Lemons in my daily routine help keep my Body in Balance! But what if you want to do more to detox your body? I have some really great ways for us to help detox our bodies even MORE. Let’s start with Dry Skin Brushing, I never understood why people had these brushes or what their purpose was, But soon after using them I realized and saw the benefits. When you brush your skin with a natural bristle brush, do not wet the brush or skin before, start at the feet and brush your way up, always brush towards your heart. Brush each area a few times overlapping so you don’t miss any areas. Dry skin brushing will help clear out your pores, and exfoliate dead skin. You are also stimulating the lymphatic system which will help the flow of toxins leave the body. It reduces cellulite, I just brush those areas “really well”.
We “ALL” sweat, some of us don’t sweat, some sweat a lot depending on your body. So why not help the sweat come out through your skin easier, I mean, it’s toxins leaving your body so why not have a nice big open door for them to leave, right? I love to dry skin brush just before I step into a nice warm EPSOM SALT BATH, and when my pores are all brushed out, it allows the salt to really absorb and for toxins to get the heck out of my body. I would say once or twice a week you should take time for yourself and soak for 20 mins in your bath. I would add 1/2 cup to 1 cup Epsom salt to the bath, 1/2 cup of baking soda and 10 drops of your favourite essential oil. Adding the baking soda helps collect the toxins in your bath so they don’t re enter your body. This helps lower my stress level relating to my hormones and balances PH levels. You can ADD different things to your bath like APPLECIDER VINEGAR, vinegar has been known to relieve stress and joint pains. Adding certain essential oils like lavender and jojoba to help you unwind and relax. You can add Ginger as ginger has been known to remove toxins through sweat. During my bath I always have a face mask on, a face mask made with ACTIVATED CHARCOAL.
I ordered some charcoal and started to experiment. I made face masks and started using them in my oral routine. Activated charcoal carries a negative charge, so it is able to attract heavy metals and other toxins. It’s very absorbent so it can take dangerous particles out of your body. Be slow when using activated charcoal because it can be messy and a bit of a pain to clean up. You can order activated charcoal products online or buy at health food stores. Activated charcoal can be applied to the first sign of a TICK BITE to help draw out bacteria (not saying it cures it), or apply to a bee sting or insect bite to help draw out bacteria. Activated charcoal is being used all over the world in emergency trauma centers using it for treatment of poisoning and drug over doses. It helps with bloating and gas, lowers cholesterol, and even can prevent hangovers. Before you start to use The Activated Charcoal make sure you read up on it. Because Like I said it’s messy and it does stain clothing, it also has to be taken 90mins to two hours before meals, and supplements and prescription medicine. Look for activated Charcoal made from coconut shells or identified wood species that have ultra-fine-grains, in the powdered form, many products have added artificial sweeteners, so stay away from them, I mean ARTIFICIAL SWEETENENERS are loaded with chemicals, and they get added to activated charcoal, really?? So stay clear. If you are drinking it combine it with LEMON, or any fruit juice.
With my process in healing my body I HAD TO DETOX everyday. Hourly I was doing some form of detoxing. When treating LYME, CO INFECTIONS, PAPARSITE, during its dying process they let off a toxin into our body and it goes into our bloodstream and tissues so fast, we can’t eliminate it and that’s when our symptoms increase and inflammation increases. This is called a HERXHEIMER REACTION. When we treat, we kill it off, then it releases a toxin, and it’s our job to help our body DETOX, and this helps us not suffer the symptoms of a HERXHEMER. I would feel the effects if I didn’t detox during the first stages of treatment and even today I now know when I need a good detox. My Most Favourite way that helps me feel INSTANTLY BETTER is the COFFEE ENEMA and I will Post about that next blog. CAN’T WAIT.
Activated Charcoal Face Mask
- 1/2 Teaspoon bentonite clay
- 1/4 Teaspoon Activated Charcoal
Directions
- Mix distilled water in until you have consistency you like. Get a Paint brush and Apply thin coat.
I love to apply an oil on my face after. I like to use rosehip seed oil or coconut oil or a favourite moisturizing oil.
To apply the activated charcoal to teeth I just dip my tooth brush into the powder and slowly get it in my mouth (remember this powder is not fun to clean) brush my teeth for about 2 mins with it then rinse. Note that if you have crowns, or veneers they may stain.
