Spring Cleaning!

As Spring rapidly approaches, many of us are already considering yet another disciplined 3 to 30 day Cleanse &/or Fast, and in general, just feeling an impending need to spend more time outdoors & start "detoxing" (whatever that means!) LOL! And it's a very good instinct, in fact, that is what Spring & spring herbs are for... for activation! and amplification! and detoxification! "Out with the Old, In with the New!" our bodies cry! And as an experienced detoxer and amateur herbalist, I do think we should heed this call, maybe 2 to 3 times a year when a small or lengthy cleanse would benefit the body; but I also feel it's vitally important to remember that every body, every person is different and so, before starting any online fad diet or trying a new chinese herb, we must each consider what will make our detox process personal & practical, in addition to being spiritual and truly transformative?!

Detoxing for weight loss, chronic inflammation, adrenal support, drug & alcohol abuse, PTSD, Diabetes, immune boosting and other longterm health issues needs to be considered carefully and a patient & purposeful plan should be drafted with the guidance of trusted healthcare providers. Ultiamtely, the detox process can neither be rushed nor terminated w/o negative consequence. There's no such thing as a quick fix when it comes to mind, body & spiritual detoxing! Rome was not built in a day nor has its consequent havoc been fully cleaned up since!! Whatever toxins we've put in over the years (including undigested foods, sugars, caffeine, Candidas yeast, alcohol, and of course, the biggest toxin of all: Stress!) at some point must be cleansed & the body allowed to rest & repair (sometimes for upwards of 6 months to 2 years if necessary depending on sensitivity & toxicity levels!) Haphazard detoxes can cause more harm than good, however; without detoxification, inevitable organ damage and chronic fatigue issues will escalate & then must be dealt with more drastic measures, such as surgery and medication.

So, not to scare you, but FYI, it really is worthwhile to do some research and ask around, (feel free to FB me anytime!) as well as meditate & really intuit what YOUR body & mind and life really need to feel truly healed + alive! Who do you want to see in the mirror? And why? And what small but important changes can you make today that will start benefitting you immediately?

I've come to learn that it is not Superfoods or Herbal Teas or alternative practicioners that heal us, only Nature heals. Only Love heals. Only Time heals. If your digestion is slow, you won't be able to break down and absorb the vital nutrients from the Super expensive Superfoods you just ordered online! But you can go outside and sit in the grass with your barefeet and catch a few rays and breathe deep and listen to birds and stretch and relax and meditate and sip some tea and write a poem and call a friend and laugh and nap and most likely, even after just 10 minutes, you will already start feeling better!

And with the addition of an intelligent & intuitive individualized detox plan with kind support from loved ones & wellness practioners, you really can make some wonderfully dramatic & lifelong changes fairly quickly! Please note that in my limited opinion, there's no such thing as "one size fits all" kind of how-to for detoxing. *Every meal plan, herbal treatment, symptom/reaction (physical &/or emotional) should be assessed as you go to determine the ideal length of detox and make necessary adjustments!

But with all that in mind, I wish you all a truly Happy Spring!
And Happy Detox!
