Spring is the season of new growth & rejuvenation – as nature turns green & plants start to bloom, it’s an opportunity for us all to reconnect with nature’s cycle!
In TCM, spring is the season of the liver – which craves more green foods to feel in balance. Signs of imbalance can include irritability, anger, and even digestive upset brought on by stress, congestion, and too much spicy & greasy foods.
This pesto is loaded with nutrients to help you feel less stressed, more calm, & get your natural youthful glow on for spring!
