Summary

Our fast-paced lives can make it difficult to perceive the healing properties of the very elements that surround us: in water, fire, air, and earth. Felicia Cocotzin Ruiz, the author of "Earth Medicines", invites us to slow down and receive healing from the earth and its elements. Today, she shares recipes and insights that shed new light on the ancient healing that we may be overlooking which is ubiquitous, if not right under our very noses.
