OrganicThis porridge recipe, (recipe is below) comes from Dian Cecht, the healing god of the Tuatha dé Danaan, an ancient race of people who became the Fairies of Ireland. My course - an Introduction to Herbal Medicine - teaches the benefits of the herbs in this recipe as well as how to care for yourself and your family. Take a look here - https://www.danusirishherbgarden.com/product/an-introduction-to-herbal-medicine-a-6-month-digital-course__trashed/ If you are interested in Irish mythology and would also like to develop a practice for connecting more deeply with the Earth and with the Divine Feminine, consider my transpersonal course, Wise Woman Way training. This course follows the Celtic Wheel of the Year and introduces you to druidic and shamanic practices. https://www.danusirishherbgarden.com/wise-woman-way/ Dian Cecht was a healer and a surgeon and was renowned for creating a silver prosthetic arm for Nuada, the king who had been injured in battle. He used food, herbs, enchantments and a sacred well in his healing work. This porridge was said to cure 14 different disorders of the stomach as well as helping to heal sore throats, colds and removal of phlegm. Here is the recipe:- Organic Oat groats, soaked overnight or for a couple of hours at least. Alternatively use Oat flakes/rolled Oats. Collect some Dandelion leaves, Chickweed, Sorrel and Hazel buds. I also added some Hazel catkins. Simmer the porridge in milk and water - to suit your own taste - and then add the fresh chopped herbs. When the herbs have simmered in the porridge for 5 mins or so, the porridge is ready. Enjoy with some honey. The herbs are all beneficial to the digestive system as they are cooling, soothing, demulcent, encourage enzymes, improve bile flow and cleanse the blood. As spring time progresses you could add fresh Cleavers and Nettles. For a more savoury porridge you could add wild Garlic. Do let me know if you try this recipe.

I find it amazing that people from such diverse backgrounds and cultures can meet and make jokes together! https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wN6qPJm1hmg You can follow Danu's Irish Herb Garden here - https://www.instagram.com/danusirishherbgarden/ https://www.patreon.com/user?u=11781499&fan_landing=truehttps://www.paypal.com/paypalme/danusirishherbgarden?locale.x=en_US Thanks for watching - please subscribe !
