Take Your Cleanse to the Next Level

These 5 little wonders will help you take your cleanse to a whole new level...

1. Peppermint - in tea (mild) or capsule (intense) form to relieve bloating and soothe the digestive tract

2. Dandelion - as an astringent tea or coffee substitute to reduce fluid retention and support the liver

3. Milk thistle - in capsule form (we like 'Flordis Legalon') to help the liver regenerate and clear toxins

4. Probiotic - in capsule or powder form (or as kefir, if you prefer) to boost gut flora and immunity, and relieve bloating

5. Fibre - not for everyone as it can cause bloating, but if you tolerate fibre, add your preferred powder into a juice or smoothie to help clear out your digestive tract

Acupressure to Boost Your Detox

This week we wanted to share a useful detox tip with you. Simply massage these two acupressure points to assist your body with its own natural detoxification processes.

The first point, "Tai Chong", located on both feet, stimulates the liver. Our body's second largest organ, the liver plays an important role in the digestion of fats; it also clears toxins from the body and purifies the blood.

The second point, "He Gu", located on the top of both hands, stimulates the large intestine. This lovely organ is responsible for eliminating waste, so you want to make sure it's alert whilst you detox! Give it a good pinch (no immediate effects, we promise).

Happy detoxing!
