🌼 Spring Herbal Detox: Cleanse Gently with Yellow Dock, Burdock & Dandelion

Spring is a season of renewal—and it’s the perfect time to give your body a gentle reset. Rather than extreme cleanses or fasting, you can use herbs that naturally support the liver, kidneys, and lymphatic system to help your body do what it already knows how to do: detox.

🌿 Why Choose an Herbal Detox?

Your liver and kidneys work hard every day to filter out toxins. Certain herbs can help support these organs, reduce inflammation, and promote better digestion and skin clarity—without stressing your system.

🍂 1. Yellow Dock Root

Yellow Dock is known for stimulating bile production, which helps your body break down fats and eliminate waste. It’s also rich in iron and supports digestion and skin clarity.

How to use: Simmer 1 tsp of dried root in water for 15–20 minutes to make a decoction.

🌱 2. Burdock Root

This classic “blood purifier” supports liver health, clears the skin, and gently stimulates lymphatic drainage. It’s also a mild diuretic.

How to use: Make a tea or decoction, or combine with dandelion in a daily detox blend.

🌼 3. Dandelion Leaf (and Root)

Dandelion supports both the kidneys and the liver. The leaves help reduce fluid retention, while the root stimulates bile and digestion.

How to use: Drink dandelion tea 1–2x daily or add fresh leaves to your salads.

⚠️ Safety Notes

✨ Final Thoughts

A spring herbal detox doesn’t have to be extreme—it’s about nourishing your body and supporting its natural rhythm. These three herbs are a gentle way to welcome a fresh season of energy and clarity.
