A natural cleanse can help reset the digestive system, improve liver function, and enhance overall health. My Nana’s recipe focuses on using natural ingredients known for their detoxifying and healing properties.
Nana’s Cleansing Recipe: The Ingredients
Lemon: Lemon is rich in vitamin C and antioxidants, which help boost the immune system and aid in detoxification. The acidity of lemon juice can stimulate bile production, supporting the liver in breaking down fats and removing waste.
Ginger: Ginger is a powerful anti-inflammatory and antioxidant. It aids digestion by stimulating saliva, bile, and gastric enzymes. Ginger also helps reduce bloating and discomfort in the digestive tract.
Turmeric: Turmeric contains curcumin, a compound known for its anti-inflammatory and liver-protective properties. It helps the liver detoxify harmful substances and promotes bile production, improving digestion and nutrient absorption.
Garlic: Garlic is a natural antibiotic and has powerful detoxifying properties. It helps stimulate the production of liver enzymes, which are crucial for flushing out toxins. Garlic also supports healthy gut flora, promoting overall digestive health.
Apple Cider Vinegar: Apple cider vinegar helps balance stomach acid levels, which can improve digestion and nutrient absorption. It also supports the liver in detoxifying the blood and has antimicrobial properties that benefit gut health.
Warm Water: Warm water helps the body absorb the ingredients more effectively and soothes the digestive tract. It also aids in the natural elimination process, promoting regular bowel movements.
