love so much from Burmese and other Asian dishes. Mix and m ...
In the latest addition of Mouth of Babes we learn how to make kombucha, the powerfully detoxing home-brew. It is a good idea to start drinking kombucha before you actually get pregnant. If you are planning to get pregnant, drink it for at least six months before conceiving to help clean your tis ...
I finally realized that even though I spend a lot of time raving on about the wonders of kombucha I haven't posted a basic description for how to make it. Every ten days I follow this routine which provides me and my man with tasty kombucha tea while the next batch ferments on the countertop. Halve ...
