“If the rose is burnt, it bears better flowers; for then, they say, the roses are improved.” This phoenix-like characteristic of the rose may be why the Persians traditionally depicted the tree of life as a rose tree on their carpets and tapestries. Rose hips can contain between 1500-2500 grams of Vitamin C per 100 grams of weight.

Mankind�s Old Friend Fenugreek (Methi)

Fenugreek is easy to sprout and the sprouts make a spicy, crisp addition to any meal. Soaked in water and rinsed periodically for 4-5 days, fenugreek sprouts are high in vitamin A, C and B as well as iron, calcium, silicon, selenium and high levels of protein, most notably the amino acid 4-hydroxyisoleucine which increases production of insulin when blood sugar is high, making it very useful for treating diabetes. A strange side effect of sprouting fenugreek is the strong maple syrup (with celery undertones) aroma the seeds release as they soak up the water. Fenugreek is also used to make maple-syrup flavor, which has caused outbreaks of distress in New York City since it�s first mass smelling in October of 2005. MORE

Part of the frustration that we have seen in psychoanalysts take on our generation is because they never could figure us out.
