If you don't recognize this #flower, I'm sure you've heard of it. The #PurpleConeflower or #EchinaceaPurpureaMoench is a popular plant for its immune boosting, anti-inflammatory and wound healing properties. All parts of this plants are edible, but only the flower petals are palatable though, a bit bitter. It's also loaded with antioxidants and although it's been used since the dawn of time to treat many common ailments, there's very little scientific literature to back it up. It's definitely one plant you'll want to add to your memory banks, because it treats very common injuries and infections we all get. This includes everything from minor cuts to bug bites, to urinary tract infections to the common cold. On top of that some believe it also has a calming effect, which helps with depression.

The list goes on and I hope to have wet your whistle, so you start to check out the local plants in your area. You'll be amazed at the free medicine available to you for free. It is #NaturalMedicines like these that we need to know about, so we don't allow the #PharmaceuticalCompanies takes the properties of these natural miracles and patent them, forcing us to pay an arm and a leg to get these compounds through them. It's also why we cannot let our #government give them too much power by banning many of these substances their natural forms, taking away more of our independence. #SoMee #someeoriginals #originalcontent #photography #edibleplants #medicinalplants #PlantUses #FlowerPhotography #myphoto #PlantIdentification #SelfSustainability #NaturalMedicine #FoodAsMedicine

As I awoke today with this craving, I made a batch of chocolatey dessert. Because I enjoy this combination, I simply use a few dates, 100 percent cocoa paste, coconut milk, coconut oil, vanilla bean powder, and orange zest. Later, I top with rose petals, almond flakes, and goji berries. This texture appeals to me because it is softer than a chocolate bar and contrasts nicely with the crunchy almonds.🍫🍫🍫 Happy Monday everyone! 😍 chocolateydesert #homemadedesert

the flowers always opening their petals to receive the light of day, my God extending his arms to bless us and me opening my heart to wish you a wonderful day. Happy Friday.
