What is a Healing Food?

Here at Permission to Heal, when we talk about healing foods, we are talking about what supports the body in it's natural processes and functioning. And what happens to support the body in it's natural processes most are pure, natural foods that don't have a bunch of chemicals added to them and haven't undergone any undue processing.

The only cooking methods that I feel still fit into this category are steaming and boiling (for 30 minutes of less). Please do not include ingredients like packaged foods with additives or preservatives and PLEASE no animal or dairy products, unless you are promoting a farm or source that is HIGHLY SUSTAINABLE AND RESPONSIBLE IN IT'S PRACTICES. And if this is the case, please provide information on how to contact the manufacturer and/or obtain the ingredients. Of course we also like to promote local, organic, fair-trade and the like.

With that said, I welcome you to make a difference for others by sharing those meals that have made a difference for you. How do you get your smoothies in? What healthy versions of your favorite desserts do you enjoy? And how'd you figure out how to turn grandma's famous hearty stew into the most comforting, nourishing, additive and preservative-free soup that warms you inside and out? This is what we are hungry for with these recipes!

Thank you for reading and making the Healing Recipes section so popular on the site! It's been fun sharing. I look forward to more delicious recipe ideas!


Constant Healing!
