The fresh growth and new life of springtime naturally invite cleansing.

Dandelions sprouting, asparagus shooting, flowers budding... it's like nature is trying to send us a message...

We know that all whole plant foods are nutritious and healing in their own ways, but in springtime, we've got some real superstars bursting through the ground!

We just wrapped up our Spring Cleanse where we enjoyed an abundance of fresh fruits and veggies of all sorts. In today's Medicinal Monday episode we highlight some of our all-time favorite cleansing veggies coming to the scene in spring.

The stars of the show: dandelion, artichoke, and asparagus.

We share some recipe/food prep insights, general cleansing tips, and other fun facts concerning these favorite spring veggies.
