Spring cleanse for the body: detox, balance & regeneration for a long, healthy life
The term longevity comes from English and means "long life." But it’s not just about living as long as possible – it’s about making that time healthy, vital, and active. The modern longevity movement aims to slow the aging process, support cellular health, and improve overall well-being in the long term.

Spring is an ideal time to begin an inner cleanse. After months of blankets, cookies, and deep couch hibernation, the idea of fresh energy, new routines, and a little lightness feels especially appealing. Nature shows the way: everything is sprouting, growing, renewing – so it’s high time to allow the same within ourselves.

While we clean windows, declutter closets, and revive our balcony plants, we shouldn’t forget: our inner world also benefits from a good spring clean. The metabolism wants to reset, digestion needs relief, and mentally, there’s space for regeneration and realignment. Now’s the right time to strengthen the immune system, question old habits, and establish new ones.
 

At the core are three key health principles:

  • Detox: release and relieve

  • Balance: harmonize metabolic processes

  • Regeneration: renew and strengthen cells and the nervous system



These three areas form the foundation of holistic longevity – and can easily be integrated into your spring routine.

Detox: relieving the body

Our body faces daily stressors: environmental toxins, processed food, stress, or lack of sleep can all overwhelm the body’s natural detox processes. The liver, kidneys, skin, gut, and lungs work 24/7 to eliminate waste. Especially after winter, the body needs targeted support to get back on track.

A spring detox doesn’t mean radical deprivation but conscious support: plenty of water, fresh foods, outdoor movement – and selected micronutrients. Cutting out alcohol, sugar, and ultra-processed foods is also essential. Even a few weeks of mindful eating can noticeably boost your energy.

Bitter compounds, phytonutrients, and vitamins can also support natural detoxification. Relaxation, gentle movement, and sufficient sleep round out the detox phase and give the body a chance to recover and regenerate.

Balance: supporting metabolism and liver

The liver is one of our most important detox organs. It filters toxins, regulates fat metabolism, and plays a central role in our inner balance. However, poor diet, lack of movement, medications, and alcohol can significantly impair its function.

A well-functioning metabolism is essential for energy levels, digestion, and mental clarity. That’s why spring is the perfect time to ease the burden on the liver.

Natural bitter compounds, phytonutrients, and specific vitamins can support liver function. Stimulating bile production and aiding digestion also play a role. Combined with a fiber-rich diet and regular exercise, this can make a lasting contribution to metabolic balance.

A healthy liver also has positive effects on the skin and general well-being – both particularly valued in springtime, the season of new beginnings.

Regeneration: strengthening cells, mind and nervous system


Longevity is impossible without cellular health. Our cells renew themselves constantly through a process called autophagy. This natural mechanism can be supported with specific nutrients – especially when the body is under stress, facing environmental factors, or natural aging.

Mental balance is equally important for a long and healthy life. Plant compounds like ashwagandha and turmeric, as well as B vitamins, can help stabilize the nervous system and promote emotional resilience.

Those who regularly make time for relaxation, good sleep, and mindful breaks create the best conditions for body and mind to stay in harmony. Especially during the transition into spring, a focus on regeneration can bring more energy and clarity for the warmer months ahead.

A fresh start for body and mind: how to make your spring bloom from within

A healthy lifestyle doesn’t start with perfection – it starts with small, intentional choices. Spring offers the opportunity to lighten the load, recharge, and reset your routines. Those who begin now lay the foundation for lasting well-being. Because a true spring clean isn’t just about tidying up on the outside – it’s about blooming from within.

So don’t just enjoy clean windows this season – treat yourself to a fresh, light feeling from the inside out. Spring is the perfect moment to start a new chapter with ease and intention – for more energy, more vitality, and true longevity.

All meadow herbs are wild herbs – but not all wild herbs are meadow herbs
When you walk across a blooming meadow with open eyes, you'll see more than just grass and colorful flowers. You’ll discover a treasure trove of wild herbs – true power plants that have been valued for centuries and are now making a conscious comeback in our kitchens, teas, and even dietary supplements. ???? Wild herbs are pure nature – without chemicals ???? Wild herbs are edible plants that grow freely in nature, without being cultivated or farmed. You’ll find them in forests, on meadows, at the edges of fields, in the mountains, or even between paving stones – anywhere nature is left to itself. Wild herbs are known for being especially rich in nutrients and highly adaptable, as they thrive in natural conditions without fertilizer or breeding. The special thing about wild herbs? They grow entirely on their own, without human interference, fertilizers, or pesticides. In adapting to their environment, they develop robust compounds to protect themselves. These secondary plant substances are also incredibly valuable for us – they support many metabolic processes and can contribute to a strong immune system. ???? And it’s exactly this natural strength that we tap into at Nikolaus Nature: Many of our products contain plant extracts from herbs, roots, or seeds – because we truly believe nature holds the best answers for our health. ???? So, what are meadow herbs then? ???? Meadow herbs are a specific type of wild herb that grow in open, sunlit, and often nutrient-rich areas – meadows, in other words. They’re typical companions of grasses and have adapted to that specific habitat. In short: all meadow herbs are wild herbs, but they come from one special environment – the meadow. These resilient, often perennial plants grow in natural meadows, forest edges, or light shrub areas. Many were once considered medicinal plants and are still appreciated today for their valuable nutrients – such as bitter compounds, secondary plant substances, vitamins, and minerals. Popular meadow herbs include: ???? Nettle ???? Ribwort plantain ???? Daisy ???? Arnica ???? Willowherb ???? Peppermint ???? Dandelion All of them are little powerhouses with impressive effects. Whether found in forests, meadows, or roadside paths – wild herbs are full of vitality. And that’s exactly why their natural compounds play an important role in many of our products. The connection to nutritional supplements You don’t have to go out and collect herbs every day – though it can be a lovely way to reconnect with nature. Many of the nutrients found in meadow herbs are now available in high-quality, concentrated form in supplements. They're gently extracted, carefully tested, and processed in ways that your body can absorb them optimally. One great example is our NN Detox special, which contains wild garlic extract – a plant that grows naturally in light forests and has been used for centuries to support the body's natural detox function. Other plant-based ingredients like turmeric, yam, pomegranate, or black cumin also have stories much like those of meadow herbs: long respected, rediscovered, and now scientifically recognized. Back to nature – for more balance in daily life More and more people are seeking a natural lifestyle, health, and inner balance. Meadow herbs perfectly symbolize this desire. They grow quietly, strongly, and resiliently – often where you least expect them. And they remind us just how much power nature really holds. ???? With our products, we aim to make this strength available to you – through natural ingredients that gently support your well-being and help bring you back into balance.
