Pharmacopeia -
The Spice Rack of Life
Did you know your pantry is like
a pharmacy? Thankfully, it is far
cheaper. Cumin is loaded with phyto-chemical, antioxidants,
iron, copper, calcium, potassium, manganese, selenium, zinc and magnesium and
contains high amounts of B-complex. Cumin helps with insomnia. Cinnamon is truly a
power spice. Just half a teaspoon daily can dramatically reduce blood glucose
levels in those with type 2 diabetes and lower cholesterol. Cayenne promotes circulation and boosts
metabolism. Clove is an antifungal and abets toothaches. Nutrient-rich parsley
is a detoxifying
herb and acts as anti-inflammatory and anti-spasmodic helping conditions from
colic to indigestion. Rub it on itchy skin for instant relief! Sage is very beneficial in treating gum and throat
infections. Sage tea has helped ease depression and anxiety for generations. Thyme is a cure for a hangover and
doubles to alleviate colds and bronchitis. Cilantro
is a good source of iron, magnesium, phytonutrients and flavonoids and is also
high in dietary fiber. Cilantro has been used for thousands of years as a
digestive, lowering blood sugar having hypoglycemic properties, possibly the
result of stimulating insulin secretion. Ginger
stimulates circulation and is an excellent digestive, aiding in absorption of food
and rids bloat. Immune champion turmeric
boosts production of antioxidants and reduction of inflammation. Blue Zone
centenarians credit their long healthy life by drinking turmeric-root tea
daily. Pack your pantry with these seasonings for optimal health and happiness.
