Hello all!
How has your day gone so far?
As we close out World Mental Health Day and month, did you know the history of the amazing health benefits of Iru? I was sooo happy that a good friend of mine from Nigeria gave me some Iru beans last week! I will let you all know soon when my travels will allow me to visit this amazing part of the globe! One of my clinical goals is to bring to my practice evidence-based holistic approaches of food as medicine!
Because the African locust bean is popular among the Yoruba people and is of great importance in Nigeria as they rely on it for treating and healing wounds. Studies have found that these bean compounds reduce oxidative stress. The essential oils of the African locust beans are highly valuable. The little Iru bean from Africa traveled across the seas now brings good health and beauty to the world! Learning about this made it easy for me to name my practice, Ginger & Iru!
What else can we learn about our emotional and mental health?
