5 ways to detox your body and get rid of inflammation

The first thing is ofc avoiding inflammatory foods, so replacing sugars with honey or dates, seed oils with tallow/olive oil/coconut oil/sesame seed oil etc, then replacing modified starch with arrow root powder, and wheat with almond flour or with spelt/rye/khorasan/buckwheat or at least freshly milled whole wheat flour.


Now here are a few treatments for innflammation that I find work really well. Of course we don't do them all at once, but you choose one that suits your needs and of course all of us should always do our own research 🌿


1.The first anti-inflammatory treatment is with turmeric. In a jar I mix turmeric powder with a little bit of cayenne and black pepper. In the picture I also added cinnamon for blood sugar regulation, but I no longer add it it now bcs I drink cinnamon in my tea.


In the morning on an empty stomach, I take 1/2 tsp of this mixture and mix it with 1 tbsp of olive oil. Swallow that with warm water and then I only drink tea until breakfast.

The curcumin in the turmeric becomes more bioavailable with the piperin in the black pepper. Cayenne makes the blood thinner and improves blood circulation and cell repair. (That's why you must never take cayenne together with blood thinners)

This powder is a real game changer for me and I am already on my fourth bottle of it. But like with all herbal remedies, you take it in cycles, so you take it for example for 2 weeks and then you stop for 2 weeks and take it again. It's definitely not something you take all the time, but rather as a treatment.


2.The next detox is an olive oil shot. That's probably the most famous one, but it really works. Fresh lemon juice mixed with real olive oil, taken on an empty stomach. You do want to take it slow, so start with only 1/2 tsp olive oil with 2 tbsp lemon juice and see how it feels like. Then, you can gradually increase your dosis over the course of 2 weeks and take a dosis that feels right for you.


3.The next one is my favourite: Detox baths! I use this mixture:

• 4 parts epsom salt

• 2 parts baking soda

• 1 part himalayan salt


You can also add borax or clays. To the salt mixture, I add essential oils that relax the muscles and open the airways:

• 8 drops lavender

• 5 drops eucaleuptus

• 4 drops rosemary

• 3 drops winter green

--> pls use less essential oil initially and observe how your body reacts to it.

You need to stay in the water for at least 25min, keep the heart above the waterline and don't make it too hot. I usually stay in the water for 1h.

The results are insane. I have been obsessed with detox baths for over a decade and you can actually see and feel an immediate effect.


Additionally, since I have been doing these baths for years, I also do this: 20min beforehand I drink a cup of water with 1/2 tsp activated charcoal and then I do either dry brushing or a lymphatic massage before the bath. This gives me insane results.


If you don't have a bathtub, don't worry, bcs foot soaks are actually extremely effective and most people severely underestimate them. In TCM ginger, hot pepper and black pepper are used to warm the organs and detox the body. You can also use the same salt mixture mentioned above. Or you can do a vinegar soak, something that I personally never tried (and never will! 😂).


4.Next up is the good old castor oil pack, bcs this oil penetrates deeply into the tissue and can disolve inflammation such as cysts, tumours and knots. I have heard some people make a cayenne pepper, or chili, or ginger powder cold infusion in castor oil and then use it for treating athritis and other inflammation in the joints and muscle tissue, but I have never used that before. I personally do normal castor oil packs on my belly for fertility, digestion, liver support and a flatter belly. It also treats any skin blemishes and makes your skin look brighter. Oiling the belly button with castor oil is also highly beneficial.


5.Oregano detox protocol

Pure Oregano essential oil (make sure it is 100% pure and organic, safe for consumption)

Before you eat, on an empty stomach 2-4 drops diluted in 10ml raw pumpkin seed oil (again, you want to slowly work yourself up to that dosis). This is a natural antibiotic that can help eliminate bacteria and parasites. Therefore, it is crucial that you pair it with a binder either bentonite, psyllium husk, chlorella, or really strong binders like activated charcoal and zeolith. But for the latter two you have to observe your diet closely bcs you don't want to get nutrient deficient, since they are strong binders. I take the binder 20min after a meal. This protocol can be done for 2-8 weeks (there are different opinions). It has helped me for bacterial infections, teeth removal and stomach pain/nausea before. You'll feel great afterwards inshaaAllah.


Just make sure to drink alot, move and sweat alot. Redlight therapy or sauna is especially helpful during a detox. Vitamin C as a gelation agent and lymphatic support through massage, tapping, jumping, exercise or TCM Gua sha, and consume lots of warm amd easy to digests foods like stews and soups/broths.
