Herbs & Spices

What is the difference?

Herbs come from the leafy part of the plant and for thousands of years have been used for medicinal purposes; a person who prescribes medicinal herbs is called a Herbalist. Herbs are also excellent to add flavour and medicinal properties to many meals. Another helpful tip is that the flowers of all edible herbs can also be consumed, some of which contain great benefits for your body.

Spices on the other hand usually come from the dried part of the plant and are used in cooking to add flavor to meals. Just because they are called spices it does not mean that they are spicy, spices can be sweet, pungent, tangy, amalgamating or hot. A small amount of spice goes a long way as spices are loaded with flavor. Usually no more than a teaspoon is needed.

IMPORTANT NOTE TO CONSIDER IN YOUR FOOD INVESTIGATIONS:

When someone starts to develop a food intolerance, it is very rarely the natural food that is causing the intolerance. Usually, the person is becoming intolerant to one or more of the herbicide or pesticide chemicals that have been used to grow the food. Quite often eating a cleaner organic source of the food in question can eliminate the intolerance problem.

Use the chart above to determine what type of herb or spice your body requires more or less of to thrive.

Hack IN:-)

1. Ask: Is there more than 1 type of herb or spice that I need to discover?

If yes, ask: in TOTAL, how many types of herb or spices do I need to discover? 2? 3?
Increase the number one by one until you get a yes answer.
If you reach 3 without getting a yes answer, ask: do I need to discover more than 3?
If yes, continue increasing the number until you get a yes.
If no you have gone past the correct number, either start again or use a process of elimination until you find the correct number of herb or spices required.

2. Ask: Is the herb or spice I need to discover in Column A?

If yes, it is in Column A.
If no, ask if it is in Column B. If yes, it is in Column B.
If no, it is in Column C.

3. Ask: Is it in an Odd Row?

If yes, it is in an Odd Row (1, 3, or 5).
If no, it is in an Even Row (2, 4, or 6).

4. For Odd, ask: Is it in Row 1?

Name odd rows one by one until you get a yes answer.

For Even, ask: Is it in Row 2?

Name even rows one by one until you get a yes answer.

5. Ask: Is it ______?

Test each herb or spice in that box, one by one, until you get a yes answer.

6. Repeat steps 2 to 5 above for the number of herb or spices that need to be discovered.

Once you have the herb or spices required ask the following questions about each herb or spice.

7. Ask: Do I need more of this herb or spice?

If yes, using a process of elimination ask how often your body requires this herb or spice.
- For example: Do I need to eat this herb or spice more than once a week? Etc.
If no, ask do I need to stop eating it altogether?
- If yes, ask if a cleaner source of this herb or spice would overcome the problem?
  - If yes, find a cleaner source of this herb or spice.
    - You can use your muscle magic at the shop to find a cleaner source, or a brand that you will not be intolerant to.
    - Using a process of elimination ask how often you need to eat it?
  - If no, stop eating it.
If you don’t need to stop eating it altogether, if you just need to reduce your consumption of it, ask how often you need this herb or spice using a process of elimination.
- For example: Do I need to eat this herb or spice more than once a fortnight? Etc.

8. Ask: Am I able to absorb this herb or spice effectively?

If no, move to determining the malabsorption cause.
If yes, move to the healing intention.

Malabsorption Cause

Ask: Is there an underlying imbalance that is contributing to the malabsorption of this herb or spice?

If no, move to healing intention.
If yes, hack IN and clear the cause of the malabsorption before proceeding with this clearing.

Healing Intention

Using common sense and with moderation, remove or add this herb or spice to your diet.

– your notes may look something like this:

Lifestyle: nutrition – herb/spice x 1 – garlic = adjust diet.
