Welcome to April 2025, a season of renewal, rebirth, and revitalization! At MICOPEIA BOTANICA Tea House + Nursery, we’re embracing this time by highlighting powerful springtime herbs that support digestion and detoxification.
Herbs for Digestive & Liver Support
As the earth awakens, so do potent herbal allies that naturally cleanse and nourish the body. Some of our favorite springtime detoxifiers include:
🌿 Dandelion – A liver-supportive powerhouse that aids digestion and gently stimulates bile production.
🌿 Stinging Nettle – Rich in minerals and chlorophyll, this herb replenishes nutrients while gently supporting detox.
🌿 Purple Dead Nettle – An anti-inflammatory, nutrient-dense wild edible that soothes the digestive tract.
🌿 Burdock – A deep-cleansing root that supports the liver and promotes skin health.
Dandelion, in particular, holds a special place in my heart, and I was thrilled to highlight this resilient herb in my latest book, The Kitchen and The Table: An Introduction to Herbalism. This book is your guide to building a home apothecary and understanding the deeper connections between plants and healing.

Journey with Dandelion
Dandelion’s journey to the USA is a story of resilience. Brought by early settlers for its medicinal and nutritional value, this golden-flowered herb has been used for centuries to support liver function and overall vitality. Its bright yellow hue is significant in The Doctrine of Signatures, a theory that suggests a plant’s appearance hints at its medicinal uses. If you find this concept fascinating, I dive deeper into it in The Kitchen and The Table—be sure to check it out!

Parasite Cleanse: A Foundational First Step
Before focusing on liver health, it’s important to address parasites, a hidden root cause of many illnesses. Parasites exist in all of us, and a targeted cleanse helps reset the body. Our Parasite Cleanse Tea is packed with powerful antiparasitic herbs, including:
🛡️ Greek Oregano – Fights harmful bacteria and parasites.
🛡️ Black Walnut Leaves – A traditional remedy for intestinal invaders.
🛡️ Wormwood – A potent antiparasitic herb.
🛡️ Pau d' Arco – Supports gut health and immune function.
🛡️ Cloves – Targets parasite eggs and prevents reinfestation.
🛡️ Garlic – A natural antibacterial and antifungal powerhouse.
🛡️ Thyme – Supports respiratory and digestive wellness.
A Note on Bitters: Why Less is More
Our Parasite Cleanse Tea is a bitter blend, and that’s intentional! Bitter herbs stimulate digestion and help expel parasites. Avoid sweeteners—you don’t want to feed the parasites! Instead, start with a short steep time (1–3 minutes) to allow your body to adjust. Hydration is key, so drink plenty of water alongside your cleanse.
