Spring Cleaning for Every Body
According to Traditional Chinese Medicine, it's best to support your body as you detox.
Junk drawers, check. Closets, check. Under the bed, check. You've probably cleaned every nook and cranny of your home in preparation for spring. However, don't forget about the most important “home” you've got – your body. In Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM) it's recommended you prepare yourself for each seasonal change.
Juice fasts, nutritional supplements, weight loss and detox programs offered by food/beverage companies, gyms and wellness offices are designed to be both strong and fast. You may find this purgative approach isn't for you. In addition, these methods may not align with your lifestyle. For example, a common cleansing method is to drink shakes which often contain dairy. However, this won't work if you have dairy sensitives or have made the choice to eliminate dairy from your diet.
According to TCM, liver is the organ that is associated with Springtime. The liver is our largest internal organ. Serving not only as a filter to process and detoxify everything we put into our bodies, but also playing a role in managing blood glucose levels.

The first thing to know about detoxing is replacing whatever you eliminate. Often cleanses can leave you feeling tired and sluggish. This is because your body isn't given proper support it needs to process and dispose the toxins and metabolic waste it casts off. The solution can be found by using herbal remedies, teas and gentle products such as Mediherb LivCo.
The Milk Thistle, Schisandra and Rosemary in LivCo MediHerb are formulated to support your liver and provide antioxidant protection to enhance your body’s natural elimination process. It works synergistically to support cellular health, stimulate the biosynthesis of protein and liver glycogen and protect liver tissue by supporting normal cellular defense.

As you know, spring cleaning doesn't just take place within your home, it takes place outside as well. Exfoliation helps shed old skin and regrow new skin cells and is a part of spring cleaning for every body. Skin, check.
