General Cleansing:
- Abstaining from grains, legumes/pulses, animal products and possibly all fats/cooked foods (never forget the body needs balance)
- Dry fasting/water fasting/juice fasting (with teas/infusions/veggie broths)
- Watery raw foods
- Cleansing improves vitality and purity of the body (and when done right the mind too)
- Fasting, whether dry or water is nature's cleanse and so it is ours
- Raw fruits and vegetables can immensely help the process (when you feel actual hunger)
- Juiced raw fruits and vegetables will cleanse your digestive tract and even speed up detoxification
- Astringent herbs as well as (astringent) fruits are especially helpful for people who lived on a processed food diet (western standard diet, but also heavy amounts of flesh and animal products and cooked starches) for a long time; these include especially: Citrus fruits, grapes, apples, melons (even more so: watermelon)
- Enemas or colonics (hydro-colon therapy) can give relief to stagnation in the colon and clean the colon (which helps with a large number of ailments) and frees a lot of stuck energy with that
- Do not overwhelm your body by going too fast, if you want a gentle cleanse
- Juice cleansing (/"fasting"), be it with natural pasteurized juices or fresh (optimally cold pressed) juices will cleanse out toxins and waste matter from all parts of the body, but beware that that can be hard on the system when diving directly into this type of cleansing
- Diatomaceous earth, zeolite, bentonite clay, activated charcoal or clean earth (for example from a forest) all help with pulling out toxins like excessive heavy metals from the body; these are often used in conjunction with psyllium husk (powder) to form bulk (orally), but they are heavy on the gut and should be used with caution
- Clay poultice can be used to cleanse the body through external means (via the skin); works best when combined with fasting
- Sweating helps to divert excess heavy metals from the body
- Physical movement and massages help moving lymph, blood and stagnant energy in order to cleanse the body
- Herbs like parsley and foods like algae high in iodine as well as high chlorophyll foods like spirulina, chlorella and other greens like barleygrass juice (powder) help divert excess heavy metals
