Personalize your spring treatment

Far from being a single approach, spring cures come in a multitude of forms, each meeting specific expectations:

Detoxify your body : plants such as dandelion, artichoke or birch stimulate the liver and kidneys, promoting the elimination of toxins accumulated during winter.
Boost your energy : vegetables rich in vitamins and minerals, such as spinach, asparagus or citrus fruits, restore vitality and tone to the body.
Improve your digestion : plants with digestive properties, such as gentian, peppermint or fennel, facilitate intestinal transit and relieve digestive disorders.
Strengthen your immune system : fruits and vegetables rich in antioxidants, such as kiwis, oranges or broccoli, boost natural defenses and protect against infections.

However, be careful of the side effects!

Accelerated transit and diarrhea : certain plants increase the production of bile which can irritate the intestinal mucosa and lead to digestive disorders.
Worsening of skin problems and migraines : if you suffer from eczema, psoriasis, acne or chronic migraines, the spring cure may worsen your symptoms.
Hepatic pain/colic : People with gallstones or bile sludge should be careful, as these plants can trigger colic attacks.

Choose plants adapted to your needs and your state of health.
Start with low doses and increase gradually.
Don’t hesitate to take breaks if you experience side effects.
If in doubt, consult your doctor or a naturopath.

Spring cures can be beneficial for your health, but it is important to do them with caution. By following these tips, you will reduce the risk of side effects and take full advantage of the benefits of these plants.
