You don’t detox just because it’s spring. You detox when your body is actually ready. That means not when you're exhausted, undernourished, or emotionally burnt out. Detoxing too soon—or at the wrong time—can leave you feeling worse, not better. As a clinical herbalist, I see this all the time. So today, I’m sharing exactly how I evaluate whether the body is prepared for detox—whether it’s for myself, my family, or a client. This post will help you stop chasing
