We love stories like this because they highlight the remarkable, undiscovered treasure-chest that lies all around us. Nature’s gifts are not only free but wonderful – and if only we would cherish them a little more highly, we would be further enriched in return.

The report we are sharing is about the plant Purslane (Portulaca oleracea) – a very common plant that grows all over the place. It’s interesting to note that while it is considered a weed in some countries, it is actually cultivated as food in others!

Ok, here’s the link to the full report and tutorial on this wonder plant – which also includes an amazing collection of purslane recipes! 🙂
Just a Weed, or an Unrecognized Health-Boosting Plant?

Here are a couple of other plants that are also considered weeds but have fantastic uses either culinary or medicinal (or both): plantain and dandelion. We’ve also sourced and amazing list of 40+ Amazing Things To Do With Dandelions.

ps. Some fairly obvious but important notes – if you are gathering Purslane (or any plant for that matter) for herbal or culinary use, please be sure not to pick from areas that may have been sprayed with weedkiller or areas were the soil might be polluted. Also, while Purslane is fairly easy to recognize, don’t use any plant unless it’s identity is absolutely certain. Oh, and of course please don’t take anything from someone else’s land without permission. There are plenty of really good books out there on plant identification and wild harvesting; check out this classic – Richard Mabey “Food For Free”.

😳 Tinnitus And Brain Health?

After 47 years of studies and countless brain scans done on more than 2,400 tinnitus patients, scientists at the MIT Institute found that in a shocking 96% of cases, tinnitus was actually shrinking their brain cells.

As it turns out, tinnitus and brain health are strongly linked.

Even more interesting: The reason why top army officials are not deaf after decades of hearing machine guns, bombs going off and helicopter noises…

Is because they are using something called "the wire method", a simple protocol inspired by a classified surgery on deaf people from the 1950s...

The #1 Muscle That Eliminates Joint And Back Pain, Anxiety And Looking Fat

By Mike Westerdal CPT

Can you guess which muscle in your body is the #1 muscle that eliminates joint and back pain, anxiety and looking fat?

This is especially important if you spend a significant amount of time sitting every day (I do, and this really affects me in a big way!)

Working this "hidden survival muscle" that most people are simply not training because no-one ever taught them how will boost your body shape, energy levels, immune system, sexual function, strength and athletic performance when unlocked.

If this "hidden" most powerful primal muscle is healthy, we are healthy.
