Beginning my "Master Cleanse"~

Right now its about 12 am Tuesday morning and I'm drinking a cup of Smooth Move Tea organic herbal laxative tea. This is the first time trying it for me, so I will report on how it works later on today. The taste isn't bad at all- Sweet and a little bitter with a citrus orange and spicy taste.  It's smooth going down my throat. The ingredients are senna, fennel, orange peel, cinnamon, coriander and ginger. The side of the box states that it  " provides gentle, overnight relief from occasional constipation ( irregularity). Senna leaf promotes bowel movement by direct action on the intestine."
I'm not constipated. I just think that starting out by cleansing my body is a good thing. After all the sweets and goodies I have eaten during the holidays, I need it. To have your body cleaned out has got to improve sluggishness in the body and the mind, and I would think improve how your skin looks too. I should state that I am in good over-all health to begin with so I did not consult my doctor first, but if you have questions about it, I would say to consult your doctor about any kind of fitness/ wellness plan you want to start on.
As a side note, I also believe in enemas, so after I do this "Smooth Moves" laxative tea, I will follow up with one. I have been doing them for quite a few years and they make me feel sooo good. I don't do the pre- packaged from the store kind though. I bought an  enema bag and i just fill it with good ol'  warm  ( not too hot- not too cold) water from the tap. I seriously feel alot better when my insides are clean. I know it may squeek some people out, but thats just my preference.
The " Master Cleanse" lemonade drink, if you have not heard of it consists of water, lemon juice, cheynne pepper and maple syrup. You drink this concoction for however many days you feel is best for you. They say to also do a sea salt water drink daily too, along with the "Smooth Moves"-  below is the recipe from http://mastercleansesecrets.com


 The first is for a single serving of the master cleanse lemonade. The second will make 6 servings

#1 (single serving):

• 2 Tablespoons of organic lemon Juice (about 1/2 a Lemon)
• 2 Tablespoons of Organic grade B maple syrup (not the commercial maple flavored syrup you use on pancakes)
• 1/10 Teaspoon Cayenne pepper powder
• Ten ounces of filtered water

#2 (60 oz. daily serving):

• 60 ounces of filtered water
• 12 Tablespoons of organic grade B maple syrup
• 12 Tablespoons of organic lemon juice
• 1/2 Teaspoon cayenne pepper powder

There are a couple important things to remember when preparing the lemonade.

For one, the lemon juice used must be fresh squeezed. This cannot be emphasized enough. It is necessary to use fresh produce. Canned juice won't work and will erase most of the benefits of using the master cleanser diet.

Also, the maple syrup must be grade B maple syrup, not the sugar filled syrup that is used at the breakfast table.

The cayenne pepper might seem unnecessary, but it is actually very important. Not only does it help to add a bit of a kick, but the pepper helps to break up mucus and increases healthy blood flow. It also is a good source of B and C vitamins, commonly referred to as Super Vitamins due to their many benefits for the body.

Mixing teas with the recipe is one way to help modify things, just make sure It's decaffeinated tea because caffeine can restrict blood vessels and we want to keep your body passages as open as possible.

Adding a Natural Laxative To Help Flush Out Your System

Taking a laxative will speed up the detoxing process, and help your body eliminate waste.

I prefer ingestible laxatives like, sea salts, and herbal tea. These are ideal methods for cleaning the colonic tract without the harmful effects of colonics and enemas.

Drinking 1 teaspoon of unrefined non-iodized sea salt mixed with 25-35 ounces of water will flush out your system.

It's best to use either of these laxatives (or both of them) 2 times a day. I've found it best to take them in the morning and before I go to bed.

Also, I advise you give yourself at least an hour and a half before you go out when you do this. These laxatives will work fast, and you will discover why you should probably be at home near a bathroom when you use them.

So there you have it- What my first few days will consist of- Sea Salt water drink in a.m- The Lemonade Drink through-out the day, a Smooth Moves Tea at night.  Like i said, I'm not sure how many days I will do this- I'm shooting for at least five,  but I will report daily on how I feel, if I'm hungry etc. Stay tuned!
