Lemon Juice +
Water
This is a daily morning ritual that you MUST adopt TODAY. No
joke. This process has multiple benefits. From a detox standpoint, lemon is
highly cleansing and it helps the liver to eliminate toxins from the body. It
also helps to aid in jump starting the digestive process.
Apple Cider
Vinegar Shot
This in not for the faint at heart but it definitely works
if you really need to amp up the detoxification process. Get your hands on a
bottle of unfiltered, raw and organic apple cider vinegar and start with taking
1/2 a tablespoon of it with water (add a squeeze of lemon to help with the flavour).
It has the same benefits of lemon juice plus added naturally occurring
probiotics that you get through the fermentation process of AVC.
Holistic Dental
Care (Tongue Cleaning + Oil Pulling)
Millions of germs and toxins are held in the mouth,
particularly on the tongue. This inexpensive gadget (about $5) helps to remove
most of them from your tongue. You’re going to be amazed to see what comes off!
Oil pulling has quickly become a common approach to
detoxification, even though it has been used for centuries following Ayurvedic
practices. This is best done in the morning or night using about 1 tablespoon
of clean oil, such as olive, sesame or coconut. Swirl for about 20 minutes and
spit out. (Bonus: It also helps to naturally whiten teeth).
Dry Brushing
This practice also has many benefits including helping to
drain the lymphatic system, promoting digestion and detoxification. Ensure that
you purchase a brush with natural bristles which can be found online or in
natural health stores. Start by gently brushing in a circular motion, always
moving from the extremities towards the heart. Many encourage using
counter-clockwise strokes on the stomach area to improve detoxification.
Probiotics
I’ve regularly talked about the benefits of a daily
probiotic. Read about The Four Key Supplements that you should be taking
daily here. Probiotics are healthy bacteria that help to regulate and
restore your intestines’ natural balance which is a key component to the
detoxification process.
The other ways that I help the detoxification process
include drinking up to 3 litres of water daily to help remove toxins, sweating
through exercise to help stimulate the lymphatic system, Epsom salt baths,
using natural products in my skin care and stress reduction techniques such as
meditation.
