Natto Miso

Hi Anne and Stephanie,

I mentioned Natto miso, not natto, its self. Natto Miso is a chutney-like condiment made out of barley, miso, kombu, ginger and barley malt. It is espically good on whole oats, for breakfast. I also like to use it occasionally in Nishimi dishes, espically on whole, steamed, small onions, cooked in this style.

I noticed that when I had a hard time getting up in the morning, dried daikon tea helped. I took it every morning for ten days. Do you ever try Sweet Vegetable Tea? This might also help to lighten up your condition. These are very safe types of all purpose remedies that most people benifit from. Again it is very difficult to tell about your condition, not physically being in contact with you. I'm just relaying my experiences :)

The liver controls rising energy and dried daikon tea helps clean out and lighten the LV. Of course it is still difficult for one to ascertain this via computer! Just sharing my experiences.

Thanks,

: Hi Stephanie,

: Tekka is a root vegetable condiment made of miso and
: various root vegetables that have been sauteed
: together for a long time and cooked down into a
: concentrated black powder. It's supposed to be a blood
: strengthener. However it is also extremely yang and
: should only be used in very small amounts. I would ask

: a fermented soybean product that looks like baked
: beans connected by long sticky strands. It is supposed
: to aid the intestinal tract. It can be made with koji,
: a grain starter also used in making miso and tamari
: soy sauce.---Annie
