Springtime- the vigor of new energy, the smell of fresh flowers, and the urge to clean our temples; both homes and bodies.
Dedicating my life to understanding the truth behind what a truly clean temple looks and feels like, naturopathic medicine has taught me that the cause of most all dis-ease is based on the accumulation of metabolic poisoning and environmental contamination.
It's Dr. Lucinda here and with my 34 years in naturopathic medicine practice, including years of natural medical school, our medical education was all about eliminating toxins and naturally ridding the culprits of dis-ease; not just masking the symptoms with toxic pharmaceuticals.
This truth is now being unearthed by evidence of patients healing miraculously with natural therapies like detoxing, light and oxygen. Simple, yet effective. Kind of like Springtime.
Naturopathic physicians were not educated on how drugs ameliorated and suppressed physical ailments; we were taught that the body's innate wisdom would heal if given the opportunity.
Fasting, botanical extracts, juicing, saunas and contrast hydrotherapy were the groundwork for health; not chemicals.
The last 50 years have inundated us with believing that we must be deficient in a drug in order to be ill; that our body is not capable of healing on its' own.
Hogwash! The truth couldn't be further from this misconception.
Our health is built on our ability to fight infection, have optimal energy and live a long happy life without drugs. Our bodies indeed have the ability to heal, given the opportunity!
And Springtime offers that perfect opportunity to clean(se), heal, and focus on our true wellness internally and externally.
Key Reasons to Cleanse in Spring:
Remove "Winter Junk": During winter, heavy, processed foods can leave the body feeling sluggish. A spring cleanse and/or fasting helps remove toxins that have built up in tissues.
Boost Immune Function: A detox helps reduce inflammation and supports the immune system, making it easier for the body to manage allergies.
Increase Energy & Mental Clarity: Clearing out toxins can reduce brain fog and improve mental focus.
Improve Digestive Health: A spring cleanse promotes the consumption of fresh fruits, vegetables, and fiber, which helps repair the digestive system and improve nutrient absorption.
Rebalance and Renew: It provides a mental and physical reset, encouraging the adoption of healthier habits, such as better sleep, increased hydration, and more physical activity.
Red Light Therapy Bed: accelerates cellular energy production, facilitating the body’s innate natural healing mechanisms allowing for whole body rejuvenation.
Contrast Plunges (cold and hot): The act of vaso (blood vessel) dilation and constriction is a long held practice that may help reduce inflammation, improve circulation, boost mood and metabolism, and enhance immunity.
Infrared Sauna: are a relaxing way to acheive detoxification and overall wellness. The heat from the infrared panels encourages the body to produce a deep sweat, thus encouraging the body's natural way to eliminate toxins, while, the specialized infrared light vibrates at a wavelength that "shakes" the cells, stimulating cellular repair, lipolysis (fat cell death) and many other benefits.
