Wild Rose Herbal Detox
Wild Rose Herbal Detox?
im on my third day.
and i’m just wondering about peoples general experiences with it.
was it worth it? did it work? did you actually feel like a million bucks?
did you loose wieght? and did you gain it all back when you were done? etc.
OH, AND DO YOU KNOW ANY SALAD DRESSING OR SAUCE RECIPIES FOR IT!?
I cleanse and detox all the time with great success. The way I know when to detox is by how my energy levels are, how my digestive system is, and how my immune system is reacting. The detox you’re doing sounds pretty good. I found a link for you that may help.

It talks of a cookbook that goes with the cleanse. As for the pasta, if it says to avoid wheat or gluten, there are plenty of gluten free pastas on the market these days. Rice, quinoa, and corn pasta are great. I’ve also had pasta made with jerusalem artichoke flower that was really good.
You can lose weight with cleansing and keep it off as long as you continue to watch what you eat. Keep your diet clean and those toxins won’t accumulate as much. Also keep track of how you feel as you add foods back into your diet once you stop cleansing. Add one food at a time, about every 4-5 days and take note. If you feel bloated or just not right, or notice changes in your skin or bowels, then chances are you’re body is sensitive to that food item and should be eliminated from your intake altogether to maintain optimum health. Certain foods (such as gluten) can ‘gum’ up your system making it harder for the body to do what it needs to do. Another common food that can ‘gum’ up your body is dairy. Ever notice how mucousy you get when you drink milk or eat ice cream? It has that same effect on the rest of your body as well.
My husband recently discovered he has food sensitivities and has worked hard to eliminate the ‘harmful’ foods. His end result is his eczema cleared up, he stopped snoring (YAY! lol), and he dropped about 10lbs without trying. He is using supplements his doc (holistic MD) recommended to help balance and detox his system as well.
You may feel sick at some point during the detox process, which can be normal. It’s just a sign that all the toxins are being ‘dislodged’ and getting ready to be flushed out. If you can tough through knowing that’s what’s happening you will really enjoy how much better you’ll feel in the end when you’re done with the cleanse. Just be sure to drink plenty of water.
Good Luck to you and happy cleansing!

Spring Cleaning – 5 Easy Ways to Clean All Levels of Your Being
Spring is a time when the energy shifts and all beings and plants wake up from winter hibernation and a new cycle of life begins. Take advantage of this energy shift and let it boost your own renewal at all levels of your being.
By becoming aware of your existence at all levels, from the physical to the spiritual you are able to do spring cleaning in a truly holistic way.
Health is so much about keeping the flow going, whether it is in your closet, digestive tract or the thoughts you think. The input must be balanced with equal output, or there is congestion and stagnation, which spells trouble.
Here a few easy tips to get you going with spring cleaning at various levels of your life. Try one, a few or all of them, depending on what you feel you need right now.
1. De-clutter Your Physical Space
Spring cleaning is that traditional cleaning where every corner is swept, windows washed, walls dusted and carpets whipped. I am not sure many have the time to do such a thorough cleaning anymore… but it is not “all or nothing”, capture the energy of “sweeping the winter out”, and do small spaces in your home, like a cupboard, sock drawer or a closet. An organized living space is calming.
2. De-clutter Your Schedule
Being over and double booked is exhausting! Take a close look at the activities you are committing to and be sure that they really ad value to your life, especially before renewing or recommitting to an activity. If you have kids, this also goes for their activities.
3. Clean Out Your Physical Body
In traditional cultures spring and fall are times when cleansing is done. It seems our bodies naturally begin cleansing at these “change of season” times. Your body’s attempt at cleaning out may manifest as a cold, which is really just natures way of detoxing.
Why not beat “yourself” to it and do a detox that is more pleasant than having a cold. Dedicate 1-14 days to eating a diet that is extra “clean” consisting of lots of veggies, quality protein and water. Avoid sugar, processed food, alcohol and refined grains. To stimulate a deeper cleanse you can also take an herbal detox kit, like Wild Rose or Heel.
If your lifestyle doesn’t allow you to detox for several days, try a one day juice fast. Be sure to do it on a day when you can relax and take it easy. For instructions on how to do a 1-Day-Juice-Fast go to http://www.truepurposeliving.com/downloads/1dayjuicefast.pdf
4. Tune Your Organs of Elimination
Your organs of elimination are where your “garbage” in handled or exits, and include your bowel, kidneys, lungs, skin and liver. Give yourself a tune up, just like you give your car a tune up periodically for future good performance.
My favorite way of doing this is with drainage remedies. Drainage remedies are low potency (low dilution) formulas from a selected blend of plants and minerals that targets the various organs of elimination. Ask your natural health practitioner to help you with drainage.
5. De-clutter Your Mind
The physical clutter in your environment may pale in comparison to the constant stream of thoughts, relevant or not, that race through your mind. To get a break from this flow, begin by becoming aware of your thoughts, pretend to be an outside observer.
Set aside a few moments every day, they don’t have to be long, where you can consciously quiet your “internal voice” and just follow the rhythm of your breath. This will clean your inner space, slow your breathing, lower your blood pressure and raise your awareness.
