DANDELION ROOTS FORAGING

yesterday morning, I went on my first foraging adventure of 2025 with the intention of collecting Burdock roots. To my unpleasant surprise, all the bird was already dead and rotten.

By choosing a Plan B, I decided to start collecting down the lion roads which I haven’t collected in quite a long time and forgot how big they are and how deep they go

dandelion route is a phenomenal remedy for the liver , in traditional Chinese medicine, they are say to support Liver Qi, Liver Yin and Spleen Qi, meaning that they boost the liver function and nourish its cells while promoting secretion of bile and digestive juices.

Such a great remedy to take after the festivities !

WINTER BLOSSOMING

I was so surprised to discover that Coltsfoot flowers were blossoming in the middle of a frosty Alpine winter.
Coltsford is a wonderful medicine to support the Angga in clearing excessive heat, dampness and wind from the respiratory system.

What I found beautiful about this finding is that this plant provides a powerful medicine for affections that are very common to contract during Winter times.

Nature knows best!

ADVENTURES AND MAGIC ENCOUNTERS

🗻 Feeling so blessed after this weekend in Snowdonia.. spending four days hiking, foraging and cold water plunging with four powerful men has truly nourished my souls. We were so lucky to have found such clear and mild weather during our outdoor adventures!
