Dieppe Wellness Expo April 20 & 21, and a link to the dandelion tea blog


Here's a copy of the Dieppe Wellness Expo April 20 & 21  Handout 

Spring into better, more vibrant health with these daily detoxification steps:

  1. Drink enough water.
How much is enough? Start with your weight in pounds, divide this in two, and drink about that many ounces throughout the day. Drink room temperature water away from meals. Complete your intake at least 43 hours before bedtime to avoid waking to urinate.

  1. Support your major organ of detoxification.
Take nutritional substances and, or herbs to assist the liver’s cleansing functions. Turmeric, rosemary and milk thistle are all excellent choices and are generally safe (check with your ND, MD, or pharmacist first).

  1. Sweat through exercise and, or the use of saunas.
When was the last time your moved your body with the intention of working up a sweat? Recall a time that physical movement was joyful and fun for you. Envision a way, within your current life situation to move like this again. How can you make this vision a reality? Thirty  
minutes three times a week is a reasonable, health inducing,  and attainable goal for regular exercise.

  1. Use a dry skin brush to stimulate the lymphatic system and the skin.
Start with small circular brush movements at the tips of your toes, tops and bottoms, front and back,  continue to brush in small circular strokes from toes towards the heart, eventually brushing all of your skin surfaces before your daily bath or shower.

  1. Practice Breathing exercises to detoxify the lungs. 

  1. Ensure 2-3 bowel movements daily. This will likely be aided by the exercise, water, skin brushing, breathing and herbal support, if your bowels are still sluggish you may benefit from dietary improvements and supplementing with a soluble fiber such as flax seed or psyillium. 
here's an very informative blog post about making dandelion tea, in terms of where to harvest would find a friend who dos not chemically treat their land or lawn, and ask them if you can remove their dandelion roots for them.
