Thread: detox programs you recommend

anyone want to share their favorite way of detoxing? (other than abstaining)

um..anyone ever hear of or do a coffee enema?

sorry posted in wrong forum!!

My favorite detox is from the book "What If the Buddha Came to Dinner"? There is no abstention (which I am strongly against).

I believe that too frequent enemas will cause eventual peristalsis b/c you're not encouraging the muscles to do the elimination work it was meant to be doing on its own (like wearing a back-brace instead of strengthening your abs to fight back pain).

Too frequent, yes but occasional enemas or colonics can be a great help to a detox program.

I guess it kind of depends on what kind of detoxing you want to do. Daily, seasonally, month long, etc. I like a good juice cleanse once in a while and teas and herbs for daily detox. Lots of water is super important for proper elimination, but I'm sure you know that.

In the past, I've done ayurvedic panchakarma treatments. These involve oily massages, herb massages, sweating and wrapping you up like a mummy to make you sweat more. Plus, castor oil ( eeekkk ). If there are ayurvedic docs in your area, they would be a good resource. I used to do panchakarma twice a year. I always looked fantastic after it was done ( treatments would last for about half a week ).

i love that we can talk about all sorts of crap on bhuz
