..who does not fall in love with this sympathic flower who turns her face towards the sun, being almost as tall as you and me, always showing a smile on her face.. With her big leaves she seems to welcome you and even in her older ages she still looks good. By showing you that this is one of my favourite pictures of sunflowers.
This flower offers many benefits as we can eat its warming seeds that are giving energy to our body and is good for the health of the heart. Sunflower seeds are a nice little extra if you want to present a special menu. I also add them into my breakfast routine.
The oil of the sunflower also has skin protecting effects.
Many people use the sunflower oil in the morning to pull the oil in their mouth to gain not only oral hygiene but also for gaining a general strenghtening of health. One pulls the oil between the teeth for about half an hour so during that period the whole blood and lymph circulation is going to get activated. As this method has an antibacterial effect, make sure you don’t swallow the oil but spit it out.
On my table these yellow blossoms always bring the sun into the room!
