The Season of Spring

The best time for new beginnings is now.....

In ancient Chinese medicine, each season is associated with an organ of the body. Spring is linked with THE LIVER and is the ideal time for detoxification and to harness the expansive energy of Spring to help with the outflow of toxins.

Your liver is constantly working away in the background, detoxifying all the harmful substances that are part of every day life; chemicals in your food, air and water, and medications to name a few....

Here are 3 tips to give your liver some love and attention:

Treat your liver to a home spa and bathe in 3-4 cups of Epsom Salts. Rich in magnesium, the salts help draw out acids and toxins from the body, thereby taking the pressure off the liver.

Turmeric is a great food for the liver. It is a powerful antioxidant. Try making some turmeric rice - add 3/4grams of turmeric, chilli powder, sea salt to a bowl of cooked rice.

Give your liver a lovely cleanse with this delicious cleansing juice - combine the juice of 2 carrots, a handful of watercress, and a quarter of a red pepper. Full of antioxidants to protect the liver it is great first thing in the morning as the peppery taste of the watercress will wake you up!
