Mulberries do more than feed silk worms on mulberry trees. They can be bought dried or fresh. Soak the dried fruit in cold water and add a handful to teas. Mulberries improve vision, boost immunity and heart health. The leaves when brewed as a tea help improve spring allergies. Antioxidants in mulberry fruit help prevent certain cancers and complexion problems associated with aging.

In China, mulberry leaves have been treasured as an herbal medicine since ancient times. China’s oldest medical book “Huang Di Ba Shi Yi Nan Jing” or “The Yellow Emperor’s Classic of the Difficulties” records the plant’s first use. It refers to the dry Mulberry leaf tea, “Sang ye cha” or godly hermits’ tea, “Qian cheng de yin shi cha” as a miracle remedy, an immortality medicine, stating it was used as a cure for coughs, nutritional fortification and paralysis. Today we know tasty mulberry leaf tea improves diabetes and is useful for weight loss. A bitter tasting decoction of the sliced twig (cooked for at least 20 minutes) reduces rheumatism pain, leg swelling and nerve pains. Interesting enough the Chinese character for Mulberry Tree is 桑 which means “tree for the silk worm.” It also has the same meaning in Japanese. Mulberry leaf is the main diet of silkworms.
Do you like something creamy and smooth in coffee or tea? I discovered a new healthy alternative to milk. Many people avoid milk, or should, because they are allergic. Once I saw a map at New York’s Museum of Natural History showing the areas in the world where people are not lactose intolerant — a very small section of Africa, where tribes have consumed goat’s milk for generations. Some allergic reactions may include cramps, indigestion, bloating, blemishes, or mucus leading to breathing problems. Goat’s milk lacks the cow dairy protein casein, but all dairy increases “mucus.” I heard from a noted Tibetan monk doctor, Yeshe Donden, that the combination of milk and fish is “deadly.” I never found out if he meant that fish and milk cause too much phlegm or that the combination is forbidden because fish are considered sacred in some parts of traditional Tibet. There is a legendary lake there in which the fish were considered deities. Excess phlegm according to Tibetan, Chinese, and Ayurvedic medicines, underlies congested conditions ranging from asthma to cancer. Ayurveda calls it Kapha; Tibetan medicine bad-kan; and Chinese medicine might describe mucus congestion or excess fat and phlegm as resulting from low digestive qi and “dampness” (she pronounces roughly shuh.) So what’s my solution to the creamy milk problem?
Do you want to lose weight and feel clean and green? Alfalfa is one of our richest sources of vital nutrients. This super food is high in chlorophyll, vitamins A, B1, B6, C, D, E, and K, calcium, phosphorus, niacin, biotin, folic acid, potassium, magnesium, and zinc. Vitamin K is critical to blood clotting. Alfalfa is also rich in phytoestrogens, saponins and it contains the eight essential amino acids. Alfalfa is higher in protein than many other plant foods. It has antibacterial, antioxidant and antifungal properties. It cleanses and rejuvenates the entire digestive tract and the blood. It reduces pain, toxins, skin blemishes, and halitosis by making the body more alkaline.

It has been recommended to improve immunity to cancers. Alfalfa leaf saponins lower plasma cholesterol, decrease intestinal absorption of cholesterol, and prevent atherosclerosis. The antibacterial, antioxidant and antifungal properties of alfalfa provide relief from arthritic pain and to enhance healing.

Alfalfa root is used in Chinese medicine to reduce fever, improve urine flow, and treat jaundice, kidney stones, and night blindness.
