(Recipe) Winter salad with Belly Love

Anima mundi

I don’t know about you, but I LOVE a bowl of greens no matter what time of year it is. A delicious bowl of kale, or dark leafy greens of any kind, massaged with a rich dressing, and pre-biotic rich add-ons (like pumpkin!), makes up for a nourishing bowl of goodness.

Dressings are a great conduit to intaking herbal medicines. First off, you don’t even taste some of the more off-tasting herbs. Secondly, fat and good vinegar are excellent bases to absorbing medicinal compounds. Healthy fats are a great vehicle that can facilitate digestion, metabolism and depending on the fat it contains a wide array of medicinal components. Vinegars, particularly if raw, are rich in naturally occurring probiotics, which also allow for a deeper and more efficient absorption of just about anything. Essentially, if you pair your remedies, like metabolism boosters or even your adaptogen, with a food-baed probiotic and/or fat, you’re ensuring that the medicine gets absorbed properly.
