Day 18

We are still on storm watch. The models show that early next week it should start turning north but right now it is due east of us and getting stronger. We should be getting the outside arms of the storm by tomorrow. But we are all prepared.

Moringa branch

One of the supplements I started taking here is a plant called "moringa oleifera". It is one of those foods that is packed with good things and so you only need to take it instead of a dozen different herbs. Moringa is especially good for nursing mothers. It is very common around here. Karen and Tom have a moringa tree here on their property. Many people grow the tree and then just use the leaves off of the tree. But I'm taking it in capsules.  I want to plant a moringa tree when I get home.

Here is a web site that talks about a few of moringa's uses and properties:
