Food has always been powerful medicine. In a culture that often looks to big pharma to cure its ills, it can be a departure to think of what we eat every day as a resource to repair and restore health. But the truth is that using food as medicine is as old as time.

Traditional healing practices have known this for millennia, and, thankfully, we’re now starting to realize it as well.
