As a society we have fallen a long way away from eating foods that heal. I’ve been making bone broth for a long time now, and it’s been so nourishing for our family. Every week or so I make bone stock as it’s packed with vitamins, nutrients, and minerals our bodies need on a daily basis to thrive! I then throw it into different meals I make for it’s medicinal properties. Some people like to drink a cup a day, but I like to use it in soups, rice, sauces, etc.

I first learned about Kava (Piper methysticum) from a Plant Spirit Medicine class at SW Herb in downtown Mesa. We gathered in a circle and were invited to partake in the ceremonial drink of Kava. Kava drink is a social beverage, used in all types of ceremonies, used as medicine and as a soothing relaxant.
