Cleansing and Detoxification with the changing seasons

Cleansing, either by eliminating things from your diet, introducing new things or clearing our spaces of unnecessary clutter, can be a supportive way to move into the next season. Cleansing by eliminating certain parts of your diet can be a great way to rid the body of any toxins that may have built up over time, healing and resetting our bodies for the new season.

Depending on what your goals are, cleansing can look very different, but the idea is to spend a chunk of time-consuming a “cleaner” diet. This means incorporating more whole foods, like fruits, vegetables, whole grains, and nuts. This can also mean eliminating just one part of your diet for a week or 10 days, which could be sugar, caffeine, alcohol, processed foods, etc. There is a spectrum of cleansing, but based on what your needs are, practicing some sort of elimination diet can be incredibly invigorating and healing.

However, cleansing isn’t just about eliminating things from your diet, it could also include introducing certain elements into your diet to support healthy digestive and immune system function. Incorporating vitamins or supplements into your diet, based on the recommendation of a qualified health professional, can also support your overall health and have a rejuvenating effect. Bodywork, such as acupuncture or massage, can also be very beneficial and complement other cleansing practices this time of year.

Cleansing can extend beyond your physical body and into the spaces, you inhabit as well. Creating a clean, tidy space in your bedroom can be especially helpful because it creates a restful atmosphere that invites relaxation and sleep. One simple way to incorporate more tidiness is to clear off any clutter from your bedside table. Creating a peaceful bedroom will support the rest you need to tackle any changes or opportunities that may present themselves this season.

Have a Feel Good day!
