Felicia Cocotzin Ruiz, a respected Curandera (Mexican traditional healer) and medicine maker, draws on the power of water, air, earth, and fire for her recipes and rituals reminding us that the elements are the origins of everything and can heal not only our body but our mind and spirit as well.
In her first book, Earth Medicines: Ancestral Wis-
dom, Healing Recipes, and
Wellness Rituals from a Curandera, she shares her expertise, time-honored natural remedies and life-balancing regimens in a movement to reclaim the kitchen healer approach to health and wellness with Indigenous wisdom and whole food cooking.
The book is organized into sections highlighting each of the four elements.
Water represents purity and transformation, serving as a foundation for many spiritual practices around the world.
Air represents freedom, movement, and direction, and it works as a messenger, carrying the other elements.
Earth is the collective home for all life, teaching us about cycles and reciprocity.
And Fire is the transmutative energy that awakens our hearts and helps us move through times of great transformation.
Recognizing and harnessing the power of these elements, readers are empowered to: • find inner harmony with Lung Support Infusions, Rosemary Tonic, and Ginger Fire Honey Chews • promote beauty inside and out with Mineral-Rich Hair Moisturizer, Botanica Face Steam Ritual, Vitamin C Booster for Dull Skin, and Fierce Tigress Body Balm • take care of the spirit by creating an ancestral altar, making sacred incense, and taking time for practices like the Mayan Bajo Steaming Ritual.
See pages 10 and 11 for healing tasty recipes.
