We’re often asked: what should we eat while doing a cleanse?
Cleansing and detoxifying is an energy and nutrient intensive process. This is why we recommend you eat well and eat wisely when doing a cleanse. If you’ve kicked off the New Year with a cleanse or have committed to using Flor•Essence® regularly to support your overall health, it is important to include plenty of water throughout the day. The herbs in Flor•Essence® have diuretic properties so that you will urinate more. For a fresh twist on water, try this recipe for Herbal Sun Water, created by Holistic Nutritionist, Lindsay Young.
