Anemia has been a big problem in our clinic recently. Poor eating habits, stress and over work is a huge culprit.

Many women with heavy menses seem to prone to chronic anemia. Since they can’t build there blood enough before the next moon time.

two turnips with tops peeled and chopped with greens chopped

two rutabagas peeled and chopped

a large yam peeled and cubed

1 large onion diced

1 bunch cilantro chopped stems and all

8 cloves of garlic crushed

2 carrots cleaned an sliced

2 stalks celery chopped

2 tablespoons grated fresh  ginger or 1 tablespoon dry ginger

salt and cayenne pepper to taste

2 tablespoons toasted sesame oil

enough water, veggie broth, or chicken or beef broth to cover plus two inches

Simmer mixture for an hour to an hour and a half until a rich broth is made and the vegetables are very tender

Eat two bowls a day 2 cups each or you can puree into a thick gruel, it’s quite tasty and you can add a couple of tablespoons of curry  powder as well as a can of coconut milk to make it into an Asian soup. This soup freezes well and is great for a 7-10 day fast.
