So today it's Mother's Day where we celebrate our own mothers, being a Mum and everything to do with motherhood, today and everyday..........
One precious lady we must celebrate too is our Mumma Earth, for she provides for us, nutures us, puts up with our tantrums and loves us endlessly unconditionally.
She is now blossoming into glorious springtime 🌱🌷🥀🌾🌼 and like the beautiful lotus flower, emerging from the mirk into the daylight, pushing through and unfolding.......just as we are.
Springtime is a cleansing time and foraging is in abundance........
Today I introduce the wonderful CLEAVERS, a fantastic Herbal Spring Clean......sticky w**d as we know it, now growing young and succulent and full of nutritional properties
Found at bottom of gardens, verges, all over the place, but don't pick the ones next to roads.
They are a Lymphatic powerhouse, clears liver, kidneys and congestion. A immune tonic, detoxifier, great for throats infections and swollen glands.
Soothes pain and inflammation of UTI's
Use topically on skin for burns, blisters, psoriasis, eczema.
Use cold infusions ( never put hot water on cleavers as this destroys its potent properties) . Simply wash in cold water, crush in hands or lightly in pestle and mortar, put in a kilner jar or jug of water, can add a slice of lemon and store in the fridge. Makes a super refreshing yummy morning cleanse drink...........and it's Free 💚
Soon, from mid April, I will be starting Ayurvedic consultations, though you can also message me here for chats.
Happy springtime/mother time ☀️🌱😎💗
