Body Cleansing

Welcome to the Natural Detox and Body Cleansing page.

Making good dietary and lifestyle choices is the most effective long-term way to cleanse excess candida from your system, and allows for a gentle release of built-up toxins over time.

The truth is, it does take some time. It's not a "magic pill".

It is a careful and deliberate program of eliminating foods which feed candida while focusing on nutrient-rich foods to stimulate and support your body's own immune functions.

So it's understandable to want to get a "jump start" on your healing process! And there's no reason not to! By implementing some of these tips, techniques and products, you'll have a good head start on your way back to radiant, vibrant health.

The liver is the largest gland in the body, and does a lot of vital work.

The liver is involved in numerous vital functions, including regulating metabolism, digestion, thyroid and blood sugar levels. It filters toxins from the blood for excretion via the kidneys, and helps keep the body clean of foreign substances. Make sure your digestive/eliminative system is is good working order before doing a liver cleanse (you might consider doing a colon cleanse first, especially if you've been experiencing constipation or irregularity).

This is the use of hot and cold water for stimulating and detoxing the internal organs and the skin. It can easily be combined with dry skin brushing in your daily routine.

After you have washed up in the shower, take an extra minute or two to alternate the temperature of the water from as hot as you can take it (for up to a minute) to as cold as you can take it (for up to a minute). Repeat the process once or twice again before turning the water off. Focus the shower stream onto your torso and back to help stimulate the internal organs.

It's fun, it's easy, and its really good for you!

Sulphuric hot springs, found in many areas of the world, are prized for their healing qualities. Many a spa has been built around a natural hot spring.

In fact, my former home town, Saratoga Springs, NY, was named for the abundance of natural springs there. These healing waters drew native Americans for thousands of years before they kindly introduced European settlers to the magical waters.

If you don't have access to a hot spring, you've got options :)

Epsom salt and high quality sea salt both provide wonderfully soothing baths, and also help draw toxins out through the skin.

Epsom salt is actually a form of magnesium sulfate, and magnesium is known for its relaxing effect on soft tissues - which is why an epsom salt soak is recommended for overworked body parts.

Sea salt also makes a great cleansing bath.

Try 2 cups of either kind of salt dissolved in a hot bath and enjoy a good soak.

Food is medicine!

Please steer clear of the Master Cleanse when you have yeast overgrowth.

Also called The Lemonade Diet, this cleanse consists of drinking a lemonade sweetened with maple syrup - way too high in carbohydrates when dealing with an overly yeasty condition.

In some cases this can provide a really nice cleanse and detox effect, but wait to try it until you are truly healed of candida overgrowth.

Herbs are not only foods, they offer a variety of detoxification aids, organ strengthening qualities, and immune boosting capabilities. You can take powdered medicinal herbs in capsule form, or make herbal decoctions and teas.

There really is nothing like a hot cup of tea. And on a hot day, iced herbal tea is a great way to get a little extra herbal boost while cooling off at the same time!

Dandelion root, milk thistle, burdock, nettles, the list goes on and on..
