Hello friends,

Fall is in the air! Things are drying out, cooling off and beginning to change. Yet, I bet we can expect a few more sweet summery days this month before the weather truly shifts! I'm beginning to dream of cool autumn walks, bonfires and soup. How about you? Here are a few good links below for you to enjoy. See you soon!

SEAWEED :: love it? never tried it? scared of it? curious? 
Here is a great introductory article that explains a bit about the health benefits and how to get started with eating these delicious vegetables of the sea!

Sea of Qi Therapeutic Bodywork Newsletter :: July 2011

:: Sea of Qi Newsletter ::
JULY 2011

Hello friends,

I thought I'd share a recipe from one of my favorite books: "Healing With Whole Foods" by Paul Pitchford. I've shared bits and pieces from this book in the past. This is an easy saute recipe, packed with nutrients. 

Summer Wakame with Greens

1/2 cup Wakame (a type of seaweed) soaked and chopped
1 bunch greens (swiss chard, kale, spinach)
1 teaspoon oil (optional)
Dash sea salt
1/2 teaspoon lemon juice
  • Saute wakame in a small amount of water until tender and then add the oil.
  • Add greens, salt and lemon. Reduce heat, cover and simmer 5 minutes or until bright green.
  • Serves 4.
Seaweed is rich in calcium, iron and iodine. It is cooling, salty, can detoxify the body, moisten dryness, remove residue from radiation, build Yin fluids, act as a lymphatic cleanser, alkalize the blood and move Liver Qi. Wow!

Always talk with your doctor before making any drastic changes to your diet. A Nutritionist or Doctor of Chinese Medicine can also help with any dietary questions you may have.
