Fleur de pisenlit (the miracle food) + recipes

in Health Tips, Love Yourself, Naked Nutrition, Recipes, Renee's BLOG on 04/04/12

Spring has sprung and it’s time to turn your attention inward to your liver and gallbladder for a little cleanse and detox.

I have a little miracle for you to help the process. By the way, April 22 (Earth Day) is opening day for the infamous 18 Day Love Yourself Naked Challenge Cleanse. Click here for details.

What if you went to your doc today and they prescribed a miracle prescription to help you do the following…? Would you take it and use it every day without fail?

  • Cleanse your system

  • Dissolve Kidney Stones

  • Clean/purify blood

  • Prevent or cure liver disease

    (like jaundice or hepatitis)

  • Balance blood sugar

  • Cleanse your skin (clean up acne)

  • Help with weight loss

  • Relief of constipation

  • Contribute to lowering blood pressure

  • Reduce acid indigestion (sometimes eliminate it completely)

  • Prevent cancers

  • Prevent and control “diabetes mellitus”

  • Lower serum cholesterol

By the way, it has zero side effects and it fixes what is ‘broken’ without you having to direct it.

Before I share this springtime, liver loving, and miracle prescription with you, we’re going to take a little trip inward.

Our food, water, air and soil are polluted and as hard as our sweet bodies work to cleanse on their own, they simply cannot keep up the pace with the toxins that are the reality today. Detox and cleansing are necessary and spring, according to Chinese Medicine, is the time to support your lovely liver.

Let’s jump on to our microscopic space shuttle and take a trip into your body… in a nutshell the food travels into the mouth, down the esophagus, into the stomach, then through the small intestine. Meanwhile you liver is busy making bile (fluid that helps you digest food/fats). That bile is then mixed with the ‘food’ to continue along the digestive process before the ‘food’ is expelled out as feces.

This crucial step by your liver is only one of the 500 known functions of this organ that sits just to the right of your belly under your ribcage. Give it a pat; it deserves some lov’n. The liver is your largest organ and some say the most important and vital to life.

So in cleansing the liver, you also contribute to the above results by utilizing that small little yellow, pesky plant, commonly known as the dandelion.

This plant has been used as medicine for over 1000 years and the name for dandelion comes from the French words for the plant: fleur de pisenlit. Translated in English, this means wet the bed! This is true because when you eat the dandelion greens they remove water from your body. You may want to avoid eating the greens several hours before you go to bed!

Unfortunately, dandelions can grow in yards that have toxic sprays or fertilizers so be aware where you forage. Foraging is highly recommended in natural and organic settings or you can find the greens at your local markets. An important foraging tip is to pick your greens before the flowers have bloomed or the greens may taste bitter.  By the way, the dandelion happens to be an important food for our precious bees.

Dandelion greens eaten raw provide a high amount of nutrients and minerals. I’ve included a list here, courtesy of Self.com. There are testimonials all over the place of people who attribute dandelion greens to curing or helping their ailments. Please don’t take my word for it… try it yourself!

A quick and friendly disclaimer that I am not a doctor and I am not prescribing dandelion as a miracle cure for your ailments. I am however, telling you that from my experience and the 1000 years prior to this date,  dandelions have proven time and time again to create small and big miracles for millions of people.

There is a catch. You must have belief in what you are doing. You can eat all the healthy foods in the world, but your faith in them working for you is just as important.

I’ve included several recipes for dandelion. Two wonderful raw salads and dandelion root tea, which is so yummy!

If you liked this blog post or you have your own insights into dandelion, I want to hear all about it! Leave a comment below and tell me about it 🙂

Voila, fleur de pisenlit!

PS. Be sure to mark your calendar for your cleanse, start here with the 18 Day LYN Challenge. See below for some delish recipes!

After picking your dandelion greens, sort the leaves (see caution above), throwing out the harder outer leaves. Separate the tender, inner leaves, tearing them into bite-sized pieces. Wash well in cold water at least 3 times to get rid of sand or grit. Drain well.

✨What if we changed our relationship to consumpt ✨What if we changed our relationship to consumption?✨

For anyone who can hear this today and needs the reminder:
Even though there is an enormous amount of external chaos now in our world and systems, going inward and looking at your own personal opportunities to grow is extremely important now.
Especially now you will need more space.

Try not take take other people personally, they need space too.

When things are louder “out there” and there is so much uncertainty, it’s a cue to slow down, tune in to your internal voice and get clear on what you need right now.

Clear away all the noise so you can hear yourself.
Be in nature.
Create the quiet space you need so new habits and commitments can be developed.

It’s not that we won’t be tempted away to distraction. 
We will be, we’re human after all.

It’s not that we would ignore the external loud chatter completely or be naive to important issues that align with our values.

Instead we can be allowing the media wave to float along like a river away from you or next to you.
You don’t need to be “in it or of it”.
What if we changed our relationship to consumption?
We stopped becoming so attached to the latest sound byte... we just allow it to float along...

We focused on creating the new instead.

You are safe.
We are safe.
Stay grounded and centered in yourself in any way you can knowing that truth.
It is safe to relax into your quiet moments.

It’s time to choose to settle into your nervous system differently in the midst of the chaos.

If you need help or support, send me a DM. 

Love to all,
Renee
In order to love ourself, we must learn to LIKE ou In order to love ourself, we must learn to LIKE ourself first. We can choose to be accepting and our own best friend first. 
You don’t fall in love until you like a person first...
How are you being a friend to YOU?? 

Right now, the external chaos is going to reflect back to us how we are choosing to “like ourself” in our darkest moments and through these life experiences we are having and witnessing.

Loving ourself fully and deeply with trust and acceptance has never been more important.

In my experience, loving me is a practice every single day (sometimes every moment) and it happens when I choose to like me first.

I need to know i got a friend in me, that I will have my own back, so to speak... whether I am in bliss and joy or in pain or self sabotage. 

I realize more and more that when I’m not living my highest truth creatively, it’s more challenging to like myself. 

I believe at the end of the day, every person wants to feel that they contributed something of value and that they genuinely like themself.... ideally love themself!

Cheers to new beginnings. 

DM me a note if I can be of service on your holistic wellness and emotional mastery to Love You.
-Renee ❤️ #loveyourselfnaked

I see you! How are you doing right now? I’m need I see you! How are you doing right now? I’m needing more rest these days to show up in bigger ways! Hey... that rhymed! Fortunately, rest helps me write a lot and create more. It got me thinking... 
What if we did something new, that we’ve never done before, every single day?
It could be as simple as drinking more water or calling a friend or walking outside or making a video...?
One change every day will change your whole game. I will continue to keep you posted on my experience, it is working wonderfully over here so far 😉
