The liver is the master of detoxification, but our lifestyleand environment often prevent the process. Our everyday life is filled with plastics, alcohol andeveryone’s beloved, coffee. Many of us see this assomething that anchors us, yet it is also the cause of poorsleep, acne, unbalanced hormones and a sluggish liver. Give your liver some love! Give your liver some time torest and your boy some time to heal.The liver is the major organ of detoxification that breaksdown metabolic waste and environmental toxins. It thensends most of the (water) waste to the kidneys and the(fat) waste to the intestines to be eliminated (via thebile/gallbladder).Therefore, doing a liver detox or gallbladder flush withoutfirst cleansing the colon and kidneys is like trying to flusha big load down a clogged toilet.DETOXING THE LIVER

Good Morning MouthAlong with the removal of ama, tongue scraping will also eliminate nastymorning breath.Ease DigestionThe body and mind work together to tell the body just what you are eatingand how to break it down. However, when the taste buds are blocked, foodmay be unrecognizable and the receptors in the tongue become unable toconvey the right messages to your brain. A vicious circle of poor digestionstarts. Boost ImmunityImmunity is actually boosted by simply eliminating ama from the tongue.The removal of these toxins prevents them from being reabsorbed into thebody and allows the immune system to work more efficiently.Here’s How to Scrape Your Tongue1. Each day, start the practice of tongue scraping after brushing your teethfirst thing in the morning.2. Relaxing the tongue so that your scraper contacts maximum surfacearea, place the scraper as far back on the tongue as comfortable. Gentlyyet firmly, scrape the entire surface from back to front.3. Rinse the scraper well with hot water after each use.4. Repeat this process, until your tongue looks clean, and pinkish or red incolour..Click here to order your Tongue ScraperTONGUE SCRAPING BASICS

1. You can use your neti pot over a sink or bowl; in the shower; or outside. 2. Prepare the solution: it is recommended you use distilled water, or boilyour own tap water (let it cool before using.). Use warm water. Use the ratioof ½ to 1 teaspoon of salt to two cups of water. This results in the body’s ownsaline ratio of 0.9%. Stir it well into the warm water. 4. Begin the flush: just lean over your bowl or sink, tilt the head sideways soyour face is horizontal, insert the neti pot spout into the upper nostril. Be surethe spout is fully inserted so water cannot leak out that nostril. Open yourmouth and breathe through your mouth while you gently pour. 5. After a few seconds, the water will begin to stream out of the lower nostril. 6. Use half your solution in the first nostril; save the remainder for thesecond. 7. In between nostrils, you can stand upright and GENTLY blow your nose toclear it. 8. If some water drains into your throat, it’s OK. Simply spit it out. Work on our technique and the angle of your head till the water remains flowingonly in and out of the nasal passages. How Often Should I Use a Neti Pot? Most people develop a routine of flushing their sinuses either morning ornight. It can be done any time of the day – and may help before strenuousexercise, or after activities like mowing the lawn which can introduce moreallergens into the body.Click here to order your Neti PotNETI POT BASICS

1. Begin brushing by starting at your feet and moving in long sweepingmotions toward your heart. Always brush toward your heart.2. Brush several times in each area, overlapping as you go.3. Take care as you brush over more sensitive areas, like breasts. Yourskin will become less sensitive the more you dry brush.4. Once you've brushed your entire body, jump in the shower. (I like toalternate between the hottest water temperature I can tolerate and thecoldest. This stimulates blood circulation, bringing more blood to the toplayers of the skin.)7. After getting out of the shower, pat dry skin and apply a natural fruitoil like rose hip or coconut oil.8. Continue to dry brush your entire body every day. Twice a day isrecommended for best results. Remember to clean your brush with soap and water once a week. Leave to dry in a clean, sunny spot toavoid any mildew accumulation on your brush.Some benefits of dry skin brushing:Exfoliates dead skin | Stimulates your lymphatic system | Reducescellulite | Unclogs pores and de-congests skin.Click Here To order your Natural Bristle Body BrushBODY BRUSHING BASICS
