Spring cleaning is an annual ritual to clear out all of the dust, cobwebs, and clutter that have accumulated in your home over the winter. Our bodies also deserve a “spring cleaning” to flush out toxins that have accumulated over time. Adding a detoxifying cleanse to your annual routine can help increase your energy flow and help with your overall well-being.

Breathing, Sweating, and Eliminating

The simplest ways for your body to naturally eliminate toxins are through breathing, sweating, and eliminating through your gastrointestinal system. There are a wide variety of methods for cleansing your body, along with many different levels of intensity. However, the simplest and single most important step you can take to help your body flush out toxins is to drink more water. Adding more movement to your daily routine can also help increase your circulation and release endorphins, which act as positive mood boosters.

Several techniques to help your body eliminate toxins include:

• Alternating between hot and cold water in the shower to help promote blood circulation to the skin
• Sitting in a sauna or hot tub to promote toxin elimination through sweating
• Getting a massage incorporating Young Living’s Ortho Sport^®, Ortho Ease^®, Relaxation^™, or Sensation^™ massage oils to help break up lactic acid buildup in the muscles

Young Living’s Juva products also provide a natural way to assist the body’s natural cleansing functions:

• JuvaCleanse^® and JuvaFlex^® essential oil blends help support the body’s digestive system.
• JuvaPower^® and JuvaSpice^® can be sprinkled on foods to add extra fiber and nutrients to your digestive system.
• JuvaTone^® tablets provide vital nutrients to support a healthy digestive system.
