The best detox cleanser is based on what holistic practitioner Edgar Cayce recommended to clear and tone the bowel: apples. While there are many different herbs that you could take, eating apples for at least three days and taking olive oil on the fourth day (to completely clear the bowel), is a no-fuss detox that can be done anywhere.
If you have any serious health issues, get medical clearance from your physician first.
Why Apples?
Apples provide both types of fiber: soluble and soluble. Both are needed to move waste through the gastrointestinal tract and out of the colon.
Apples also have pectin and are easily digested by most people. This detox works with any kind of fresh apple, so eating only apples (and drinking water, herbal teas, not coffee, alcohol or sodas) is not difficult.
You can choose to eat the apples raw, grated, juiced (include the skin of the apples for the insoluble fiber), baked or even briefly broiled. Skip the microwave, however; that kills the valuable vitamin C.
Apple Detox Cleanse Diet
For three days, eat only apples of any type but make sure you consume fresh fruit. Do not drink apple juice made from concentrate or apple sauce: They lack the enzymes you need.
Fuji, Jonathan, Red Delicious, Yellow Delicious, Washington Reds and all other types of fresh apples are appropriate. Eat several different kinds so you avoid boredom.
Drink water between your apple meals and detox teas such as red clover, buckthorn root, comfrey, dandelion and yellow dock. On the fourth day, consume 2 tbsp.of olive oil with a wedge of lemon or orange (to cut the taste of the oil) to clear the colon.
Benefits
Why bother doing a detox cleanse? We are exposed to environmental pollution from pesticides sprayed on food and car pollution that can trap toxins in the body. To detox, eating apples will move waste from the colon, which will make it easier for the body's other organs to detox. The liver, kidneys, lungs and gallbladder will function more easily if the colon is not "backed up" with waste, as happens with irregularity.
Once you complete an apple detox, continue to eat fresh fruits, vegetables, dried fruits and consume herbal teas to stay regular. Doing so will move more toxins out of the body. This can improve digestion, assimilation and reduce constipation.
