Kicharee Recipe:
- 1/3 cup organic mung dal
- 2/3 organic basmati rice (or other grain) simmered in 3-4 cups of water (a ratio of 1:3 or 1:4)
Whilst living on this simplified diet it can be useful to sip hot drinks; try spicy teas of ginger, cinnamon and cardamom to burn area and clear toxins.
Days 1-7: Vigorously massage yourself from head to foot every day with 100-150ml warm organic sesame oil. Leave the oil on your body for 10 minutes. Then wash off in a hot bath or shower. This will dilate the surface of your skin and will clear toxins through the skin.
Take a dose of Pukka Herbs organic Triphala every night. This is a mix of three herbs that are famed for their ability to mildly detoxify the blood and bowel. Take 3 capsules, 1 teaspoon or 75 drops of the tincture with a glass of warm water at night.
Days 3-6: Take a dose of warm medicated ghee. Start with 20ml instead of breakfast, increase by 5ml a day. After this detox, start to take some herbal supplements and increase nutritive foods.
