Spring is in the Air

Did someone say spring is in the air?  It sure doesn't feel like it with temperatures hovering around 40°, but sure enough, cherry blossoms will be blooming, tulips will be bursting, and spring will have sprung.  Many of us think about doing a little spring cleaning around the house, but how about a little spring cleaning on ourselves? A great book we recently read, Staying Healthy with the Seasons by Elson M. Haas, suggests, ”…springtime seems to be the best time for major cleansing, drinking nourishing liquids, such as fruits and vegetable juices, for a period of five to ten days or longer.”  While that may be a bit much for some folks, starting with a few days and working up will help get your spring off to a good start.  One of the spring cleansing programs the author recommends is Stanley Burrough's Master Cleanser listed below. As always, it’s a good idea to check with your health physician prior to starting any new health regimens to see what works best for you.  

Stanley Burrough's Master Cleanser

2 tbs fresh squeezed Lemon or Lime juice
1-2 tbs maple syrup
1/10 tsp (or a dash) cayenne pepper
8 ounce of spring or filtered water - drink liberally (6-12 glasses) throughout the day

See you soon!
