I'm just a young lady from Yoruba land.
I grew up in a home where the kitchen was as much a medicine cabinet as it was a place to cook. Long before I understood what "wellness" meant in any modern sense, I watched my mother and my grandmother move between the stove and the garden, picking leaves and roots the way other families might reach for a bottle from the pharmacy.
Nobody sat me down to teach it formally. It was absorbed — in the smell of a pot simmering on a Saturday morning, in being sent to pluck leaves from the garden before school, in hearing "that one is good for your body" said so often it became second nature. Natural leaves for the stomach. Herbs for the blood. A particular root, prepared a particular way, for the liver.
These weren't mystical secrets. They were home habits — simple, repeated, and trusted, because they worked, and because they had worked for the women who came before.
Liver Reset is my attempt to write down one of those home habits properly, the way it was actually taught to me: ingredient by ingredient, step by step, so that it can travel beyond one kitchen in Yoruba land and into yours.
