Many people have been asking about the Master Cleanse. So here are the instructions for the master cleanse.
Here are some of the reasons for doing the master cleanse or as many call it The Lemonade Diet.
- Helps get rid of toxins
- Helps eliminate waste
- Cleanse the digestive system and the major organs
- Helps build healthy blood cells
- Clears up irritation throughout the body
- Also will jump start weight loss
What is the Master Cleanse?
It’s pure water with the addition of fresh lemon juice, pure maple syrup and cayenne pepper. The maple syrup gives you a few calories to help satisfy you and the cayenne pepper is good for the blood stream.
Recipe
8 ounces pure water
2tbsp, 100% pure maple syrup, preferably #2 grade
1/10 tsp cayenne pepper
Drink this mixture whenever you are thirsty or hungry, no more than12 glasses a day. Start with room temperature lemons, juice and add to the water, add the maple syrup, cayenne pepper and drink. You can make enough for the whole day, but store in a glass container, not plastic, in the refrigerator. Make a fresh batch daily.
I remember when I was a girl, we would visit my Aunt and Uncle in Old Orchard Beach, Maine and my aunt would have warm water and fresh lemon juice every morning. I asked her why and she said that it flushed out her system and got rid of impurities. So this concept has been around for quite a while.
Drink 1 cup of herbal laxative tea every evening and do a salt water flush every morning.
Salt Water Flush
The salt water flush is done the first thing in the morning. Make sure you are near a bathroom.
The flush consists of 2 teaspoons of un-iodized salt dissolved in 1 quart of warm water. You have to drink it down, not sip it.
It is not the most pleasant experience and many people are not able to accomplish this step.
It doesn’t work for everyone and some people just can not get the whole quart of water down without gagging.
Many people say that the cleansing effect is wonderful, but it’s not for everyone.
But the people that can tolerate it feel like a deep cleansing has been accomplished.
Don’t feel that you can’t do the master cleanse if you can’t tolerate the salt water flush. You can do the fast but substitute a different type of morning flush. That will still be an effective cleanse.
This a strict form of fasting, very similar to the water fast. The benefits are very good but it’s difficult to do. If you feel this is too strict for you, there are many other forms of fasting that are a little easier to do. But remember fasting is a very unique experience and the results are really great.
But don’t discount fruit fasting, juice fasting, or intermittent fasting. All are very helpful to cleansing your system and giving you a boost that you may need health-wise.
Do not attempt this fast if you have any health issues or take large amounts of medicines.
And always check with your health care professional before doing a fast or changing your diet.
