Ginger is Wonder Herb!
Guest Blog Post by South Jersey Holistic Practitioner-Elsie Kerns
Ginger – beaucoup benefits for the body
Fresh ginger is a miracle herb. It warms your insides and is also known to be a powerful “anti-inflammatory” agent. It has immune boosting qualities and promotes healthy sweating to detoxify the body and also sends germ-fighting elements to the skin surface. Ginger’s warming effect helps reduce a fever and makes it a natural decongestant and antihistamine.
Recent studies have shown that Ginger can help reduce the amount of cholesterol your system absorbs and thereby lower LDL cholesterol. Even more, Ginger supports digestion by breaking down proteins and fatty foods. Ginger can reduce symptoms of nausea, morning sickness, vomiting and dizziness.
Here are some suggested uses: Purchase fresh ginger next time you go to the store. Cut away the brown bark area and cut a tiny thin slice and chew before a meal for digestion. During a cold or flu, lace a wedge of ginger in boiling water, let steep and drink ginger tea … or purchase one of the Ginger teas from Celestial Tea or Traditional Medicinals. Continue reading

Natural Weed Control to be Eco-Friendly!

Natural Weed Control

You could pull those dandelions out and have them in a salad or here are a few natural weed control techniques from the Earth Talk experts! – Karen
Dear EarthTalk: I pruned back an overgrown bush in my back yard last fall and now the soil around it is covered in dandelions and other weeds. Is there any way to get rid of these weeds without resorting to RoundUp and other chemical herbicides?
– Max S., Seattle, WA
Weeds are nothing if not opportunistic. While you may not have bargained for getting one form of eyesore (weeds) by clearing another (an overgrown bush), dandelions and other fast-growing, quickly spreading plants know no bounds when some new territory opens up. They will colonize and spread out given the slightest opening—after all, that‘s what defines them as weeds.
Of course, conventional herbicides such as Monsanto‘s RoundUp will take down the weeds in a jiffy, but the negative effects on people, animals and the environment may be both profound and long-lasting. Independent studies of RoundUp have implicated its primary ingredient, glyphosphate, as well as some of its “inert” ingredients, in liver damage, reproductive disorders and Non-Hodgkin‘s Lymphoma, as well as in cardiovascular, gastrointestinal, nerve and respiratory damage.

No Impact Man, The Movie – a green review by Karen A.Teeters
Is it possible to have a good life without wasting so much?
No Impact Man – a green movie review by Karen A Teeters
No Impact Man on DVD
Colin Beavan, author of the book and blog of the same name had an inspired idea for a project, for a book, but he never imagined his and his family’s wild year of radical low consumption would be made into a documentary. And may I add a very entertaining, light, fun, inspirational and even educational documentary movie at that!
In the beginning of the film Colin expresses this thought,”Is it possible to have a good life without wasting so much?” And sometimes when he introduced some really austere and strict ideas that were met with a bit of resistance and maybe second guessing even on his part, you know he was wondering what the answer would actually be at the outcome of this experiment of his.
So Colin’s idea of foregoing electricity, coffee, processed foods, paper goods, restaurant eating and buying used items, getting rid of TV and more to see how one family’s commitment would impact the rest of the inhabitants on the planet was filmed for the world to see.
His wife and his sweet toddler daughter had no idea what they were getting into when they agreed. Michelle Conlin was a good sport even when she admitted on camera her temptation to cheat because of her admitted coffee/caffeine addiction. So seeing her at the corner Starbucks succumbing with an all too recognizable cup in hand and hearing her all too human rationalizations helped the other half of the more skeptical and less virtuous viewers relate. What is a woman to do for the love of a good hearted husband? You could see she worked hard and deserved a cup of Starbucks caffeine from time to time! Continue reading

Kids go green? Off couch & into nature!
EARTHTALK
A Green Post from GreenLivingZone.com by Karen Ann Teeters
How can kids go green? Get them off the couch and into nature.
One of my favorite recycled Earth Talk Question and Answer Columns as seen in E Environmental magazine, reprinted with Permission from E.
Dear EarthTalk: What are some things that children and families can do to be greener (and to provide life lessons for the kids in the process)?
– Cynthia Mosher, via email
There are many ways to be green around the family that are sure to rub off on the littler ones in your midst—if they don’t beat you to it, that is.
With environmental awareness so widespread among younger people in our society, most kids have learned more about being green from their school teachers and camp counselors than we adults might have gleaned in a lifetime. For one, the environmental “Three R’s”—Reduce, Reuse, Recycle—are followed at many schools nowadays. But just because your kids might hear about it at school doesn’t mean that it is sinking in, and that’s where you come in. By reinforcing such messages at home and on outings—and leading by example—you can be certain that today’s ‘tweens will be tomorrow’s greens. Continue reading
