SPRING CLEANING THE BODY!






ASK DR. MAO

From the words of Dr. Maoshing Ni otherwise known as Dr. Mao, a Taoist Traditional Chinese Doctor in Santa Monica, California.

Spring Clean Your Body

"Upon the arrival of spring, human cultures throughout the ages have instinctively cleansed and detoxified themselves and reorganized their living environments. The reasons are well-founded. First, we naturally need to cast off the winter blues and feel renewed. Second, according to Chinese medicine, the liver is most active in the detoxification process during the spring.

Toxins are processed and neutralized by the liver and gall bladder and are expelled from the body through the spleen-lymphatic system, skin, bladder, and bowels.

Simple things you can do to help rid your body of toxins include: simplify your diet daily, drink a lemon squeezed in a glass of hot water upon rising and drink vegetable juices.
