For herbal decoctions and most teas, yes. I always use boiling water. I use a lot of tinctures myself though. I'll leave it at that.

I know it's been a while since your post, but I personally...

Greetings! Here are a few of my teachers and some other recommendations. Herbs are often gentle, but are also incredibly powerful and can even cause a lot of problems when used incorrectly. Please...

In my experience, blanching can be skipped if the veggies are going to be consumed relatively quickly but it also depends on the kind of veggies you're freezing. If you want to freeze something for...

Hi all - just wanted to pop in my 2 cents. After providing a doctor's note to exempt him from milk drinking at the beginning of the year and allow 100% juice (still processed, but IMO better than...

I am currently working on a Master's degree in Acupuncture and Oriental Medicine and also highly recommend Paul Pitchfod's book, "Healing with Whole Foods: Asian Traditions and Modern Nutrition." It...

I love the Eco! I make special trips to Minneapolis just to go there. My favorites are the Strawberry Marinara, any of the Living Pizzas, and the Guacamole. I've never had anything from there that...

YES, Honey crisp apples are the best! Kind of sour, but a little sweet. . . they're in season now and they RAWK. . .MMMMM!

Hello everyone. This group has so much energy this month! Keep it up ya'll!

I've been trying to eat simpler this time around with less "prepared" meals--lots of veggies, salads, and fresh fruit....

I use a mixture of baking soda and sea salt to brush, then do a quick brush with peroxide. I use one of the Oral B power brushes (our dentist actually gave them to us) and it makes my teeth feel SO...

I haven't posted in a while. . . I started the 30 day challenge in June (and it didn't go so well). We ended up in a financial crisis and I decided that it wasn't the best time for me to be trying...

I teach yoga and am also a Reiki practitioner. If you want to find a training program in your area, you can check www.yogaalliance.com for starters and look under "registered schools." I have been...

I haven't posted in long time either. We ran into some major financial troubles and I couldn't really afford to eat like I preferred to so I ended up stopping the 100% challenge mid-month.

I...

Hello everyone. I'm glad to see that so many of you are doing well with the challenge.

Well, once again, I've been really busy and haven't been posting much. I'm in about the same place that I...

Things got a bit hectic for me this week. I got injured and have been to the doctor, physical therapist, and chiropractor. . .more appointments today. :(

The June challenge has gone really well...

Has anybody noticed an INCREASE in injuries or a DECREASE in the amount of hard workouts their body can take with raw?

I got a pretty painful injury last week in martial arts and ended up going to...

I was wondering about something very similar lately when it comes to packaged foods. . .I just usually assume they are all not raw, but. . .

What about things that are in jars that do say raw? ...

I did just find this comparision between the two. . .

I got a JLL juicer for a gift a couple of years ago. . .I use it (of course--it was free) :D but it really is a HUGE pain to clean! Sometimes I avoid juicing because I just don't want to have to...

I haven't sprouted a whole heck of a lot (I actually tend to forget about them. . .) but I have some mung beans going right now and I don't try to get the hulls off until I'm ready to eat them--on...

Thanks for the words of encouragement about the "family!" :)

I had some setbacks, but I'm doing well now. . .I'm totally hooked on this salad dressing--I guess because I'm such a guac-a-holic....

Well I got off to a VERY rocky start. . . I ended up having to go down and see some family in rural (really rural) Iowa. I had a horrible time with trying to be raw there. Not to go into too many...

Thank you all so much!!! I really appreciate it!

I planned on doing this 100% for June anyway. (I'm actually starting today). It will be my first time to do it totally 100% for that long. Shockingly, my hubby decided to try it too! He's never...

I decided to do a 100% raw month for June--yeah! But here's the question: I also just started back doing martial arts. The workouts are VERY, VERY intense--a minumum of 2 hours, and for now in a...

I wonder if that would work for me in Minnesota. How big do they get? If it is something that could be potted, I could bring it in when it's cold. . . I spend SOOO much money on avocados!
