Herbal Equinox Cleaning through herbal teas and vegetable-based detoxification and cleanse!

The Equinoxes are time to re-energize from winter’s stagnancy or prepare for the long winter ahead and boost your innate metabolism and lymphatic function (immune response). During the Spring and Autumn, the organs of elimination need some attention. At ApotheKara, we believe the Equinox times are ideal times to cleanse your body and detoxify any impurities from the winter or summer. These impurities could be inflammatory or infectious in nature and could be affecting your overall vibrancy and energy levels!  ApotheKara recommends a gentle cleansing process in 3 segments. During the entire 9-day period you drink a blended herbal tea designed specifically for your health needs. First 3 days is a diet rich in fresh vegetables, seeds, nuts, fermented foods and whole grains, weaning off wheat, any sweets including fruits, nightshades, dairy, caffeine and meats. The next 3 days consists of the soup cleanse, for these 3 days you eat soup, raw carrots, celery and cucumbers whenever you are hungry. Prepare a soup from our recipes!  The last 3 days is back on the same diet of the first 3 days, but now adding fruit first thing in morning. After the 9 days you introduce foods slowly back into your diet, being mindful to see the sensations or effects each food offers.  Introduce one new food type at each day and observe your digestive response and energy levels.
