Boost your immune health with homemade sauerkraut
When we eat unpasteurised, freshly fermented vegetables, such as sauerkraut and kimchi, we are giving our immune system as well as our gut a big health boost.
Sauerkraut contains numerous species of Lactobacillus, and more recently it's been discovered that it also contains species of Weissella alongside other beneficial bacteria. Recent research confirms that many of these bacteria are of particular benefit to our gut health and to strengthening our immune system.
The prebiotic inulin, found in onions, garlic, bananas, Jerusalem artichokes, chicory, is also a perfect booster for gut and immune health. Prebiotics are the food of our good gut bacteria.
Making your own sauerkraut, fermented kale, sprouts and other vegetable ferments is easy when you understand how. Come to my online Workshop this Saturday (also available as a recording). Details on my Fermentation page

Brushing up well
It helps to:
- Remove the top layer of skin that holds some acidity and toxins.
- Move lymph through the whole body, aiding with removal of toxins.
- Stimulate and improve the circulation
- Stimulates the skin, helping it to eliminate wastes also.
Avoid brushing varicose veins, rashes or open wounds.
If you are constipated, address this problem before working with skin brushing as mucus and toxins will be released into the bowel after using this technique. Better to wait until constipation has eased.
First buy a natural bristle brush, preferably with a handle, so you can reach your back. Do not use the brush for other purposes, or get it wet.
This technique is best done first thing in the morning, before showering or washing. Use the brush dry and work with the skin dry.
Brush the skin as vigorously as is comfortable with the brush, working from the extremities towards the heart all the time. Begin with the feet, then your legs. Work hands, then arms. Finally brush your body, working all the time towards your heart.
Pay particular attention to hands and feet, but include all parts of your body, excepting your face and any other delicate areas.
Spend 2-3 minutes on this technique daily and you will be rewarded with glowing healthy skin, improved circulation and a wide-awake approach to your day.
