SPRING ALKHEMY: Clearing, Replenishing, And Nourishing Your Body On All Planes

Herbs To Help You Maximise The Power of Spring

The way back to alignment with self comes by way of coming back into harmony with the Devine Mother, and Her natural cycles. As we move deeper into the Spring season in the northern hemisphere, we are surrounded by plants popping up that are here to aid us in the process of cleansing our bodies to make ourselves ready for a new harvesting cycle.

The wild plants that announce the arrival of Spring tend to be detoxifying, balancing, and fortifying. They are the gifts of the Earth that are presented to us in reminder that it is time to clear out any sluggish or stagnant energy that has accumulated through the slower months of Winter.

As such, these plants tend to work on the main processes of detoxification and elimination: the lymph, the blood, the kidneys, the liver, the colon, the spleen, and the many glands that support our body’s natural cleansing and defence mechanisms.

When beginning any protocol to cleanse and balance the body, the first area of focus needs to be the pathways of elimination. We eliminate toxins out of our body by way of the movement of our bowels, through urination, sweating, and breathing. This means that the colon, kidneys, skin, and lungs are the organs most directly involved in our eliminatory processes.

If these pathways of elimination are blocked, and we begin detoxing protocols, we are only re-poisoning our bodies. As such, the herbs that support the movement and clearing of these systems and the maintenance of their structures, are the ones we should focus on in providing the foundation of any spring cleanse.Note that many herbs which are emerging right now, work on all these parts of our systems in different ways.
