Seven Day Homemade Detox Program

Mind is All

You want to detox, but you don’t want to buy an over-the-counter detox or cleanse kit. This natural detox plan is easy and gradual, making it easy to stick to. It’s best to follow this detox plan over the course of a week.

On Monday and Tuesday, you'll want to begin your cleanse by eliminating sugar and fats from your meal plan. You'll also begin your period of abstaining from alcohol on Monday, continuing this until the following Monday. Eliminate or reduce caffeine use, too.

Wednesday and Thursday – Eliminate processed foods, meat, and dairy from your diet. Try to drink at least 50% more water than you usually do.

You'll take the final plunge on the last three days of the detox plan as you commit to an organic, raw fruit and veggie diet plan for Friday, Saturday, and Sunday.

Your hardcore, three-day detox plan will look like the following: Drink water, senna tea, fasting support tea, and Master Cleanse lemonade (lemon juice, water, cayenne pepper, and pure maple syrup, to taste) throughout all three days.

Be sure to eat something every couple of hours. You’ll want to keep portions small, but alternate between raw fruit and raw vegetables. Be sure to wash the produce well to remove pesticides.

Faciliate bowel movements. It's important to let your body's urges guide you; don't hold anything in longer than is neccessary.

When detoxing, you'll want to plan for enough downtime to catch up on sleep. Your body needs to put its energy to cleansing and renewing.

Get a massage. Massage therapy helps your body release toxins. Ask for a full-body Swedish or deep-muscle massage. When you go in for the massage, tell the therapist you are detoxing, and be sure to hydrate well.

Engage in mild exercise. You may want to walk, hike, or practice yoga, all of which will work up a cleansing sweat.

Cleanse your biggest organ, your skin. Enjoy lengthy showers, soaping up with all-natural products. Use the body brush on dry skin, exfoliating and stimulating your pores to release even more toxins.

On Monday, you’ll want to return to your normal habits slowly. After feeling so clean and refreshed, you may decide to change some of your ways permanently.
