Food and herbs can protect, strengthen, and support the many systems in your body. When an imbalance occurs or an invader attacks, you can go to a specific food item or herb to help the body bring back balance. This lesson we will focus on food as our medicine and next lesson will be about herbs.

"And by the river upon the bank thereof, on this side and on that side, shall grow all trees for meat, whose leaf shall not fade, neither shall the fruit thereof be consumed: it shall bring forth new fruit according to his months, because their waters they issued out of the sanctuary: and the fruit thereof shall be meat, and the leaf thereof for medicine." Ezekiel 47:12

Some foods can give added nourishment the body needs, while others contain antiviral/antibacterial properties to aid the immune system in destroying pathogens. Here are a few of my favorite foods for healing. Be sure to click on each food and learn all about the healing benefits you can enjoy from it.
