Baked Pears

Soft cooked pears are a balm for the heart and comforting in the tummy. Pear's sweet taste and the relaxing aroma of cardamom make for a light breakfast or soothing mid-day snack. Baking the pears makes them tender and brings out their sweetness. You'll enjoy all the affection and softness of a apple pie without feeling weighed you down.

Pears are a treat that calm the heart and relieve restlessness. They are a soothing and cooling balm for inflamed and irritated tissues - especially in the gut. This makes pear with cardamom the perfect breakfast after a night of drinking or overindulging in coffee. This meal gently relieves raw and upset intestines. Ever notice how pear juice is thicker than apple juice? This thickness is due to its soluble fiber and key to pear's comforting demulcent quality.

This formula is especially useful for heat conditions in the lungs, such as in asthma or bronchitis. Cooling pears are a natural expectorant and cardamom specifically breaks up mucus and opens up the airways of the lungs without aggravating inflammation.
