Gotu Kola – the longevity herb!


Hi Everyone, Gotu Kola (Centella Asiatica) really is a magical herb. Not only is it full of minerals — calcium, potassium, sodium, magnesium, phosphorous, manganese, chromium, zinc, selenium, iodine, silicon, germanium and cobalt — but it contains awesome phytonutrients known as triterpenoids. Triterpenoids promote collagen formation and have been shown to concentrate antioxidants into damaged tissue and increase the blood supply as well. Germanium is essential for the regeneration of DNA and for maximising nutritional wellbeing in the body. It also activates oxygen within the body enabling more to be available to the tissues and helps to restore T-cell balance thus heightening immune system function. Cobalt is the key mineral holding vitamin B12 together and yes, you get vitamin B12 in Gotu Kola. The Chinese herbologist Professor Li Chung Yun outlived 23 wives and claimed one of his major nutritional staples was Gotu Kola. He was born in 1677 and died in 1933 — he lived an amazing 256 years, and it is documented by the Chinese government who celebrated his 150th and 200th Birthday with him. He still gave 3 hours lectures on longevity at the age of 200 for 28 weeks at a time. Ginseng was another herb promoted by Professor Li as contributing to maximum health and longevity (ginseng also contains germanium). He was a strict vegetarian who ate herbs that grew above the ground only and fruit of high alkaline mineral content — the soils in which he cultivated his foods

Betty’s Herb Butter Recipe


In this video, Betty demonstrates how to make a lovely and tasty Herb Butter. You can use it on fresh bread, or bread that is hot out of the oven, or on toasted bread. You can also spread it on French Bread, Italian Bread, and other specialty breads, and heat it in the oven. It is showy and delicious! Ingredients: ½ cup butter, softened to room temperature (Note: the herbs listed below are fresh herbs. You may substitute dry herbs in place of them, but use only 1/3 as much of the dried herbs.) ½ to 1 tablespoon curly parsley, minced (You may use flat Italian parsley, if you prefer.) ½ to 1 tablespoon chives, minced ¼ to ½ tablespoon fresh rosemary, minced In a small mixing bowl, mix ½ cup softened butter with the desired amount of parsley, chives, and rosemary. Mix until the herbs are evenly distributed throughout the butter. Place herb butter in a pretty serving bowl and chill. Remove your herb butter from the refrigerator and soften before serving with bread. You may spread it on a baked loaf of bread that has been cut lengthwise and place it in a 350 degree oven for 10 minutes. It will be crispy and gorgeous on top, but soft inside. You may also slice your loaf of bread and place the slices in a 350 degree oven for 10 minutes, and then spread individual pieces with herb butter, as desired. Either way, it is a real treat, and looks very nice with a special meal! I hope you enjoy it! –Betty 
