Healing foods


MANY believe there’s a place for home remedies alongside modern medicine to help our body heal naturally. Some of the simplest and most effective treatments are to be found in our kitchen. Some healing ingredients are known to be natural antioxidants and backed by scientific evidence, while others are just hand-me-down folk treatments that may not have a place in legitimate medical practices.

For example, some of you may remember having your mother rub a hot hard-boiled egg over that bump on your head when you fell down. Some shamans go as far as to say that the egg would turn black inside after a while as it has absorbed the toxins causing the bruise. In truth, there is no scientific proof that this actually does anything for the swelling, besides garnering some attention from your sympathetic mother.
