What is Herbal First Aid? Webinar with NHAA in October with Dominique. We invite you to book now.
What is herbal first aid?
Happy Saturday lovely ones.
We are at The Eumundi markets this morning and the weather is sunny and warm. Its so beautiful in Spring time and I trust you are all having some time to detox and clear away the winter cob webs.
Heres a few ideas for detox.
1. Make a day of it. Get out the juicer and make your favourite detox juices for the day. Think Carrots, celery, lemon, apple, greens and fresh garden vegetables. Juices flush poisons from the body fast and give your digestion a rest at the same time. They are also nourishing and you will achieve a feeling of extra energy the next day. Plus, they feed your microbiome all the goodness!
2. Stretch it out to two days ( a weekend) and have a really nice digestive and organ flush with fresh juices.
3. Make a big pot of vegetable soup and have a mono cleanse only eating that soup until it's gone. One day, two days! This also adds a lot of plant fibre to the mix and is warming on your digestion.
4. Go for the bone or vegetable broths. Make broth and drink that for the day. Mix the broth with some fresh lemon juice for a warm and gentle flush.
5. Lets continue with lemon juice, add it to warm water, cool water, soups, salads and let it help strip mucous from the body, flush the liver and also alkalise the body.
6. Herbal teas. Add detox herbal tea to your spring time diet. Drink it daily.
Remember you can detox for a day, a week, even a month. You can detox for two days then stop for the week and start again. You can have a water fast, a juice cleanse, a soup cleanse, and they all count towards decongestion of the organs and cells of your beautiful body.
