🌿💪 Dandikraut (Dandelion Sauerkraut) is one of my favorite spring foods to stimulate the gut after a long sluggish winter. Today I'm harvesting some dandelion leaves to make several brand new batches that I will eat throughout the next few weeks.

Sauerkraut in general is full of probiotics and nutrients that support gut health. Add in the medicinal benefits of dandelion and you have a powerhouse of immune support!

RECIPE:

• 1lb, 10 oz cabbage
• 4 oz fresh dandelion leaves
• 2 teaspoons salt

1. Remove the outer leaves of your cabbage and set them aside. Remove the core and slice your cabbage into thin pieces.

2. With both hands twist your dandelion leaves and slice thinly (while twisted).

3. Add dandelion greens and cabbage to a large bowl and sprinkle with your salt.

4. Massage the mix for about 3 minutes, then let it rest for 10, then massage one more time. This is going to help soften the mixture and release the natural juices.

5. Using a funnel, pack your ingredients into a clean jar, using a wooden spoon if necessary to remove any air pockets. There should be enough liquid to create a brine, but if not, you can add a bit of water.

6. At this point take one of the larger cabbage leaves, removed in the beginning and place over the mixture.

7. Add a fermenting weight or sterilized stone on top to hold the ingredient under the brine. Close lid but not so tight so that fermentation gases can't escape.

8. Place jar in a shady spot for about a week. You should start to see bubbles in a day or so.

After the initial fermentation is complete and gasses are almost non-existent (usually a week depending location), I tighten the lid and place in the fridge where it will keep for months. It is also ready to be enjoyed if desired.
》》---------

Dandelion is one of nature's most abundant superfoods and the leaves are packed full of nutrients. They also are bitter, which helps to stimulate digestive secretions, thus improving digestion and overall gut health. This version of wild sauerkraut, it's not only delicious, it's extremely nutritious, and makes a great way to use those spring weeds 😉

⚠️ SAFETY CONSIDERATIONS:
Anytime you are dealing with fermentation there is a chance of spoilage. If your kraut has any signs of mold or smells bad, do not consume.

🌿 We finally have "Essiac" here at HealthPrimitive! 😍
I'm going to do my best to explain what this is without getting banned.....👀

🌱 Essiac is a formulation of herbs that was originally consumed as a tea. It was brought to the limelight in the 1920s by Canadian nurse Rene Caisse, who promoted it as an alternative cancer treatment. According to Caisse, she learned the recipe from a patient who attributed her recovery to a recipe she had received from an Ojibwa medicine man. The patient shared the formula with Caisse, who began experimenting with it and eventually named it "Essiac" (her last name spelled backward). Caisse worked alongside Dr. Charles Brusch, a former physician to President John F. Kennedy, and spent years refining the recipe. She claimed the formula was more than 70% effective, and people traveled across the Nation to receive her treatment.

🤬 Unfortunately in 1942, Canadian government officials and the medical establishment worked to stop Renee Caisse from practicing and distributing Essiac tea, eventually forcing the closure of her clinic, although she continued to distribute the formula to close associates until late in her life. She eventually passed away in 1978, but her herbal formula continues to live on to this day.

✨ Now with all of this being said, there are limited scientific studies to show this formula works..... However, there are many scientific studies on each of these herbs individually, which show cancer fighting qualities. One specific herb is burdock root, which I promote quite often for this reason. Not only does it have cancer fighting abilities, it cleanses the lymphatic system which keeps your immune system functioning properly. I will put some studies and sources below

🌿 LAST YEAR'S VIDEO
There are so many forgotten traditional foods that need to be brought back to the spotlight, and Virginia bluebells (Mertensia virginica) is one of them!

🪻This beautiful abundant plant was once an important medicine and food for many tribes in the eastern part of the united states. The roots were used as a medicine for pulmonary disorders and venereal diseases, and the flowers and shoots were consumed as a food.

🙌 Today, Virginia bluebell is nothing more than a pretty flower people see growing along the forest edge. It's time to start re-consuming the foods Creator and nature put here for us to consume.

⚠️ SAFETY CONSIDERATIONS
Comfrey is a plant that can be easily misidentified for bluebells so it's important that you make proper identification. If you have prior health concerns or take medications, do your own research or speak to a doctor before consuming. Pregnant and nursing women should avoid.

⚠️ ATTENTION MEN FOLLOWERS ♂️🌿
Now is the time to start gathering those stinging nettle rhizomes and fresh young leaves for your prostate remedies!.....👀

😲 Why you may ask? Well, many men aren't aware that by age 50, over 50% of you will suffer from BPH (benign prostatic hyperplasia). This disorder causes frequent urination, painful urination and swelling of the prostate and bladder. As you age the number continues to rise and by age 75 over 80% of men suffer from BPH.

💪🏻 Stinging nettle the root specifically has been scientifically proven to not only prevent BPH but also help to treat the symptoms for those already suffering from it. Above this, in "test-tube" studies, nettle root extracts have shown anti-proliferative effects, meaning they can slow the growth of human prostate cancer cells 😲....This is one of the reasons I recommend all men over the age of 35 to start consuming a daily supplement of nettle root.

♀️ Nettle root however isn't just for men! It offers significant benefits for women by acting as a natural hormonal balancer, particularly effective for managing PCOS symptoms, reducing heavy menstruation, and easing menopause transitions.

🌿 The entire plant is beneficial for the whole family and because stinging nettle offers antihistamine properties, it makes a great remedy for seasonal and chronic allergies. It also helps to lower inflammation, remove uric acid and improve kidney function. Not to mention, it's one of the most nutritiously dense plants on planet Earth!

🧺 HARVESTING
Nettle roots are best harvested in early spring before the energy of the plant reaches the leaves and flowers. Alternatively, fall time is great too when the energy of the plant pulls back to the roots. The leaves of stinging nettle can be harvested anytime they are fresh and full of life, and can also be included in any of your prostate remedies for extra benefits.

🥳 Our Lemon balm Elixir is finally Certified Organic!🌿 Known as "Nature's Ozempic," this plant has changed the lives of many of my clients by helping them lose weight and balance their A1C... without the harmful side effects!

💪🏻 Melissa officinalis (Lemon balm) supports weight loss and balances A1c by reducing stress-induced cortisol, improving insulin sensitivity, and inhibiting enzymes that break down carbohydrates. Its active compounds, like rosmarinic acid also may help lower fasting glucose and blood lipids.

🌿 Lemon balm is also referred to as "Long Life Lemon Balm" because many people who have consumed a daily tea of it, lived into their 100's, including Llewellyn, prince of Wales in the 13th century and Adele, who live to be 107 and was the best friend of World-Renowned herbalist Rosemary Gladstar. This, I personally believe is because lemon balm is a nervine herb, and nervines help to support and soothe was the central nervous system. This alone helps to reduce stress and after all, stress is the biggest killer (FACT).

GROW YOUR OWN
🌱 Lemon balm is extremely easy to grow, and can be planted just about—but note that it is a mint and will spread. I grow mine in pots and raised garden beds and harvest from them now until mid-summer, when they finally go to seed. The fresh leaves can be dried for future use or made into teas and tinctures.

⚠️ SAFETY CONSIDERATIONS
Lemon Balm should not be used by those who suffer from hypothyroidism as it can slow thyroid function. Alternatively, this is a great herb for those suffering from hyperthyroidism. If you have prior health concerns or take medication, it's best to do your own research or speak to a doctor prior to using. Lemon balm is often used by pregnant and lactating women, but it's always recommended to do your own research before using.

Did you know you could make Homemade Mustard from Wild Mustard Flowers?
Wild mustard (Sinapis arvensis) is an invasive species in North America and is mostly found growing along roadsides and field lines. This is not garlic mustard although the two are cousins. 🌿🌼

Wild mustard is closely related to cultivated mustard plants as well as our cole crops, such as kale, collard greens, and broccoli.
All parts of the plant are edible and can be eaten at any stage of growth. 😃

Like cultivated mustard plants, the seeds and flowers can be used to make mustard! 🌭

RECIPE FOR WILD MUSTARD🌼🌿

• 1 cup fresh mustard flowers
• ½ cup of white wine vinegar or apple cider vinegar
• 1-2 garlic clove
• 1 teaspoon salt
• Pepper (add peppercorns for added spice)
• Dash of arrowroot powder or cornstarch
• Spices to taste

Remove flowers from the stems trying to avoid as much of the green as possible.

Place all your ingredients into a food processor and blend well (I add my vinegar slowly to get the thicker consistency)

Once blended, store in the refrigerator for up to 6 months!

You can use this mustard on sandwiches, smoked meats, as a pork rub or even make a mustard cream sauce for salmon. The possibilities are endless!!🙌🌿

Although wild mustard is easy to identify, make sure you are 100% positive of identification before consuming any plant or mushroom.

🌱 RAMP BUTTER 🧈
Ramp butter is by far one of my favorite ways to use ramps! You can use it fresh or so or freeze it for future use and it's excellent on steaks, shrimp, etc. 😃

1 lb unsalted butter room temperature
6-8 ounces ramp leaves (and bulbs if you have them) (around 25 large ramp leaves)
1 tablespoon lemon juice
2 teaspoons lemon zest grated finely (from about 1 large lemon)
Salt to taste
Fresh ground black pepper

1. Trim and clean, then blanch the ramps in boiling water for just 30 seconds then remove them and plunge them in the ice water to stop the cooking (this is called ’shocking’).

2. Strain the ramps then squeeze out as much water as possible. Spread them out on paper towel to allow to dry for a few minutes.

3. If you are using a food processor, roughly chop the ramps and add them to the bowl along with the butter, lemon zest and juice. Process until they reach the texture you want. If you’re not using a processor, chop the ramps finely and place in a bowl with butter, lemon zest and juice and mix until well combined. Add salt and pepper to taste during this process until you reach desired flavor.

4. Afterwards pack your butter into jars or containers and store in the refrigerator for up to a week. The traditional method is to roll the butter into logs, either in parchment or plastic wrap, so they can be chilled and sliced, but I am not a fan of plastic wrap.
