The humble Avocado for Fertility, Reproductive Health & Hormonal Nourishment

According to the Doctrine of Signatures, the appearance, shape, and qualities of a plant indicate the organs or systems it benefits.

For the avocado –

• Its pear like shape resembles the womb and female reproductive organs.

• The seed inside symbolises fertility and potential new life.

Not only does it give my Green Goddess dressing that luscious texture without needing processed oils or thickeners, it’s also a nutritional powerhouse

1. Healthy fats

Avocados are rich in monounsaturated fats (mainly oleic acid) —which  support healthy cholesterol levels and reduce inflammation.

2. Fuel for hormones & brain health

Good fats = happy hormones. Avocados provide the raw material your body needs to make sex hormones like estrogen, progesterone, and testosterone. Also rich in fat soluble vitamin E which is great for skin, mood and brain clarity.

3. Packed with potassium & fibre

One avocado has more potassium than a banana. Plus, the soluble and insoluble fibre helps regulate blood sugar, promote healthy digestion fuel for your gut bacteria (microbiome).

4. Skin health

Rich in Vitamin E, C and phytonutrients (compounds found in plants), avocado nourishes your skin from the inside out.

 5. The perfect whole food thickener

Avocado adds creaminess without needing mayo, dairy, or nasty toxic seed oils such as canola, rape seed, sunflower seed, “vegetable” oil.
