| infecting ingredients reduce the growth of unpleasant bacteria in the mouth. |
| Nasal rinsing. Sinus congestion is a common cleansing reaction. To relieve it, use a Neti Pot (see Appendix) or nasal douche apparatus from your local pharmacy to rinse the sinuses with a lukewarm solution of sea salt and water or salt dissolved in a strained herbal tea (chamomile and comfrey are soothing for this purpose) at about sea water strength. Repeat as needed. |
| Exercise. Exercise moderately. Fresh air and deep breathing are important now, but an ambitious detoxification program is no time to embark on unusually long hikes, jog at a fast pace or do hard physical work. Yoga and stretching exercises, especially inverted postures, are beneficial. An easy way to invert your body is on a slant board (see Appendix). By turning your body at least partly upside down, you relieve pressure on internal organs, stimulate digestion and elimination and increase the flow of blood to the head, all of which will help relieve unpleasant symptoms while supporting detoxification. |
| Hydrotherapy. Dissolve 4 to 6 pounds of Epsom salts in hot water in your bathtub, then fill the tub with comfortably warm or hot water. Immerse your body as completely as possible, add more water as needed to keep the bath warm and stay in the tub as long as possible, at least 15 to 20 minutes. Epsom salt baths help pull toxins from the skin. If desired, combine Epsom salts with baking soda, salt and/or the laundry product borax, as all have similar effects. |
