Day 23: Re.herb things up!!!

Yeap. It's time to rev things up the herb way! Common inexpensive natural superfoods that have the potential to do so much for us!


Nothing fancy but loyal as could be.


As you may have noticed I add herbs to my juices on a regularly basis. I love cilantro, parsley and mint these days.... mixed up with my green juice! and I love knowing what my loyal friends are up to...


Here is a list of 5 commonly used herbs found in the grocery stores and their very prescious talents a.k.a. Health Benefits:

CILANTRO (also known as Coriander) :  is an antimicrobial and anti-bacterial. It fights off infections and other bugs in the body, as well as, it is a powerful natural cleansing agent that has been effectively used to help remove heavy metals and other toxic agents from the body. Also, the rich qualities of cilantro oil have a powerfully positive effect on our inner digestive tract. The oils aid our digestive system in its production of digestive enzymes, acids and juices. 

PARSLEY: Parsley neutralizes toxins in your liver, inhibits abnormal cell growth (preventing tumors and cancers), and boosts the immune system. It improves digestion, promotes urination and relieves mucous based conditions such as excess weight, swollen glands, and bladder and kidney conditions. 

BASIL: The leaves are a nerve tonic and also sharpen memory. It helps remove mucus in the lungs and it is used in the treatment of respiratory system disorders. It has a strengthening effect on the kidney. It has a beneficial effect in cardiac disease and the weakness resulting from them. It reduces the level of blood cholesterol. Basil leaves are regarded as an 'adaptogen' or anti-stress agent. It purifies blood.

ROSEMARY: it has the ability to help prevent cancer and age-related skin damage, boost the functioning of the liver and act as a mild diuretic to help reduce swelling. 



















MINT: It is well known for its properties related to indigestion, stomach cramps, menstrual cramps, flatulence, upset stomach, nausea, vomiting, and colic in children.

So it's time to chop them up, juice them up and eat them as a main meal!!!! 

Here is a recipe using Cilantro:
