GENTLE DETOX & ALLERGY SUPPORT
EPISODE 1 | LET’S PICKLE IT!
CHRONIC CONDITIONS & LIVER METABOLIZATION
When I work with clients, I always seek to cleanse the liver, “the master metabolizer” of everything we eat and drink, when the liver underperforms vital nutrients are not optimally processed, bile is stagnant creating mucous, inflammation and many other issues. Sometimes it is not advisable to utilize herbs to cleanse the body and we must rely on food as the medicine.
I have a 90-year-old client that is presently suffering with itchy skin. Generally itchy skin may result from a sluggish liver or food allergies, because of the clients age and taking prescription medication blood thinners, I am clearing the liver using foods.
New to liver detox try this pickled garlic recipe to get you started as well as drinking daily dandelion or burdock root tea is essential. Always remember to make a medicinal tonic dose, 4 tea bags in 32 ozs. hot boiling water, letting it sit in a mason jar for 30-45 minutes, sip on the jar all day. Drink 1 32oz. jar everyday for 14 days. Allergy and sinus sufferers should clear the liver and prepare the gut microbiome to be strengthened to handle the allergy season utilizing these strategies as well.

ALLERGY & SINUS SUFFERS WHAT IS A MUCOLYTIC?
Garlic as a tonic during the spring allergy season assists in flushing sinuses, acts as a decongestant, expectorant & mucolytic (breaks apart mucous). Adding astringent herbs, thyme, sage to your pickled garlic tonic assists in naturally breaking up mucous.
