Sprouting Seeds - Natures Vitamin & Enzyme Factories

A growing body of research shows that pesticides and other contaminants are more prevalent in the foods we eat, in our bodies, and in the environment than we thought. Studies show that by eating organic or biodynamic foods, you can reduce your exposure to the potential health risks associated with those chemicals.

What is the Living Food Lifestyle?

Living food is provided by nature, organically grown in its original, uncooked state.

Live foods provide the body with the life-giving, easy-to-digest nourishment needed to strengthen the immune system. Seeds, grains, nuts, fruits and vegetables in their natural, uncooked state, are the living food used to rebuild health - physically, mentally, and emotionally.

The teachings of Ann Wigmore are simple, yet deeply rooted in the fertile grounds of love and compassion for humankind - planting generous and global seeds of hope and inspiration for those open and willing to receive change.

Here at Karma's Herbs, we want to support individuals in making life choices that promote health and well being in all aspects of their lives.

Design a most healthy lifestyle, so that you can experience the joyous living for which you have always longed, but thought was only possible in your dreams.

There are numerous benefits to both eating organic foods, and to biodynamic and organic gardening. You will receive a huge benefit that comes from a renewed relationship with nature. It starts with an "I won't poison you; you won't poison me" attitude, and ends with "I'll nurture and respect you; you nurture and respect me." Doing your own organic gardening makes this a personal commitment. Gardening is just plain good for the soul. There is nothing quite like getting your hands in the soil for really good "grounding".
In addition to the mental and emotional benefits of growing and eating organic food, there are also the physical benefits. These physical benefits can be pinned down to nutrients present in organic foods that are not in commercial foods and toxins not in organic foods that are present in commercial foods. Organic foods have much higher levels of nutrient minerals than non-organic food and much lower levels of heavy metals.
Here are a few of the nutrients found in higher levels in the organic foods:
* Chromium is a micronutrient that is low in Western diets. Its deficiency is associated with the onset of adult diabetes and atherosclerosis (hardening of the arteries). Chromium has been found to be higher in organic foods by an average of 78%.
* Selenium is one of the antioxidant nutrients that protects us from damage by environmental chemicals. It is protective against cancers and heart disease. It has been found to be an average of 390% higher in organic foods.
* Calcium, needed for strong bones, averages 63% higher in organics.
* Boron, which has been shown to help prevent osteoporosis (along with calcium), averages 70% more.
* Lithium, which is used to treat certain types of depression, is 188% higher.
* Magnesium, which reduces mortality from heart attacks, keeps muscles from having spasms, and eases the symptoms of PMS, averages 138% more.
In short, many of the minerals are found in much higher levels in organic foods.

Eating organic food, drinking pure water, and watching our airborne chemical exposure can have profound positive effects on our health.

The world in which we currently live is becoming starved of (amongst many things) good, healthy and nutritious food. The best answer to this predicament is to concentrate on BIODYNAMIC and ORGANIC LIVING FOODS!

Can the Earth heal itself, or has the waning of the Earth's vitality gone too far for this?

No matter where our land is located, if we are observant we will see sure signs of illness in trees, in our cultivated plants, in the water, even in the weather. Organic agriculture rightly wants to halt the devastation caused by humans; however, organic agriculture has no cure for the ailing Earth. From this the following question arises:

What was the original source of vitality, and is it available now?

Rudolf Steiner

Biodynamic Agriculture

Biodynamic agriculture is based on the "Agriculture Course" given by Rudolf Steiner in Koberwitz, near Breslau (Wroclaw), in 1924, in response to requests from farmers.

Farmers and gardeners who work biodynamically take account of the living interactions and rhythms deriving from both terrestrial and cosmic influences. Besides avoiding all chemical and synthetic fertilizers and pesticides, this involves crop rotation appropriate to the locality, animal husbandry and feeding adapted to the nature of each species, and social forms that go beyond the traditional family business.

Enlivening and enhancing of the soil occurs in connection with the biodynamic preparations, obtained from medicinal herbs, cow dung, quartz (silica) and animal remains, which work as remedies in tiny quantities. These promote the development of plants and their life forces by exercising a harmonising influence on them. Each farm becomes an "agricultural organism" and individual business entity through the harmonious interaction and development of human being, animal and plant.

The word "anthroposophy" means "wisdom of the human being," or, for us today, "awareness of one's humanity."

In 1924 Rudolf Steiner developed a course of study based on meditative exercises that lead «the spiritual in the human being to the spiritual in the universe.»

Knowledge of spirit can only be found by spiritual means. Anthroposophy offers an inner path of schooling to attain such knowledge. It takes its starting point from modern critical consciousness and our contemporary orientation toward technology and science. It is a kind of study and schooling that leads to concrete experience of the spiritual dimensions of the human being and the world.

Spiritual knowledge can be fruitful in various fields of life - in art, religion and science. Examples are education, medicine, pharmacy, agriculture, social work, economics and much else. Over time, about 10,000 institutions and initiatives have been founded that endeavour to apply anthroposophy.

In the Agriculture field, the focus is on soil management, crop cultivation, animal husbandry and the farm organism. Knowing and working with planetary-earthly correspondences is basic to the bio-dynamic method of agriculture, as practised worldwide.

Rudolf Steiner 1861-1925
Rudolf Steiner was born in Kraljevec (then Austria, today Croatia) on February 27, 1861, as the first child of Franziska and Johann Steiner, from Lower Austria and died on March 30, 1925 in Dornach, Switzerland.

Fresh organic vegetables every day from a square foot of counter space. Sprouts are a powerhouse of nutrition. They have been grown by many civilizations over the past 5,000 years. Sprouts are super foods because of their remarkable nutritional properties. Ounce for ounce, they provide more nutrients than any other natural food known.

Eat sprouts regularly, as they are nature's wonder food, rich in the essential alkaline minerals, and are the most nutrient dense foods we can eat.

Sprouts have outstanding nutritional value. They are rich in protein as well as vitamin A, the vitamin B complex, vitamin C and vitamin E, as well as various minerals and enzymes.

Natures Vitamin and Enzyme Factories

Most sprouts are ready to eat in 3-10 days.

All our sprouting seeds are un-treated and chemical free and whenever possible are supplied by sources Certified Organic.

A sprout is produced when a seed starts growing into a vegetable.

Sprouts can grow from the seeds of vegetables, from grains such as buckwheat, and from beans.

Sprouts vary in texture and taste. Some are spicy (Radish and Onion sprouts), some are hardy and are often used in oriental food (Mung bean), others are more delicate Alfalfa) and are used in salads and sandwiches to add texture and moistness.

Sprouts are one of the most complete and nutritionally beneficial of all foods.

Words to describe the work of Rudolf Steiner: unusual - not easy to approach - filled with stimulating ideas. His monumental projects of drafting an alternative science, a new pedagogy, new perspectives in medicine and agriculture, have entered into the spiritual heritage of the present time. They live in today's cultural life as an impulse and an inspiration.

The philosopher, scientist and Goethe scholar, Rudolf Steiner developed Anthroposophy as a «science of the spirit». An individual path of spiritual development, Christ-centred at its esoteric core, its fruits are visible in art, social forms and practical initiatives.

He found his life's work in the realms of consciousness and cognition.
His techniques for the development of awareness to nature's cycles, daily meditation and concentration practices, and clear critical thinking can lead individuals to reach spiritual levels of consciousness safely. He believed working along with the spiritual worlds enriches the life of the individual and the world.

A university student of mathematics, science and philosophy in Vienna, he later earned a doctorate from the University of Rostock. He edited the scientific writings of Goethe, whose approach, based on intensified, selfless observation of nature, became a source of inspiration for his own work. Steiner's doctoral dissertation dealing with Fichte's theory of knowledge was later expanded and published as Truth and Science. In 1894, he published The Philosophy of Freedom, which he felt to be his most important philosophical work.

Steiner brought forth out of his spiritual experiences an abundance of scientific, medicinal, agricultural, social, educational, architectural, and artistic renewal. Steiner called this science of spirit, Anthroposophy, meaning "wisdom of the human being." Anthroposophy is non-religious, and enhances many Buddhist, Christian, Muslim, and other traditional practitioners endeavours.

Author of almost thirty books, Steiner also gave approximately 6,000 lectures on a wide range of subjects. He initiated Waldorf education, biodynamic farming and gardening, an approach to the care and education of the handicapped, anthroposophical medical work, and an art of movement called eurhythmy.

The anthroposophical extended nutrition teachings differ in various aspects from the other alternative forms of nutrition, for example, whole-meal nutrition or food combining diet.

It not only has a natural scientific basis but has extended these teachings through the wholistic perspective of the human being as physical, vital, and soul-spiritual being.

Therefore people not only need nutrients but also impulses through the food for its physical vitality and soul-spiritual needs.

There are no fixed rules for the use of specific groceries for the each person. Everyone has to decide for themselves what works best for them.

Nutritional Principles

Nutrition affects the entire human being, that is to say, the body, but also his vitality and psycho-spiritual state of mind. For this reason, Rudolf Steiner began to give indications already in his earliest lectures 100 years ago on an appropriate nutrition, not just for an esotericist, but for all human beings. With the advent of biodynamic agriculture, this consciousness was extended to include not just the selection of foodstuffs like grains or potatoes, but also to the standard of their cultivation. Consequently, it is an agricultural method that is not just a service to the earth itself, but the products it produces provide healthy nutritional sustenance for people.

Dietary practices based on anthroposophical principles differ from other "alternative" diets, like the German Dr Werner Kolliath's whole foods diet (Vollwerternahrung) or the Hay Diet, in a number of ways. It expands the underlying knowledge of natural science in the sphere of nutrition with a wholistic view of the human being as an animated physical and soul-spiritual being. Consequently, a person does not simply require food products to feed himself, but needs also to take in life energies for his vitality and psychological and spiritual activities through what he eats. There are therefore no fixed prescriptions for the use of specific foods. Every person must decide for him or herself.

Diet is determined locally by the particular culture and agriculture of a region. One does not eat the same way in Asia as one does in America, and there are marked differences in how Southern and Northern Europeans eat. The Rye bread popular in Central and Eastern Europe is quite unusual in the Southern European countries and certainly in the tropics, and hence probably also of little value. In America a lot of Maize is consumed, in Europe not very often.

Millet, a common traditional grain in Africa, is relatively unknown in Asia. We must therefore conclude that nutrition is not something uniform, but has to adapt to individual needs, to the prevailing culture of the people, and to the climate. Anthroposophical nutritional guidelines leave much room for individual choice and take into account the local and cultural conditions.

Standards determining the quality of nutrition in its anthroposophical sense are significantly broader and more stringent than those conventionally accepted as scientific today. Not only the ingredients of a specific food are regarded as critical, but also the natural human influences which have determined its cultivation and processing. These are mainly the life energies of plant and animal and the conditions found along the various stages of preparation for sale to the consumer.
These forces have an active influence on the human being, in that they stimulate the digestion and metabolism, i.e. the central life processes in his system. The manner in which these forces are stimulated varies according to the type of food and the manner in which it is cultivated - a banana having a different effect to roast goose. Plants and animals acquire different inner forces. depending on the manner in which they live, their environment, and the type of care they receive from people, as well as, in animals, the way they are kept, whether they are able to move freely and have social contact amongst themselves. This also causes them to have different effects on the human being taking them in as nutriment.

The quality of foodstuffs

Biological Quality (Type of plant or animal)
Quality of Cultivation (Agricultural influences)
Quality of Processing
Quality of cooking or preparation

This expanded view of standards leads one to a different judgment and understanding of the suitability and effect of our foods. It is this that determines, amongst other things, the various guidelines set by the Demeter food standards or the dietary programs of anthroposophical institutions.

Nutrition was a popular theme at the time of Rudolf Steiner, due to the Reform Movement. In spite of this, the theme of nutrition was only really taken up later by representatives of the Biological-Dynamic agricultural movement and the movement for anthroposophical Medicine. Ehrenfried Pfeiffer dedicated himself to improving the quality of foodstuffs and nutrition. The Chemist, Rudolf Hauschka, conducted experiments in the field of nutrition, which he described in his book "Ernährungslehre" (study of nutrition).

Gerhard Schmidt led the Agricultural/Nutritional Section at the Goetheanum from 1963 - 1970 and, amongst other things, conducted experiments with Barley in nutrition, together with Udo Renzenbrink, in an attempt to restore the place of the lesser-known grains in the daily diet. Gerhardt Schmidt made his knowledge generally available in his book "Dynamische Ernährungslehre" (Dynamic Approach to Nutrition). Udo Renzenbrink in 1970 founded the research circle on nutritional science in Bad Liebenzell, Germany (today based in Bad Vilbel in Germany. His work led to a growing awareness in anthroposophical institutions for Nutrition and increasingly, for the introduction of grains into the general diet.

In order to include all 7 grains in one's diet, he developed a program in which, on each day of the week a particular grain, according to its ruling planet, is served (for example, Sunday = the sun and wheat). This allocation, while fairly controversial, has enjoyed wide acceptance and determines the menu of many institutions and families. It has its advantages in a rhythmic nutrition which is particularly healthy for children.

Nutrition in Practice

There are no blueprints for the exact programming of one's daily food intake. This rests within the freedom of the individual. What can be said, however, is that such an individualised approach presupposes that one occupies oneself to some extent with questions relating to nutrition, that one has a basis of knowledge and has made some experiences. Dietary recommendations are not prescriptions, but a help in choosing. They usually describe the effects of specific foods and provide a basis for making a decision.

Rudolf Steiner spoke of this in a lecture:

"You see, people tend to ask: is it better to drink alcohol or not to drink alcohol! Is it better to be a vegetarian or to eat meat! I don't ever tell anyone that he should enjoy alcohol or refrain from drinking it, or whether he should eat plants or meat. Instead, I tell them: alcohol works in such and such a way. I simply relate to him the effect that it has, and he can then decide if he wants to drink it or not. And I do the same in the case of eating vegetarian food or meat. I say: meat has such and such an effect and plants have this effect. And the result is that the person can then decide for himself. It is this that science must aim for above all else, namely respect for human freedom."

(R. Steiner: Nutrition and Consciousness.) (Ernährung und Bewußtsein. Themen aus dem Gesamtwerk Stuttgart 1994. S. 142f.)

As we can see, the main thing is to build up criteria for judgement that will help us find an appropriate diet. Certainly it is less comfortable than fixed rules, but is essential for our time.

Based on our judgement of individual foodstuffs, we can make specific recommendations. On the basis of these, whole-foods nutrition has been developed that uses grains as staple diet. The descriptions of Rudolf Steiner and the experiences of many different people have also led to the practice of eating fewer meat and fish products and favouring an ova-lacto vegetarian diet (with milk and eggs). This however, depends entirely on the choice of the individual and his or needs.

What is Biodynamic agriculture? In seeking an answer, let us pose the further question: Can the Earth heal itself, or has the waning of the Earth's vitality gone too far for this? No matter where our land is located, if we are observant we will see sure signs of illness in trees, in our cultivated plants, in the water, even in the weather. Organic agriculture rightly wants to halt the devastation caused by humans; however, organic agriculture has no cure for the ailing Earth. From this the following question arises: What was the original source of vitality, and is it available now?

Biodynamics is a science of life-forces, a recognition of the basic principles at work in nature, and an approach to agriculture which takes these principles into account to bring about balance and healing. In a very real way, then, Biodynamics is an ongoing path of knowledge rather than an assemblage of methods and techniques.

Biodynamics is part of the work of Rudolf Steiner, known as anthroposophy - a new approach to science which integrates precise observation of natural phenomena, clear thinking, and knowledge of the spirit. It offers an account of the spiritual history of the Earth as a living being, and describes the evolution of the constitution of humanity and the kingdoms of nature. Some of the basic principles of Biodynamics are:

Broaden Our Perspective
Just as we need to look at the magnetic field of the whole earth to comprehend the compass, to understand plant life we must expand our view to include all that affects plant growth. No narrow microscopic view will suffice. Plants are utterly open to and formed by influences from the depths of the earth to the heights of the heavens. Therefore our considerations in agriculture must range more broadly than is generally assumed to be relevant.

Reading the Book of Nature
Everything in nature reveals something of its essential character in its form and gesture. Careful observations of nature - in shade and full sun, in wet and dry areas, on different soils, will yield a more fluid grasp of the elements. So eventually one learns to read the language of nature. And then one can be creative, bringing new emphasis and balance through specific actions.

Practitioners and experimenters over the last seventy years have added tremendously to the body of knowledge known as Biodynamics.

Cosmic Rhythms
The light of the sun, moon, planets and stars reaches the plants in regular rhythms. Each contributes to the life, growth and form of the plant. By understanding the gesture and effect of each rhythm, we can time our ground preparation, sowing, cultivating and harvesting to the advantage of the crops we are raising. The Stella Natura calendar offers an introduction to this new study.

Plant Life Is Intimately Bound Up with the Life of the Soil
Biodynamics recognizes that soil itself can be alive, and this vitality supports and affects the quality and health of the plants that grow in it. Therefore, one of Biodynamics fundamental efforts is to build up stable humus in our soil through composting.

A New View of Nutrition
We gain our physical strength from the process of breaking down the food we eat. The more vital our food, the more it stimulates our own activity. Thus, Biodynamic farmers and gardeners aim for quality, and not only quantity.

Chemical agriculture has developed short-cuts to quantity by adding soluble minerals to the soil. The plants take these up via water, thus by-passing their natural ability to seek from the soil what is needed for health, vitality and growth. The result is a deadened soil and artificially stimulated growth.

Biodynamics grows food with a strong connection to a healthy, living soil.

Medicine for the Earth: Biodynamic Preparations
Rudolf Steiner pointed out that a new science of cosmic influences would have to replace old, instinctive wisdom and superstition. Out of his own insight, he introduced what are known as biodynamic preparations.

Naturally occurring plant and animal materials are combined in specific recipes in certain seasons of the year and then placed in compost piles. These preparations bear concentrated forces within them and are used to organise the chaotic elements within the compost piles. When the process is complete, the resulting preparations are medicines for the Earth which draw new life forces from the cosmos.

Two of the preparations are used directly in the field, one on the earth before planting, to stimulate soil life, and one on the leaves of growing plants to enhance their capacity to receive the light. Effects of the preparations have been verified scientifically.

The Farm as the Basic Unit of Agriculture
In his Agriculture course, Rudolf Steiner posed the ideal of the self-contained farm - that there should be just the right number of animals to provide manure for fertility, and these animals should, in turn, be fed from the farm.

We can seek the essential gesture of such a farm also under other circumstances. It has to do with the preservation and recycling of the life-forces with which we are working. Vegetable waste, manure, leaves, food scraps, all contain precious vitality which can be held and put to use for building up the soil if they are handled wisely. Thus, composting is a key activity in Biodynamic work.

The farm is also a teacher, and provides the educational opportunity to imitate nature's wise self-sufficiency within a limited area. Some have also successfully created farms through the association of several parcels of non-contiguous land.

Economics Based on Knowledge of the Job
Steiner emphasized the absurdity of agricultural economics determined by people who have never actually raised crops or managed a farm.

A new approach to this situation has been developed which brings about the association of producers and consumers for their mutual benefit. The Community Supported Agriculture movement was born in the Biodynamic movement and is spreading rapidly. Gardens or farms gather around them a circle of supporters who agree in advance to meet the financial needs of the enterprise and its workers, and these supporters each receive a share of the produce as the season progresses. Thus consumers become connected with the real needs of the Earth, the farm and the Community; they rejoice in rich harvests, and remain faithful under adverse circumstances.

The Building depicted in our header

The Goetheanum serves as the centre of the worldwide Anthroposophical Society and the seat of the School of Spiritual Science.

The first Goetheanum, a monumental double-domed wooden structure, richly carved and painted within, was begun in 1913. It opened in 1920 and was destroyed by fire on New Year's Eve 1922/23. In 1924 Rudolf Steiner presented his model for a second Goetheanum - the present one - made of reinforced concrete. Constructed between 1925 and 1928, it was the first large-scale building to employ this material for sculptural forms. Both buildings are based on an architectural concept in which each element, form and colour bears an inner relation to the whole and the whole flows organically into its single elements in a process of metamorphosis. The second Goetheanum and its neighbouring buildings were designed to harmonize with the local topography - the movement of the terrain and the rocky spurs of the Jura mountains visible from the Birs river valley, ten kilometres southeast of Basel.
