Why cleanse?

WHY DETOX OCCASIONALLY?

Seasonal change is the ideal time to detox from the impact that our diet, lifestyle habits and environment have on our body & mind. Whether we recently made poor diet choices, established unhealthy lifestyle habits or we just live and breathe in today's polluted world (think chemicals from prescription and over-the-counter medications, face creams and particulate matter in the air), our bodies are exposed to toxins on a daily basis. Overtime, the toxic chemical compounds we are absorbing are creating imbalances in our body & mind because our liver is overtaxed and no longer functioning at its best. As a result, we might experience migraines, irritability, rashes, tiredness, weight gain and more. So a gentle detox, especially during a seasonal change, can help eliminate those chemicals compounds through digestion. 

seasonal change CAN FURTHER BURDEN OUR overtaxed system

When a new season rolls around, the seasonal change also adds burden to our overtaxed system. Although season change is a magical time of transformation, change and enthusiasm for novelty, it can also lead to imbalances or a mental and physical burnout, stressing our adrenals and nervous system and putting some of the body's natural detoxification processes on hold.

DETOX BY SUPPORTING (NOT DEPLETING) YOUR BODY

To detox from the past few months and set us up for a balanced upcoming season, it's important to support our body's natural ability to remove toxins and achieve maximum benefits from the good qualities of the season. 

Unlike extreme juice cleanses or drastic fasts that leave us more vulnerable going into the new season, this gentle 3-day cleanse is designed to rejuvenate, instead of bankrupt, our system. Over 3 days, it uses a nourishing mono-diet, herbal teas and self-care practices to detox our bodies without depleting them in any way.
