DETOX TEAS

  • CCF (coriander, cumin, fennel tea) here

CONSTIPATION REMEDIES (JUST IN CASE)

  • For everyone (except AIR types): Triphala

  • For AIR types: Haritaki (only AIR types)

Diet changes can sometimes constipate. You want to make sure you have a bowel movement daily — that's true always, but especially while cleansing! So prep for eventual constipation by getting one of these mild laxatives.

If you don’t know your type: take the quiz here.

Tips to know which laxative to get:

  • If you pass rabbit pellet stools, normal-size stool that is hard to pass or have a bowel movement only every 2 days or less = you most likely need to get Haritaki.

  • If you have regular daily bowel movements, tend to have soft/runny stool or slow to pass stool that is tends to be moist = you most likely need to get Triphala.
