Cucumber noodles with crushed avocado and basil recipe

Cucumbers are rejuvinators on every level. They calm and cool a fiery mood, bring down fevers, cool over used organs such as the adrenals and liver, and hydrate the body right down to the cells. They also make wonderful spaghetti, perfect for a warm summer’s day.
