How to detox with the seasons

According to Traditional Chinese Medicine, every season is in tune with some system of your body. Try to match the organ cleanses with the season for best results:· Summer: During this time focus on the cleansing and restoration of organs that focus on circulation and heat distribution, your small intestine and heart.

· Fall: Cleansing and restoring the spleen and stomach should be your focus this season.

· Winter: Rejuvenating the kidneys and bladder is the goal this season.

· Spring: This is the season to rejuvenate your gall bladder and liver, the work horses of the body.



In summer, it is the season to choose foods which are in season. This will help your body cleanse the small intestine and rejuvenate the heart.

Your small Intestinal health is also connected to your pancreas. This is also a beneficial time for people with diabetes to do a cleanse.

There are many water-filled fruits that grow when the heat of summer can make you dehydrated. So many people drink beer, soda and coffee to quench their thirst instead.

You need to start paying attention to the foods you choose to put in your body. Nature provides what your body needs in the season it needs it.

This is a good time to cut back on refined and fatty foods or even take a rest from food and do a cleanse.

In autumn, focus on cleansing and restoring the spleen and stomach. This is the last time you can cleanse to build up your immune system for winter.

Winter is the season of many holidays and rich food. It is hard not to indulge in stews and soups that are heavily cooked and seasoned. Try not to eat too much and keep an eye on your waistline. The fruit of the season, cranberries, are excellent for a juice cleanse before the heavy foods of the holidays. They are good for rejuvenating the kidneys and bladder

This is also a good time to use olive oil on your skin to prevent the dry air of winter heating dry out your skin, too. Winter foods like squashes and root vegetables are loaded with vitamin A, which is protector of the mucous membranes, skin, thyroid gland and eyesight, and acts as an anti-oxidant.

Now that spring has arrived it's time to turn your focus to your liver and gallbladder for cleansing and detoxification.

Your liver has been working overtime from processing all the toxins in the holiday foods we eat to the indoor pollution in your body has had to deal with in sealed offices, in cars during our commute to and from work, to our homes, with new furnishings and indoor fragrances and scented candles as we decorate for the winter holidays. It is so important to care for these organs during this season and give them a break form working overtime. Other problems that appear in spring are the allergies and their related health concerns. The indoor air over the winter has done a number on our respiratory system and some people may have become hyper-sensitive. Add in the neighbors getting their lawns in shape with fertilizer, bug and weed spray, and just cutting the grass every weekend. There is no where to hide. 

You can also start Dry Skin Brushing to stimulate the lymph system. Want to get your sluggish circulatory system working at peak capacity? Try using a special brush made for dry skin brushing that will work without scratching your skin too much. Start at your feet and brush in circular motion up towards your heart. Then jump in the shower to wash off any loosened skin cells.

Eating seasonal foods will help you work on a different body system in a natural rhythm the way that nature intended. Soon, you will not have to cleanse as frequently and will find that you have the energy and health you desire.
