Spring Renewal: Time to Detox and Cleanse!

As the subtle signs of spring unfold around us, it's time to sync our bodies to the energetic shifts of the season. What better way to plunge into this time of cleansing, rejuvenation, and growth than to treat your body to a Botanical Mud Detox Treatment! This service provides the benefits of aromatherapy, botanical infused oils, and detoxifying muds to help the body rid itself of toxins in an herb infused steam canopy.  In addition to taking advantage of the wonderful treatments here at the center, you can support optimal health and well being by engaging in activities that allow you to let in spring's renewing energy.

Clean out that closet, give away old clothes, and dive into your kitchen cabinets to bring new energy into your space. Make sure to stretch, eat green, drink plenty of water, and spend more time outside!

When we acknowledge the roles that our liver and gall bladder play in regulating the flow of energy throughout our body, we become in tune with our emotional body as well. In Chinese Traditional Medicine, the organs associated with spring are the liver and gall bladder, and when they are out of balance, we tend to become rigid, inflexible, and our emotions become difficult to manage. Anger, rage, edginess, aggression and stress related difficulties can rise to the surface like sap from a tree.

We can cleanse our systems through a greener diet. Eating plenty of nourishing foods such as:

    greens – eat lots of green vegetables
    legumes
    asparagus
    quinoa
    whole grains
    drink 1 teaspoon of apple cider vinegar, lemon, lime, or grapefruit juice with a tsp. of honey in 8 ounces of water, or squeeze a 1/4 lemon into a glass of warm water in the morning.

will help to decongest the liver and bring our body back into harmony.

In essence, it's always helpful to take a holistic approach to caring for ourselves. This spring, take care of the things you need to do in order to spring forward!
