Nature gives us clues for foods we should be eating to support our body's natural desire to detox at these times. Our ancestors would be dining on far fewer calories now that they have eaten all their stored foods from the winter, and they would be eating greens and lighter foods which support us during this time. In the late winter and early spring, the elements of water and earth are prevalent forces; and the body can feel cold, slow, heavy, and damp. In traditional cultures such as Ayurveda and Traditional Chinese Medicine, it is recommended to balance these qualities with foods and herbs which are light, hot, pungent, and dry and avoiding heavy and dense foods such as dairy, grains or meat. On cooler days, a light soup full of vegetables is wonderful, and on warmer days a salad is perfect. Nettles are beginning to spring up in the Northwest. Whether you gather them fresh or use the dried variety, they are a perfect companion to your lighter diet or possibly a spring cleanse. This recipe is a vinegar extract of Nettles and Calendula. Vinegar is an effective way to extract and preserve many of the nutrients in Nettles, especially the minerals. * These statements have not been evaluated by the Food and Drug Administration.
