"Mary Stetler, You can eat them as well but not as natural medicine....I believe they lose the "healing power" when headed. They are about the size of a 5 cents coin and whitish _.PLEASE, DO NOT BITE THEM WHEN RAW...THEY ARE QUITE BITER..
I've only just heard of them today from Silvia Benoit. All my great knowledge happened when I looked them up.
Swallow the whole and raw? Pickled? This info is all new to me and I need it complete. I am only finding bits and pieces.
Mary Stetler, You will place three or four RAW beans in a glass of water overnight...(this will make them quite soft)...then, before any other food, SWALLOW THEM ONE BY ONE with a glass of water. The benefits won't be "immediate"....it took three months before my mother started to move her fingers free of pain...and about six months to move them freely.
I am excited to try this. Thank you. Very few natural 'medicines' work instantly. I can only think of one off the top of my head.
