Spring is the ideal time to allow our major “detox” organ to “detox”. By supporting your liver to gently release the toxins it’s been filtering you are setting yourself up for health and wellness physically and emotionally. With this said, doing this gently and skillfully is very important so that you don’t end up in a healing crisis.
Here are some tips to get the ball rolling with a gentle spring cleaning:
Take a break from caffeine, sugar and alcohol
Drink 16 oz of warm water with a little fresh lemon first thing in the morning. This is a simple, tasty way to gently cleanse your body.
Eat a high protein/ low carbohydrate breakfast within the first hour of waking. The liver requires plentiful protein for proper function and the protein will balance your energy all day.
Dry brush you skin before getting in the shower (start at the soles of the feet and palms of the hands always moving toward the heart.)
Schedule an Energetic Liver Cleanse- Resonation Acupuncture offers an “oil change for the qi”. Call or email to schedule an appointment (831)234-6616.
