For thousands of years, food has been prescribed as a natural form of medicine. Certain foods are renowned for their healing powers and regenerative benefits. But it’s not the nutritive properties that carry the healing powers, it’s the essence of the food itself. All food contains information about nature–the seed planted in soil, grown in fresh air, with the energy of the sun. This information is more powerful than the food itself.

Mung beans may not be as exciting a food as some other superfoods, but their benefits top the charts. From an energetic perspective, mung beans are a surefire way to support your entire body while relieving itchy skin rashes, and detoxing and strengthening your Stomach and Liver. Most illnesses are related, on an energetic level, to poor Liver function, so it is especially important to give this organ a boost. And even though Spring is the season of the Liver, mung beans can be used throughout the year, with an added side-effect of beautiful, glowing skin.
