Having known the benefit of seasonal detoxification, it is then important for us how to do it. The best way to begin a spring cleanse, and to optimize results, is to incorporate cleansing and alkalizing foods, nutrients, botanicals, and mind-body healing practices into a gentle program. Whether the cleanse lasts for three days, three weeks, or longer, these tips can help align us with the seasonal transition. They also allow healing and transformation to spring forth naturally.

    According to Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM) philosophy, every season correlates to different ‘elements’ or organ systems in the body. For example, winter correlates with the water element and the kidneys/bladder system. From a Western naturopathic perspective, cold weather can put stress on your adrenal and thyroid glands. As a result, the blood becomes more acidic, and there is a buildup of lactic acid. This can lead to sluggishness, muscle and joint pain, and arthritis.

    Both Eastern and Western naturopathic medical systems agree that the transition from winter to spring offers an ideal opportunity to shed extra weight. It is also a good time to gently cleanse accumulated toxins from the body. This excess buildup can be the result of numerous factors. The main causes include unhealthy diet, poor digestion, lack of exercise, winter dehydration, normal metabolic processes, and environmental pollution.

    In TCM, spring corresponds to the liver and the gall bladder. A gentle spring cleanse effectively supports the liver’s vital detoxification processes. It also eliminates toxins stored in organs and tissues, helps shed excess weight, alkalizes the body, and gets your circulation and energy moving. Digestion is improved and inflammation is reduced. Moreover, blood sugar is balanced and immune functions better.

    A cleansing diet is the most critical component of any detoxification program. Animal protein, particularly red meat, should be minimized during a cleanse. It emphasizes on lighter, organic plant-based proteins that are easier for the body to digest. Below are the critical components of a detox diet which can help improve digestion and enhance detoxification, resulting in greater energy and vitality.
