The practice of doing detoxes and cleanses to rid it of unhealthy toxins has been around for centuries. Today the marketplace is cluttered with detoxes that promise to help you lose weight, boost your energy levels and more. However, many popular detoxes and cleanses, especially those that involve extreme low-calorie fasting, can rob the body of important nutrients and place the body in starvation mode, which actually slows your metabolism. Other downsides of many detoxes and cleanses include: dehydration, fatigue, dizziness, nausea and even colon damage.
At Organic Roots we offer a variety of all natural detoxes and cleanses that make sure your body gets what it needs while cleaning the body of toxins.
Before Detoxes and Cleanses
A couple of days prior to beginning your cleanse, it is a good idea to start eliminating coffee, alcohol, dairy, red meat, sugar, and white flour and bread products. Maximizing fruits, vegetables, and whole grains will make the transition into your cleanse much easier!
During Dextoxes and Cleanses
On the morning of your first day, alkalize your body with a warm glass of water with fresh, raw, organic lemon juice and/or a tablespoon organic raw apple cider vinegar. A little while later, when your body feels the need for something more, begin with your juices for the day. Also be sure to drink lots of water! This will help you eliminate all the toxins from your body.
After the Cleanse
Your body has been hard at work resting your digestive tract. You want to ease it back into its normal function by introducing gentle foods first. Your first meals should be organic smoothies, soups, salads, and veggies, or lighter proteins like beans or steamed fish. With each meal, gradually re-introduce heavier foods one at a time to give your body a chance to catch up. Be mindful and carry the way you feel after your cleanse into your everyday life by making wise food choices going forward.
After completing a cleanse you should feel:
- Feel energized
- Have an increased sense of well-being
- Shed some pounds
- Have taken steps toward good health!

Master Cleanse/Lemonade Diet
The classic, cleansing lemonade diet, now certified organic and in convenient powder form.*
• Organic Grade B Maple Syrup Powder
• Organic Lemon Juice Crystals
• Organic Cayenne
• Gluten Free
The lemonade cleansing diet has been used for decades.* It was designed and initially promoted in 1942 by Naturopath Stanley Burroughs as a liquid fast to rid the body of toxins. Industrial pollutants in the air we breathe and water we drink, chemical residues in processed foods, strange molecules from our medicines, and cooking pans, have all embedded themselves in tissues and organs. No one in the world is exempt. The unwelcome metabolic waste and foreign substances are sent on their way out of the body through major excretory channels: The urinary tract, bowels, breath, and perspiration. People feel revitalized, and most notice a loss of excess body fat as the detoxification process moves forward.

COLON CLEANSE
Psyllium Husk
Psyllium husk is an amazing shrub-like herb that is most commonly found in India. It possesses a plethora of health benefits and has proven effective in treating irritable bowel syndrome, colon caner, constipation, diabetes, high cholesterol, obesity, ulcerative colitis and atherosclerosis among various other health conditions. Akin to flax seed and oat bran, the fiber in psyllium husk is soluble. Soluble fiber is useful in lowering bad cholesterol (LDL) which reduces the risk of heart disease and promotes overall health.
Psyllium husk is a bulking fiber, which means once ingested it expands and forms a gelatin-like mass in the colon by drawing water in. Once this occurs the husks are able to “scrub” the intestines clean and transport waste through the intestinal tract.
