Refresh Cleanse

Happy Cleansing

Purposeful cleansing is a powerful way to reset and heal your mind and body. Here are a few tips to help you make the most out of your cleanse:

In Chinese medicine, the spleen is the organ that regulates digestion, if it's not working properly, you'll feel sluggish and bloated, so it's important to start the day with a system booster. The spleen likes warmth, which makes drinking warm lemon water a great way to alkalinize the body naturally and to stimulate bile production to flush the liver the first thing in the morning. Drink the lemon water every morning of your cleanse to get the most out of your detox.

Around 15-30 mins after your lemon water enjoy the juice labeled #1. You can move on to #2 when you start to feel hungry or around 1.5-2 hours after your first juice. It's important to listen to your body so if you start to feel hungry before the scheduled time, allow yourself to drink the next beverage.

If you are exercising or overexerting yourself, you may need to add some food. Nibble on organic, low-glycemic berries like strawberries, blueberries, or blackberries, a small handful of raw soaked almonds or macadamia nuts, 1/4 - 1/2 avocado, or a few celery sticks.

To get more out of your cleanse, start your morning with dry brushing, an infra-red sauna ora steam. These practices stimulate the lymph system and circulation. In addition to being a great way to dig into your detox and help the lymphatic system drain and remove toxins, these activities aid circulation and are healthy habits to add to your daily ritual.
