by The Rebel Pharmacist

What is the first thing you think of when you think of the words “detox” or “cleanse”? If you are anything like me the first thing you probably think of is starvation and painful symptoms.

There are many things that you can do that will painlessly cleanse and nourish your body! These habits will be more effective in the long-run as opposed to the crash diets that only provide short-term benefits!

  1. Water

This one should be a given, every living cell in your body runs off of water. It is especially important for your lymphatic system which flushed your body of toxins and unneeded substances.

Start off your morning right with a glass of warm or lukewarm water with fresh squeezed lemon juice, and if you are adventurous a little aluminum free baking soda. Both help to normalize the Ph of the body, are anti-carcinogenic, anti-fungal, antibacterial and will pull toxins from your bloodstream.

  1. Meditation

Cleansing the mind is equally as important as cleansing the body. Meditation gives you space to breathe and let go of repetitive thoughts and raging emotions. Take five minutes out of your routine and meditate!

  1. Dry Brushing

The Lymphatic System is an intricate network of nodes, ducts, and vessels that help to move lymph from the body tissue to the bloodstream. Since it’s circulating through your body and is key to cleansing out toxins and waste, it is important to detoxification. A popular way to smooth out the flow is dry brushing.

Dry Brushing is the process of running a brush in specific, continuous, circular motions across your skin, upwards towards the heart.

  1. Hydrotherapy

After you get done with your dry brushing, jump into the shower and alternative between 2 minutes of hot water and 30 seconds of cold water. Do this for 3-5 repetitions during your shower.

This type of therapy increases circulation and lymphatic flow, as well as boosts your immune system and metabolism.

  1. Stretching

Stretching is a great way to rejuvenate the body and cleanse it through slow, steady motions and movements. These movements help increase the circulation throughout your body and stimulate the release of toxins.

  1. Sound Therapy

Because we are constantly surrounded by noise and disturbances, our ears start to become desensitized towards the higher pitched sound frequencies. This sort of therapy is designed to help restore that sensitivity again.

  1. Pet Therapy

Pet therapy is a phenomenal way to reduce stress and cleanse your body at an emotional level. Pets are energy sensitive and have a keen way of knowing when people are uptight or depressed. Their constant temperaments and love for affection have been known to lower heart rates, calm reeling thought processes and ease fatigue.

  1. Herbs

Herbs are by far some of the most powerful plants when it comes to restoring health. For almost every single human disease there is a healing counterpart that can be found in the plant kingdom.

  1. Morning Fasting

In the morning our bodies are in elimination mode and are focusing on releasing toxins and cleansing. Waking up and eating a heavy breakfast can be counterproductive in your body’s attempt to cleanse. Instead of pancakes or cereal have a glass of warm lemon water and later opt for a green juice or smoothie that is full of raw, living foods that will continue to cleanse and replenish your body in the best way.
