Celery Is an Herb & What That Means When It Comes to Celery Juice

Maggie Holbik, Offering Inspiration for Living Freely and in JOY!

Celery Is An Herb

What do you think of when you think of herbal tea? I think of medicine. That’s what I think of.

And if celery is an herb, then it is a medicine to me also. The other day I posted this picture on Facebook.

A picture of my big pan of celery stalks ready for juicing for a few days

What a Christmas gift to myself I thought! Medicine! And I truly see celery juice as medicine. You can Google for yourself and see. Not only have I had many people that I know share with me their success stories but there are multiple thousands on the internet who share wonderful stories of healing. It is so amazing and awesome!

Like this FB message I received on the morning of Nov. 20/20

“Nothing quite like waking up every morning to learn how much more progress my body has made. I’m watching a miracle in action! Slowly the HS abscesses are getting smaller and smaller. When I bumped the celery juice to 32 oz the results are happening even faster. I thank God for you much lately, my friend. ❤“

But going back to the herbal component, this is the reason why we ‘juice’ the celery rather than just eat a whole pile of it. We want to extract the herb’s medicine just like we would with herbal tea. When we run the celery through a juicer we extract the medicinal properties from it.

I love walking in the produce section now because when I look around and fill my cart, I feel as though I am filling it with natural medicine, because I am. 🙂

Well have a great day folks and I would love to hear any of your celery juice or other nature’s medicine stories. And a shout out to Anthony Williams, The Medical Medium, for introducing the world to Celery Juice!

And I am wishing you a Healthy New Year in 2021 and beyond!

Healthy & Delicious Fudge!

Not Just Any Fudge …. but a Maple Fudge Recipe from the Medical Medium

Hey guys I saw this recipe this morning and thought I am so going to try this!

I am always telling my clients and whoever will listen to me, 🙂 about the benefits of raw honey and pure maple syrup. Our bodies and brains receive GREAT benefits from these natural sugars and we very much NEED them.

So when I saw this recipe I was excited. I am going to try to make these over the holidays.

Here is the recipe right from Anthony Williams, The Medical Medium and I will include a link to his complete post at the bottom of this post as well.

Maple Fudge

Ingredients:
1 1/2 cup pitted firm dates
1/4 cup maple syrup
1/3 cup smooth almond butter
1 tsp vanilla powder/alcohol-free vanilla extract
1/2 tsp ground cinnamon (optional)
1/4 tsp ground cardamom (optional)

Directions:
Add the dates, maple syrup, almond butter, vanilla and spices (if using) to a food processor. Process for 2 to 3 minutes until the mixture forms a ball.

Line a 6-inch baking tin or equivalent container with non-stick parchment paper. Using a wet spatula, press fudge batter out until smooth and even. Cover and place in freezer for 2 hours or overnight.

To serve, remove from freezer and cut into squares. Best served cold and stored in the freezer.

Makes 14-16 pieces

If you too make these let me know how they turn out and Happy Holidays!

Dealing With Anger

Maggie Holbik, Offering Inspiration for Living Freely and in JOY!

“Let your anger set with the sun and not rise again with it”. Irish Proverb

I am sure we have all been angry in our lives. It is a natural emotion and an expression that helps us to release pent up emotion. There is nothing wrong with anger when it is used for its purpose and not prolonged or it does not become a regular part of one’s life.

Anger eats away at a person and it also, of course, hurts the people it is projected at if it is indeed project at someone. Anger is very toxic to both the expresser of it and the receiver.

Anger is also associated with the liver in Chinese Medicine. It is said “Anger is the natural response to any interruption in the liver’s mission to move and grow.”

This makes sense to me because when I feel or experience anger, I feel my body become tighter and more restricted. I feel my ‘blood boil’ and we know that the blood is filtered through the liver so I can relate to the idea of the liver being interrupted in its ability to move and grow. It begins to constrict rather than expand.

If you are dealing with a lot of anger that you cannot explain or you might even wonder why you are reacting in anger, it might be helpful to work at supporting your liver.

I have written several posts about supporting the liver and you can read them here:

Of course, seeking a counselor or medical guidance is always a great plan as well. 🙂 But it never hurts to love our livers as the really are the source of our ‘life’.
