the root cause of springtime allergies is an overburdened liver. this especially happens in the spring after a winter of heavy foods. if we do not give our body the cleansing greens it needs to detox the liver in the spring, we may develop many negative symptoms such as allergies, rashes, digestive problems and excess anger. the liver governs your mood!
sour, bitter, green foods are ideal this time of year:
green leafy vegetables
lemons/limes
sprouts
beets and beet greens
drink dandelion tea to flush liver toxins
taste your herbs! tasting the herbs is an important part of the healing and detox process. the way some of the more bitter herbs taste in our mouth can indicate to us how toxic we are. when you start to enjoy these bitter herbs & greens more, you know you’re on the right track!
eat light!
cleanse your colon!
cleanse your life.
now, make this simple pesto and put it on everything!
in a blender or food processor:
1/2 c cilantro (stems too!)
1/2 c parsley (stems too!)
1/2 c dandelion greens
5 cloves raw garlic
1/2 c evoo or evao
2 T acv
2 T lime juice
1 t sea salt
1 t spirulina
1/4 t chipotle chili
-pulse or blend to desired consistency.

remember:
“plant medicines work beyond the physical response; sometimes, it’s your spirit or emotion that needs heeling, and plant medicines can address that also.” -karen rose
