The combination of fresh lemon or lime juice and sea salt forms a powerful tonic that aids digestion, re-hydrates through replenishing electrolytes, helps your body detoxify, as well as helps to pull nutrients from the foods we eat for better absorption. Have one about 10 minutes before a meal, or any time you need 3/4 cup pure, clean water (a cup of water is 8 oz) Mix it all together in a glass until the sea salt is dissolved and sip slowly. Herbal Tonics Chlorophyll Cleanser Tonic Chlorophyll is a great cleanser. If you don't have access to a juicer and fresh leafy greens or if you lack the motivation to make fresh vegetable-leafy green juice combinations, try this easy health tonic instead. 1 tablespoon freeze dried barleygrass juice powder, or any high quality "super greens" type of powdered mix (no added sugars please), plus or 1 tablespoon liquid chlorophyll (made from alfalfa), plus Just stir and sip it slowly. I love the barleygrass powder. ________________________________________________________________
Be warned. This is a powerful yeast buster!! Begin with very small amounts, especially if you are dealing with an overly yeasty condition, to minimize die-off reactions which can make you feel really sick. Start with 5 drops in 1/4 cup water, followed by a glass of water, a few minutes before a meal, once or twice a day. Work up from there, along with making the proper dietary adjustments. 2 inch piece of organic fresh ginger - roughly chopped Place all three ingredients in a blender. Blend thoroughly.

Take it 2 or 3 or more times throughout the day and enjoy the results! _________________________________________________________________ Herbal Tonics Be warned. Like the ginger-garlic-apple cider vinegar tonic this is another powerful yeast buster!! I'll reiterate what I mentioned above: Begin with very small amounts, especially if you are dealing with an overly yeasty condition, to minimize die-off reactions which can make you feel really sick. Start with 5 drops in 1/4 cup of water, followed by a glass of water, once or twice a day, a few minutes before a meal. Work up from there, along with making the proper dietary adjustments. Just be prepared for your mouth to feel fiery, your nose may run and your eyes are probably going to water for a minute. The flavor can linger on your breath for a while, so you might want to warn your family members or other loved ones :) This health tonic recipe was passed on to me by a friend in California, she learned it at a health retreat. Whoever originally came up with this concoction surely understood the power of garlic, pungent, spicy roots & vegetables as natural cleansers, and must have been really motivated to clean out the pipes! Everything organic if possible, please. 5 large garlic cloves Chop everything. Put it all in a blender with the vinegar and blend thoroughly. Add more vinegar if necessary. Pour mixture into a large, clean jar with an airtight lid. Seal the jar, wrap in a dark towel or cloth and store in a cool, dark spot like a cupboard or a pantry closet for 2 weeks. Strain liquid through a cheesecloth or fine mesh strainer and store the tincture in dark amber bottles with dropper lids, or any dark glass bottle with tight sealing top. Dropper tops are great for ease of use. _________________________________________________________________ Here's a great selection of herbal books, 7 pages of titles in all  |
