Internal Healing: Master Cleanse Spring Cleaning

This morning while at Bikram Yoga, I got the inspiration that it was time for the Master Cleanse. Time for an internal Spring Cleaning. A friend asked me for the recipe, so I thought I would share it with everyone. This one comes from the Essential Oils Desk Reference by Essential Science Publishing.

The Master Cleanse is not a fast, but a cleansing program. A true fast consists of only water, while the original Master Cleanse incorporates a mixture of lemon juice, maple syrup, and cayenne pepper that provides a source of calories, vitamins, and minerals.

NOTE: Clinical experience has shown that people do better when the Grade B Maple Syrup is replaced with Blue Agave nectar, as shown in the program below.

Consult your physician: Anyone cleansing or fasting for more than three days should do so under the supervision of a health care professional. The Master Cleanse is ideal for anyone who is not diabetic and can safely cleanse for at least three to seven days.

Program:

Take juice of 1/2 fresh lemon (preferably organic)

Mix juice into 8 oz. of distilled water

Add 1-2 tablespoons of blue agave nectar (in place of Grade B maple syrup)

Add up to 1/10th tsp. cayenne pepper (red)

Start with a pinch or two of cayenne and gradually increase to 1/10tsp.

Drink as many 10 oz. glasses as required according to your body weight per day. If you weigh 100 pounds then you would drink half your weiht in ounces which would be 50 ounces or 5 glasses.

Drink plenty of water.

Cleanse for 1-10 days. During the middle and later phases of the cleanse, the body chemistry changes, and energy levels may begin to increase. You may experience headaches, upset stomach, or low energy, as toxins and parasites are released from the body. These symptoms will quickly end.

Drink plenty of water.

During your cleanse watch what cravings or emotions are stored inside. It may be time for an emotional clearing as well. I do energetic clearings that balance the body, nervous system, chakras, mind, emotions & help you to live with vitality & joy. Let me know if you would like support during your cleanse or are ready to take your vitality to the next level with a energetic session over the phone or in person.

It is important to have a positive attitude & support of your friends or family. Start out with 24 hours noon to noon if you are new to fasting.

We are seeking a balanced life full of vitality. Each day we put in food creating waste & toxins for our body to deal with. It’s nice to give it a break a couple times a year by doing a cleanse.

Blue Agave nectar and Grade B maple syrup are two of the most balanced of all sugars. Neither enters the bloodstream as rapidly as honey or sugar which is better for people who react adversely to sugars, (becoming restless, sleepless, and energetic after consuming sugar).

Contrary to popular belief, lemon is not acidic in the body. It turns alkaline in the mouth.

Cayenne pepper is a blood vessel dilator, a thermal warmer, and provides vitamin A. People who have type O blood tend to have poor circulation. As a result, their body temperature may drop during a cleanse. Cayenne is an herb known for its ability to warm and restore circulation.

Cayenne pepper is also a thermogenic. When used in a dietary program it can facilitate an increase in the body’s ability to burn fat.

If you get side effects such as headache, nausea, bloating, or irritability you can cut back on your fluid intake and turn to vegetable juices: carrot juice, carrot and celery, and 50/50 mixes of carrot with spinach and broccoli.

If you are feeling nauseated and bloated, it is an indication of two possibilities: 1) poisons are being released at a rapid rate and may be backing up into the liver. Keeping the liver cleansed by taking ledum essential oil in a capsule at night will help. 2) The colon may not be eliminating the waste from your intestines, so hydro colon therapy can help.

I look forward to helping you live with more vitality & joy. Contact me now.

Take care,
