00:02Look, I'm a broad woman.
00:04This is why the Europeans call us the people.
00:08It is because of the lejos.
00:10My name is Irka Mateo, and I come from the Dominican Republic,
00:15and I have been a mother for 31 years.
00:22What I made today is a remedy for the anemia.
00:30In the indigenous cultures, we respect life for everything that is on Earth.
00:35So we go to the Bija plant, and we say,
00:38Bija, I'm going to do some remedy for anemia,
00:42and I need some of your seeds.
00:46We're going to smash it.
00:51This song is an indigenous song to the ancestors,
00:55calling them to say, we honor you.
00:57So now what we do is we pour the wine.
01:05So now I'm going to put the molasses.
01:08This is that contains iron.
01:10So this is the part of the remedy that is for the anemia.
01:16I love it.
01:18We're going to put now the honey.
01:20The honey is an energizer.
01:22So at the same time that you're healing of the anemia,
01:26this remedy makes you feel right away like with more energy.
01:31Healing is also spiritual.
01:33Now you need to connect to the spirit of the person,
01:36to the energy of the ingredients that you're using.
01:39There is a depth to this.
01:43So now that we have our remedy for the anemia,
01:47and also it serves as an energizer,
01:50we are going to test it with our beautiful assistant, Lydia.
01:55I'm excited. This looks delicious.
02:01It looks really good.
02:03Feel energized already.
02:05Yes.
02:06Go jump there.
02:08Jump in life.
