With the Spring Equinox just around the corner, hints of the coming season of renewal are well underway. There are small pink buds on my cherry tree in my front yard. I am anticipating the day that is warm enough to open the windows and let in the fresh air once again.
It’s natural to want to cleanse this time of year, whether it’s cleaning your house or your body. I love going through drawers and closets and purging old things I no longer need or want, gathering items for donation. I also enjoy using herbs and essential oils to cleanse and detoxify my body.
Danny and I came up with a springtime herbal blend a few years ago designed to cleanse the liver, blood and digestion. It is a gentle cleansing and nearly anyone can do it. Don’t worry, it’s not something you need to stay home on a Saturday camped out in the bathroom to do. The effects are noticeable and rewarding. And while some people may experience a “health crisis” (a greater purging of toxins), most don’t find it to be all that dramatic.
Our experience using this herbal blend was that by the end of the day, we both felt lighter, we could breathe easier and we noticed that we felt happier. No longer feeing weighed down by the sludge of winter, we felt renewed and ready to take on the spring.
