Extra special post as this week we are celebrating our seven year anniversary in the Algarve. It was seven years ago that we started the Ceratonia project.
This is the end of one cycle and we are now beginning a new cycle of discovery, adventure and growth.
No better way to celebrate than sharing The mighty Fig❣️

The Fig - Ficus carica Moraceae same family as my beloved Mulberry.
Here at Ceratonia we have the gorgeous purple figs as well as the sweet delightful white ones.
The fruits have a high nutrient content such as B vitamins, Vitamin K, potassium, Magnesium and copper.
These wonderful sweet fruits give energy, strengthen and heal connective tissues and neurotransmitters.
Emollient, diaphoretic, demulcent, nutritive, laxative, mild expectorant, digestive, pancreatic, prebiotic, and diuretic. Antibacterial and antiparastic.
Figs are good for Piles (internal and external).
Any constipation. Colic. Poor bile flow.
Soothing to inflamed tissue. mucilaginous. Healing to internal ulcers, give immune strength and the cleansing action helps to clear gout. Great for skin, including allergic or dry itchy skin.
Just a note some people can be allergic to the fresh latex. In the past I have had a little reaction but this year not at all!
The inside of the fruit can be applied as a poultice to boils and carbuncles.
The leaves also contain flavonoids, phenols and have an antioxidant action. Research has shown the leaves to help in cancer, diabetes and herpes.
Syrup or decoction from the leaves or unripe green figs are good for shortness of breath, hoarseness, lung problems and coughs.
All parts of The Fig supports and gives health to Circulation, vision, the lungs and the kidneys.

In India The Fig Tree has been a place for Buddhists to meditate and to become enlightened. The Fig tree has become known as the symbol of consciousness.
The essence of the Fig help with self acceptance and flexibility. Helps to go with the flow, have a sense of humour and is self liberating.
Gratitude to this wonderful Tree.
