As the weather warms and the plants stir under melting snow, so do our spirits return after a harsh north east winter. As the earth transitions, so do our bodies emerge to flow with the rhythms of Spring. Our inner fluids begin to move just as the sap runs through the veins of the tree. Our lymph system and organs of elimination are in need of support as we release the stagnation of winter.
This gentle herbal blend was formulated to support the release our bodies go through as we shed our winter armor and prepare for the renewal Spring brings. Cleansing and nourishing, these herbs support our body's natural detoxification process while supplying fortifying vitamins and minerals we may be craving after a long winter. I like to drink our Wholesome Spring Blend this time of year to rejuvenate my body, mind, and spirit.
For the most therapeutic results, I like to add a handful of this blend to a quart jar, cover with boiling water, cap tightly, and steep overnight, or at least 6 hours. Reheat as needed or drink at room temperature throughout the day. You may also steep 1 tbsp. to a mug of boiling water for at least 20 minutes. Make sure to cover your mug to preserve all of the nutrients and essential oils!
