We are on day 14 of social distancing and shelter in place during the COVID-19 Pandemic.  One of my silver linings is that I have time to get my recipes written and onto the blog.  Plus, I have time to make and test them!  I have been desiring something rich and delicious and also know that my nervous system is not up for any non-whole food sweetener.  When I am in this place of sensitive digestion, emotions, and energy, the most nourishing sweetener for me is dates.  

​Dates are nourishing to the spleen (meridian) and boast lots of other vitamins and minerals such as vitamin A, thiamine and complex of vitamin B, folate, vitamin C and vitamin E, vitamin K, along with minerals like calcium, iron, magnesium, manganese, phosphorus, potassium, sodium and zinc.  Not bad for supporting overall health right now!  I also use high quality raw cacao powder in this recipe.  Cacao is rich in magnesium, iron, potassium, and zinc.  I notice that when I am craving chocolate, that what I am truly needing is minerals and particularly magnesium!  The cacao butter is rich in Omega 3 and Omega 6 fatty acids, a great support for the nervous system and for absorbing minerals.  Last, but not least, I add sprouted pecan pieces for crunch, protein, and overall deliciousness!

Many of the people that I am working with right now that are sick are being told to stay home. We also know that many that get sick will not receive hospital or medical care and home care will be very important for full recovery.  This is what I recommend having in the home to prepare for, prevent, and treat COVID-19.  Below are the home remedies that I have on hand and recommend. Some of these I also have available to the community. Right now, Amazon and most herbal companies are still shipping.

This is my personal list. It is so incredibly important that you all know that this is not medical advice.  Herbalists do not diagnose or treat. Even more important, in this situation, we just don’t know enough about this virus.  We are learning a lot from China right now about how COVID-19 shows up energetically in the body and how best to treat the virus.  That being said, the herbal and homeopathic community are still just speculating.  Again, home care will be very important with medical shortages and hospital overflow. Based on what we do know, below are my best recommendations for what I would want to have in the house.
