I feel FAT! CRabby! Dried Out! Tired! and did I say Crabby???"
It must be spring and time for a spring cleaning! Grandma called it a "Spring Tonic". Today we call it detoxing. All winter we have sat inside where it is warm and poked in Christmas cookies, New Year's drinks, Super Bowl junk food and cheap Valentine's Day candy. After a long hard winter the body needs to prepare for Spring, sunshine and fresh alive foods.
Detoxing involves the entire systems of the body, the digestive, the respitory, circulatory and nervous system. I'll give you some simple ways to help the detoxing process.
1. Decide what day you are going to start your detox program. Pick a day where you won't be around alot of activity.
2. Begin knowing that you will have to drink at least eight 8 oz glasses of distilled water. The reason for flooding yourself with water is that it lowers or thins the "fats" in the blood and helps to carry them on out. This is where chemicals, pesticides, drugs are hiding , in the blood serum or "fats". The increase of water also increases the oxygen to the cells.
3. Begin the day with some real fruit juice (avoid orange juice and tomato juice) and some raw fruit. You are trying to take the load off of the digestive process today. It takes alot of energy to digest grits, eggs and bacon. Herbal tea can be consumed freely during the day... suggested teas are Rooibos,Honeybush tea, chamomile & red clover, dandelion, and peppermint.You may eat raw fruits and vegetables during your meals. You can follow this routine for 2 days if your general condition warrants.
4. To detox the skin... salt glow and bath tea! Create a salt glow using sea salt and sweet almond oil. Patchouli and lemongrass essential oil added create a heavenly scent and will help to clean and soften the skin. Use a detox bath tea for 2 days in a row.
NOTE: (c/s is "cut and sifted")
