Vegetables
Lovage
(Levisticum officinale)
Ancient
Greek doctors were the first to mention the healing properties of
fresh leaves for digestion, assimilation, and the nervous system.
Romanian folk medicine would use it to cure lung and digestion
disorders or any kind of wounds. You may use it against
indigestion and hypo-acid gastritis - take a few teaspoons of
lovage tincture (mix lovage leaves with wine). You can also add it
into soup.
- exaggerated appetite - chew 4-5 fresh
leaves, half hour before eating. It produces the sensation of
hanger, but only for about ten minutes; then it disappears.
-
chronic chest disorders - bronchitis, cough, and tobacco cough -
drink one glass of juice/day: into 2-3 helpings. The cure should
last for two weeks and repeat it whenever needed.
-
constipation, colitis - drink lovage juice: one glass/day,
preferable in the morning. If fresh juice seems too fragrant, you
can dilute it with carrot juice.
- skin damage - wash lovage
leaves, smash it on a wooden table, cover it into lint and put it
on the painful spot. Keep the cataplasm for an hour, remove it and
then, let the skin dry out.
Celery (Apium
graveolens)
Few medicine are good for dis intoxication, re
rejuvenation and hormonal balance. But celery is filled with
vitamins, minerals and phytohormons. Folk medicine recommends
freshly squeezed juice made of leaves, celery wine and syrup
(mixed with honey). They are meant for increasing vigour, improve
skin damage, against sterility or aging.
In the
following, we shall point out several diseases which may be cured
with celery products:
- sterility (both male and female),
hormonal impotence - drink half glass of celery juice (leaves
made), each day, in the morning, and half, in the evening; the
cure should last for at least one month. Leaves juice is the best
hormonal remedy, better than root juice. Its effect is going to
last in time.
- amenorrhea - prepare a soak of celery leaves
and add smashed dill seeds (ten teaspoons of seeds, for each
liter). Take 2-3 teaspoons of wine before main meals. The cure
should last for a month, followed by a ten days-break and repeat
it afterwards. It regulates menstruation and prevents of negative
effects of medication against pregnancy.
- surrenal disorders
and chronic kidney disease - drink 1/4 glass of juice before main
meals; the cure should last for 3 weeks; take a 1-week break.
-
losing weight - half glass of celery juice (leaves only) - drink
it 20 minutes before eating; it helps eliminating water and losing
weight fast; it also regulates the activity of glands producing
cortisone (stress hormone);
- rheumatism, gout - drink 1-2
glasses of juice a day, for 21 days; it is perfect for old
people;
- skin disease - diuretic, dis intoxicant; drink 1-2
glasses/day; the cure should last for 24 days; we recommended it
in case of juvenile acnea, psoriasis, vitiligo, allergic eczema,
and sclerodermia.
Carrot leaves (Daucus carota)
-
they contain vitamin C and B-complex, magnesium, calcium, and
iron. Eat them while fresh – dis intoxicant, regenerating;
for healing wounds.
- tissue water retention - drink juice in
the morning and evening; the cure should last for a week; it is
not compulsory to stop the cure.
- colitis - drink one glass of
juice, in the morning and evening; you can also eat fresh uncooked
carrots (half kilo) during one day; the cure should last for 7
days in a row; eat no meat, fish or eggs.
- lack of minerals,
especially children and people recovering after different kinds of
disease: dry carrot leaves, slice them and add them to your soup
(5-6 spoons for one litre of soup); boil it for a few minutes; the
soup will be rich in minerals which may be easily assimilated.
-
intoxication with heavy metals - eat green salad/each meal; dress
it with fresh carrot leaves; a cure should last for a month - 3
salads/day, before main meals.
Parsley leaves (Petroselinum
hortense)
Use it in case of:
- biliary lythiasis - drink
2-3 glasses/day, on empty stomach.
- auxiliary in case of liver
cirrhosis - drink one glass of juice on empty stomach, half hour
before each meal; the cure should last for 3 weeks, 1-week

lemon juice, little oil and one tomato; eat it with two slices of
toast, before breakfast and dinner.

receipt for preparing the salad).
-
blepharitis, conjunctivitis - use compress with parsley leaves'
juice; keep them for 20-30 minutes; the cure should last for at

In order to produce the best result,

products and vegetables;
- add them into your soup after
cooling it off, or in salad;
- eat them as such, dressed with a
little lemon and oil;

In
the following paragraph, we shall point out a few receipts of
juice:
Juice - I
- use an electric blender; take
a handful of sliced fresh leaves, add 1/3 glass of water; mix them
for 2-3 minutes and store them for 15 minutes. Filter or sift it.
You get almost a glass of juice. Drink it into one helping on
empty stomach, in the morning. For cleaning blood, drink 2 glasses
of juice: in the morning and evening.
Juice - II
-
slice a handful of vegetable leaves. Put them into a glass pot or
pottery cup and add a glass of warm water; let them soak for 4
hours and filter it. You get more than a glass of juice. It tastes
strong. Drink it on empty stomach, while fresh. In case you do not
dilute it with water, you should reduce the daily doses: not more
than 100-150 ml/day.
Vegetable soak into
wine
- slice the leaves, put them into a jar (3/4), add
natural wine (white). Seal the jar and let the mixture soak for 2
weeks, then filter it. Drink 1-2 spoons/before main meals. People
who cannot tolerate alcohol, should drink natural juice only.
