Hopefully this past week you've been thinking about what type of detoxification plan would best serve you.  My last post highlighted just a few strategies.  Ready for some recipes to get you started? 

Here are some of my favorites.

Detoxification Tea

-1 part Echinacea Root                -1 part Yarrow
-1 part Red Clover Blossoms        -1/2 part Dandelion Root
-1/2 part Peppermint                   -1/4 part Parsley

*Mix herbs well.  Infuse 1 tablespoon of tea in 1 cup hot water for 10-15 minutes.  Drink 5-7 cups for 7-10 days.

Spring Master Cleanser

-2 tablespoons fresh lemon or lime juices            -1 tablespoon pure maple syrup
-1/10 teaspoon cayenne pepper                         -8 ounces filtered water

Mix and drink 8-12 glasses a day. 
*This tastes way better than it sounds!

Autumn Rejuvenation Ration

-3 cups filtered water                                -1 tablespoon ginger root, chopped
-1-2 tablespoons miso paste                      -1-2 stalks green onion, chopped
-cilantro to taste, chopped                         -1-2 pinches cayenne pepper
-2 teaspoons olive oil                                 -juice of 1/ 2 lemon

*Boil water.  Add ginger root.  Simmer 10 minutes.  Stir in miso paste to taste.  Turn off heat.  Then add green onion, cilantro, cayenne, olive oil, and lemon juice.  Cover and steep for 10 minutes.  Enjoy!

Of course incorporating fresh greens and fresh fruits this time of year is a great choice too. Just focusing on fruits and greens, the springtime master cleanser, and detox tea is a great plan to follow for many of us.  

Figure out what will realistically work best for you, and start planning your menu.  I'll be posting some helpful yoga postures to include during your detox, to help get things moving quickly and efficiently.



Be Well!
