How to cleanse your body of toxins

Lemon juice
To detoxify the body: In the evening, cut three lemons and pour 300 to 400 milliliters of boiling water over them so that it covers them. Drink the liquid in the morning before eating.
The healing effects of lemon have a rich range. Lemon juice is a rich source of vitamin C, which helps strengthen the immune system, has a beneficial effect on the liver, and stimulates it to produce more bile. Lemon juice is also said to help relieve nausea, heartburn, and colon problems.

Lemon juice can also be used:
– for the treatment of inflammation of the oral cavity: rinse your mouth with chamomile tea with lots of lemon juice. Repeat the procedure several times a day.
– to strengthen the body’s resistance: Pour the juice of three lemons into a liter bottle, add a teaspoon of sea salt, add water and shake until the liquid foams. Take a teaspoon of this liquid every day.
– to reduce high blood pressure: In the morning before eating, drink lemon juice with 10 grams of yeast dissolved in a glass of water. Grind half a kilo of lemons in a machine, mix with the same amount of sugar and let it stand for ten days. Take a teaspoon of the mixture every morning on an empty stomach.
– for lung problems: mix 200 grams of honey with the juice of two lemons, mix one teaspoon three times a day with 250 milliliters of lemon juice, 250 milliliters of olive oil and 250 grams of sugar. We eat two teaspoons of the mixture before eating.
– against corns and blisters: Place a piece of lemon on a cotton ball and press on the blister or corns and let the patch stand overnight. Repeat the process several evenings in a row. Before putting a piece of lemon on the corns, wash your feet in warm water and scrape the corns slightly with a suitable cosmetic device.
– against poisoning: We drink lemonade from four or five lemons with water in which we dissolve the clay.
– against oily hair: Add the juice of half a lemon (for a single wash) to a mild shampoo for washing hair.

– against depression and insomnia: Before going to bed, drink the juice of one lemon, sweetened with honey or sugar and diluted with honey.
– against an inflamed nerve: Squeeze the juice of one lemon, add a little salt and soak a piece of gauze or a clean cloth with it. Place it on the affected nerve and bandage with a dry cloth.
– against stings and to repel insects: We soak the stings with lemon juice, and we repel insects by smearing ourselves with this juice.

Honey
Honey detoxifies the body and binds free radicals, which are otherwise dangerous in the development of cancer.
Honey has similar effects as lemon juice. If you dissolve honey in a glass of lukewarm lemon juice, it will heal a sore throat, strengthen your immune system, and fill your body with energy.
Honey has such a variety of healing effects that we can use it for almost any problem that befalls us. 

Honey is suitable for healing and soothing:

Be careful not to cook or heat the honey over 45 degrees, as this destroys its active ingredients. Therefore, honey is always added to tea the last time it has cooled.

We know several different types of honey, depending on what (from which plant or fruit) honey is made from. Each type of honey has its own specific properties that effectively treat and alleviate individual symptoms.
– Chestnut honey – great for speeding up digestion, improves liver function, used in chronic gastritis, wounds, and injuries, as well as in cosmetics.

Garlic
Garlic has a characteristic aroma, sweet and pungent taste. Its broad spectrum of action is attributed to more than 200 biologically active substances, the most important of which are allicin and essential oil. Due to the sulfur ingredients in the essential oil, it has an unpleasant odor, but without them, it is not healing. Garlic, among other things, also contains potassium, calcium, phosphorus, selenium, quite large amounts of vitamins B and C and protein.
Garlic is a diaphoretic, expectorant, antispasmodic, antiseptic, bacteriostatic, antifungal, antiviral, hypotensive and anthelmintic.

Garlic is used for:
– for detoxification and blood purification
– to relieve cold symptoms
– to strengthen the immune system
– to relieve inflammation of the gastrointestinal tract
– to balance the intestinal flora
– to improve anemia and fatigue
– for brain rejuvenation

Because garlic has antioxidant properties, it means that it also acts as a protection against cancer. Regular consumption of garlic protects against the development of certain types of cancer, as a component of garlic called alidisulfide prevents the growth of malignant tumors.
Garlic also regulates blood sugar and thus alleviates age-related diabetes.
For acne problems or mild skin inflammation, fresh garlic cloves can be rubbed directly into the skin.

Cranberries
Cranberries are a treasure trove of vitamins, minerals and dietary fiber. In addition to vitamin C, which is the most abundant and gives cranberries a sour, slightly astringent taste, vitamins A, B1, B2, B3 and K are also present. Among the minerals, sodium, potassium, calcium, magnesium and phosphorus play an important role. Strawberries contain glycosides (sugars) and lutein, which is very important for our vision and for healthy eyes. It is an antioxidant that prevents arterial changes in the macula and also the formation of cataracts. Cranberries and cranberry juice stimulate kidney function and help cleanse toxins from the body.
