Griep and Ayurvedic smoothie<\/h2>\n

After a busy period last fall, I got the flu. I was apparently oblivious<\/strong> to it and I had just treated a customer that had just recovered from having the flu. I always find it hard to surrender to it. There are so many better things to do than laying in bed whole day and sleep a lot. But I also felt that my body needed the rest. I see the time of being sick always as a moment of awareness and time for reflection<\/strong> (as far as possible with a full head).<\/p>\n

Tips that work<\/h3>\n

I decided to put a post<\/strong> on Facebook to get tips. The most helping one I had recently gotten through a friend. A recipe from the Ayurvedic kitchen<\/strong>, which is based on the restorative power of a human being himself. You need to grate a piece of ginger, then boil it for an hour in a liter of water, then sieve it, put it in a thermos bottle and drink small sips of it throughout the day. It will cleanse you from within. This also works well if you want to do a mild detox<\/strong> (detoxification cure).<\/p>\n

An interesting tip came from a colleague. Use a turmeric mixture<\/strong> that you can stir in your tea. This is the link to the recipe<\/a>. You can use it all winter long and it’s good for you immune system<\/strong>. Actually, in any case, turmeric is a boost for your immune system. I use it in soups and other dishes as well.<\/p>\n

I love cooking and like to keep myself busy with the motto: healing<\/strong> with foods. While having the flu I made a delicious pumpkin soup with coconut from the cookbook of yoga instructor Tara Stiles. From the cookbook of Vegadutchie I made buckwheat pancakes<\/strong> that I smeared with maple syrup<\/strong>. And I made my own recipe for a smoothie. Very fresh and super healthy. A must try!<\/p>\n

Tackle the flu-smoothie<\/h3>\n

100 gr fresh or frozen blueberries
\n1 banana
\n1 apple
\n1 ripe avocado
\njuice of half a lemon
\njuice of one orange
\n1 cm turmeric
\n1 cm ginger root
\nhand of hemp seed
\nhand of dried cranberries
\norganic cocoa powder
\ncinnamon powder<\/p>\n

Put everything in the blender and enjoy<\/strong>!<\/p>\n

After a week I was totally recovered and the smoothie is a keeper! Try it yourself!<\/p>\n
