Spring remedies to support the Immune System
In spring I like to choose essential oils extracted from the leaves of the plant as they relate to our Rhythmic system, the breathing system of our body. In other words the lungs; according to TCM (Traditional Chinese Medicine) and The Doctrine of Signature (the ancient method of plant identification) The leaves, too, breathe, exchanging gases and capturing the sun’s energy through the green chlorophyll.
