Looking for a simple cleanser that is economical and has multiple uses?  You may already have one of nature’s most versatile and effective cleansers in your cupboard.  Apple Cider Vinegar (ACV) has been promoted as having anti-fungal, anti-bacterial, and anti-viral properties, primarily coming from the malic acid and acetic acid portion of the vinegar. 

Here’s a  detox recipe from earthclinic.com: 2 Tablespoons (1/8th cup) of organic ACV in a 1 or 2 Liter filtered water bottle. You can add more vinegar than this amount, just make sure you dilute it with plenty of water. Do not add a sweetener. Drink this solution throughout the day. The solution will be cleansing your system and kidneys all day long.

Also from earthclinic.com: in summer months add 1/4 C of ACV to a quart of water. Add ice. Drink this on a hot summer day, especially before working out. Your body will feel very cleansed.

Body detox, or cleansing, is often thought of as an invasive, uncomfortable process. It doesn’t have to be, however. There are many types of natural cleanses that work gently with the body to  assist the organs of elimination and restore natural balance.

Some herbal tea blends may help eliminate toxins and increase energy. Flor Essence is a gentle detoxifier that is based on the original Native American formula for Essiac tea. Brewing it yourself is the most economical way to try this popular cleanse. According to the manufacturer, Flor Essence is gentle enough to be used every day to support the body’s daily detoxification.
