Even a Bunny knows to Eat the Color Orange




Rabbits are famous for eating lots of green grasses and vegetables however; many fruits and vegetables in the orange color family are among some of their favorites.

The energy aspects of orange and the area of support in the body are the same with this color. It is the second chakra around the area of the navel. Any issues with authority females can cause energy to become stagnant in this area. That stagnation could have a negative effect on protein digestion ( small intestine ) as well as the healthy role of the uterus, ovaries and fallopian tubes. Many orange colored fruits and vegetables are shaped like a womb, which is why the ancients used them as medicine for hormonal balance. Pumpkins, Hubbard squash and papaya, when sliced open have a large cavity holding seeds, just like a fertilized uterus.
Carrots are high in organic sodium, Vitamin A and antioxidants. Papaya is high in Vitamin C which is needed for building collagen. It is also a female tonic as are peaches. Oranges are also high in Vit.C, thiamine and  are a balance  of organic sodium and potassium. There is always wild yam which traditional cultures through much of the western hemisphere have used as an anti-inflammatory especially for the uterus. It is high in the mineral manganese; considered by many holistic healers to be the ‘love mineral’ since often the placenta shows a shortage of this mineral in cases of miscarriage. 

If you have been diagnosed with leaky gut, nervous bowl, have discomfort in your abdomen or lack energy try including the color orange in your diet. You might even use orange placemats under your plates so your eyes pick up that orange light.  




Our western culture separates food from medicine but that has not always been the case with humankind. Hippocrates said “Let food be your medicine and let your medicine be your food.” All plants are complex mixtures of chemical substances that make specific chemical changes in the body. The ideal is when the body and its fuel are in harmony so balance is upheld.  Eat like a bunny to have perfect health.

Food as Medicine



In my Honduran community, there are families of various incomes. Almost half of my neighbors are still washing their laundry by hand and bathing from a hose or 5 gallon bucket. For people of lower incomes medicine is a great expense. So when they come to my gate with health problems I look to food as their medicine. If a health problem is going to separate people from their money, then let their medicine be  an investment in vitality. 
This belief was driven home this morning as I swept my patio floor. My cat eats a mixed diet that will  include canned tuna. This morning I noticed bits and pieces of tuna drying on the concrete where her plate sat the evening before. There were no ants.

The awareness brought back a lesson learned from a local fisher-woman. She offered to sell us a barracuda she had caught. My husband was suspicious because sometimes this fish can be toxic. When I mentioned my concern to the woman her head nodded in agreement. She then cut off a piece of the fish and placed it on some bark at the base of a tree. She said that if the fish was good the ants would find it in just a minute. Her explanation had barely finished when my gaze returned to the to the meat. It was already becoming covered with ants. Animals (including insects) in the wild will always choose the highest and best. 
Although my cat will eat tuna, she will not eat fish from the grocery store. Yet, she always eats fish I buy from local fishermen. Grocery store fish has invariably been treated with some chemical. Often it is formaldehyde; applied while at sea in an effort to keep fish from spoiling when longer days are necessary to fill the boat.




My rabbits are also keen judges of food. They will often turn up their noses at store-bought produce in preference to tasty morsels growing in my gardens. As maddening as this can be as I view my roses, I understand. It is all about the vitality needed for survival. This is something those living in an economic cultures are not taught. We learn about vitamins not vitality. Without vitality, healing cannot take place. Every level of healing requires vitality. It comes from things of the Earth: clean water, fresh air and minimally processed foods.
