Spring is a time of regeneration, renewal and time to get back in the flow. Today we are going to make a spring dandelion root and cardamom latte to help get back into the flow. According to traditional chinese medicine liver is the dominant organ of spring. When we take in the medicine of dandelion we are helping our liver do its main job which is to stimulate the free flow of energy through our body. That way we will be able to go with the flow in spring. Cardamom is also an incredible spice and herb to use in spring to help us deal with the excess mucous that can come from spring allergies. In this video I will show you how to make a delicious, thick, foamy dandelion root and cardamom latte to help detoxify your liver in spring, clear up mucus and bring back that spring in your step. We will also explore adding a tincture to give that extra help for your liver.
