Re: What are you eating?
Thanks Gary.
Not to be greeedy, about the questions, but can anyone recommend a particular guide to macrobiotic teas? I am a big fan of herbal remedies, thanks to a book I once read by Laurel Vukovic (14 Day Herbal Cleansing). However, while reading about macrobiotics, I am being exposed to new names of teas. I have not heard of bancha tea. Jessica Porter mentioned a rice fast, in order to clear the mind, in which the person ate only brown rice and drank twig tea for a few days. What excaclty is twig tea? I use a few herbs which could be considered "twigs."
Why is brown rice preferred over basmati? I have studie a little of ayurveda health, where basmati rice it advocated for its healing power, but it seems that macrobiotics replaces basmati with brown rice. Are the healing properties that different, or was brown rice simply more available in Japan, where macrobiotics is rooted?
I am so happy that I found this web site!!! I have been collecting questions for a while. Thanks again. Kristin
