How To Spring Clean Your Body

Your house isn’t the only thing you can spring clean—you can spring clean your body too! If you love how it feels to clean out your space and start fresh then you’ll love doing this for your body too! It will help your insides feel great so that your outsides can feel even better! Alternative medicine and natural medicine techniques can help you do this.

When we say “spring cleaning” we mean putting your body through the process of detoxification. This is when the body or particular organs go through a process that rids them of unnecessary and harmful contents. In traditional Chinese medicine, spring is associated with the liver, the main organ of detoxification.

If your liver is full of toxins, you can be experiencing side effects such as chronic headaches, neck tension, mood imbalances, foggy thinking, low energy, joint problems, and menstrual disorders. It is important to care for the liver and consistently detoxify it as we are constantly exposed to toxins and can in this way rid ourselves of these side effects.

You can detoxify your liver and spring clean it by doing the following:

• Decreasing exposure to toxins.
• Eating a whole-food, plant-based diet (to the best of your ability) based on fruits, vegetables, whole grains, legumes, nuts, and seeds.
• Adopting healthy lifestyle habits by managing stress, exercising regularly, having good sleep hygiene, and avoiding alcohol and chemicals when possible.
• Introducing nutritional and herbal supplements to protect the liver.

By cleansing the liver and body in this way, you will discover profound changes to your health and well being. The process of detoxification may be challenging and unpleasant for some individuals as they can experience strong detox side effects such as headaches, lethargy, nausea, brain fog, and digestive disturbance but the end result will always be a healthier, more satisfied liver and body.
