Have you stopped to think about what goes into a meal? Of course, there’s the love and time it takes to prepare a meal. But the food itself contains energy—where it was grown, how it was grown and the messages it contains—comes through with every forkful.
Dandelion is a natural antibiotic that works to detox the body and support healthy Liver, Stomach and Heart function. Dandelion has many benefits on a chemical and physical level. However, even higher than that, on an energetic level, it carries a powerful message. Many people consider dandelion a weed and try to destroy it. But this plant keeps coming back. Dandelion contains information that makes it strong and powerful.
Always look to Nature for clues and support. These little greens are unstoppable in the garden and will do the same work within your body!
