Mary worked with tropical diseases and physical injuries of the men during the Crimean war. So children around the world might ask why did we only hear about Florence Nightingale .
Was it because Mary was an incredible natural healer that healed animals in her childhood.
Was it because Mary was of mixed color. Or was it because she was more successful at nursing people in her healing hotel. We surely have the right to ask the historians of the British nation - why wasn't Mary Seacole given the same charitable funding and support that Florence Nightgale was given.
Why hasn't Mary been honored as the great woman that she was. Is it because she knew the importance of food in the recovery of patients. Could she do things that her wholly British counterparts were not doing at that time.
Is it because the great work of the woman was more powerful than anything that they had seen before. We are aware that Florence did not approve of Mary's unconventional methodology. Is that because the supporters of Florence didn't approve of the methods.
Mary Seacole worked with vibrational medicine in the same way that I have done during my career as a healer. What did Reiki Master Teachers - teach our students - to give healing to the food that we eat. We blessed the food that we shared and gave thanks for it. Making sure that everything that we ate was healthy for the people on the training courses.
Seacole had both a Caribbean and Scottish heritage and she loved England. I have more in common with the great healing work of Mary Seacole than any medical doctor I've ever met.
Its clear that Mary was intuitive and was probably clairvoyant as well. When she met Florence she said that she was looking for the 'Hollander in the darkness'. So what do the historians have to say about that.
Our Mary Seacole soup is Celery - Swede and Coconut Cream Soup.
RECIPE
Half of a large swede diced.
Large pan of water
Two large cloves of garlic
2 thirds of a celery (I'd already eaten a third of it fresh) slices.
A few green cabbage leaves for extra color and flavor - cut thinly.
Pink salt and black pepper to suit your taste.
Carton of Coconut Cream
Cook until all ingredients are soft - I don't have a food processor - so I mash with a potato masher during
cooking. When cooked - add a carton or tin of coconut cream. 250ml
CELERY
The compounds in celery hold up well during cooking. Celery has potassium - Vit C and Calcium.
Celery contains "Phthalide" and it was scientifically found to relax the muscles of the arteries and allow vessels to dilate. It reduces 'stress hormones' called 'catecholamines' in the blood. As such it is essential for people that are about to or have had operations. Celery is excellent for the adrenals that impact on the kidneys as well. I view celery as a great cleanser and detoxifier - fresh its crunchy and great with cream cheese to snack on.
Source book used for scientific information is 'New Foods for Healing' by Selene Yeager and the editors of Prevention Health Books. Every mum should have one of these little books. It is packed full of incredible information to unlock your healing potential with food.
SWEDE
A great root vegetable and its important to eat seasonal food whenever possible. The vibration of the seasons and the land on which you live.
'Swede has a good mineral content including calcium, magnesium, phosphorus, potassium and manganese. It is low in saturated fat and relatively high in sugars. It also provides some fibre and vitamins A and C.'
Interesting that in Scotland this hardy vegetable is known as 'NEEPS and I do like it mashed with butter with a sunday roast.
COCONUT
What can we say about coconut - the miracle worker. Just as Mary Seacole was a miracle worker. I even clean my teeth with coconut oil. Coconut is so versatile and I do like sate. Listen to Dr Bruce Fife he has written a book about it.
