Natural Cures

A super bright Ph.D.-toting lady named Laura recently shared a few natural cure-alls with me. I'm sure everyone has come across these at some point, but I thought I'd pass them on to you:

• Cumin - Prevents Cancer
• Ginger - Calms Nausea
• Basil - Combats Colds
• Cinnamon - Fights Diabetes
• Rosemary - Improves Memory
• Garlic - Reduces Cholesterol
• Nutmeg - Lowers Blood Pressure
• Cloves - Helps Arthritis Pain
• Turmeric - Curbs Inflammation
• Thyme - Eases a Cough

If you don't have or go to a local farmer's market, you can buy these fresh here and here, and you can see how to use them here.

Here's to good health!
