Good food, good digestion … good health!

Good health starts with whole, pesticide free, nourishing foods, which are easily digested by our bodies. Paying attention to improving digestion generally, is a step for most of us towards better health. More than 90% of our clients at Mullumbimby Herbals have some degree of lowered absorption and/or digestion. This is the root cause of many diseases.
What to do?
Sipping a little fresh ginger or fennel seed tea before or after meals is a simple home digestive aid. Or try the wonderful herb, Meadowsweet, ten minutes before meals.
It is also our approach and attitude to food which often needs addressing. Sitting and relaxing (centering), having a circle or saying some meaningful blessing on the meal, brings more respect and reverence to the food and actually enhances digestion and absorption. Our food can then nourish us on many levels. This can also be a daily way of bringing the family together. In our rushed modern lives, these little rituals which bring us closer are easily lost, and yet simple daily habits like these can add to the intimacies and rhythms of family life and are therefore, in their own way, prevention against childhood diseases.

Ayurveda is concerned with measures to protect “ayus”, which includes healthy living along with therapeutic measures that relate to physical, mental, social and spiritual harmony.
