Natural Health Tip: Don’t Worry With
Fennel Soup
By Gary Scott
Really though, we should not worry, just be aware…and
act accordingly. If we find that we do worry a lot, we may have an air imbalance.
In ayurvedic terms our bodies are composed of three elements, air, fire and
water. The key to good health is keeping these three elements in balance,
just like a car requires the proper mix of gas, air and fire. Each element
when out of balance gives rise to emotional as well as physical disturbances.
Too much fire and we feel anger. To much water enhances depression and too
much air makes us worry.
Our emotions can give us clues to imbalances. Some simple
steps can help us stay in balance. For example, if we worry too much try focusing
on eating pace (in other words SLOW DOWN!). Sip hot water through the day and
eat and drink more fennel. To make fennel tea, mix fennel seeds and hot water.
That’s pretty simple but can bring a profound calming.
Here is a recipe for fennel soup as well.
3 cups of fennel, thinly sliced
1/4 cup chopped parsley
1/4 teaspoon fennel seed
1 celery rib, diced
1/2 avocado, diced
6-8 carrots, chopped
Bring the fennel, parsley, seed, carrots and celery to a boil.
Let this steep. Add in the avocado. Enjoy the taste and be worry free as well!
