It’s a SPRING THING!
5 ways to KICK-START your Day AND Increase your Energy!
The fundamental message of spring suggests renewal, repair and new growth. And perhaps … New ideas? Why not?
The idea of “cleansing” or empowering our eliminative pathways to work well means increasing our digestive “fire” as it’s called in Ayurvedic terms. This can best be accomplished by starting the day with a positive thought and one of 5+ great-tasting ‟tonics‟ described below. Experiment with old favourites or try something NEW!
Many health practitioners feel that “commercial cleansing programs” only serve to feed the billion dollar diet industry. In reality, I believe that if we shift away from meat and dairy, nurture our body with whole foods and focus on simple easy-to-digest meals, we will succeed, with the help of specific herbs, in strengthening our organ systems and achieving a “lightness of being”.
Each of these 5 ideas offers a different taste and combination of benefits. Why not pick one and move through the list over a period of a month? Your body will thank you !
First and foremost; Use good quality filtered water for all of these recipes. Use organic ingredients whenever possible. Keeping in mind that the goal here is to start your day in an empowering way — strengthening, nourishing, increasing digestive ability and supporting the eliminating organs and pathways.
Great info Carol! I know the headline says it’s a Spring Thing, but this is exactly what I need after the free for all of food and drink over the holidays. I have all the ingredients and am starting tomorrow!
Thanks Sandee. You are so right ~ these ideas for ‘lightening up’ can be helpful many times during the year. This “articles” section is new and, will contain longer articles. I like to keep the posts to under 3 minutes for a quick read. Pop in and let me know how it’s going. Which ‘recipe’ are you going to start with?
