Fall is great time to do a cleanse. Cleansing helps to prepare our bodies for the cold winter ahead. We usually have more fatty foods during the winter so giving your body a clean slate beforehand can be really beneficial.
For this cleanse you avoid all fats including from animal sources. Beside limiting the fats it is a good idea to not have any processed foods, dairy, processed sugars, caffeine, or additives. Eating as clean as possible and a mostly vegan diet is preferred. If that is not possible and you need to eat meat just try to at least limit it and other fats as best you can. The more you can do, the more effective the cleanse will be. Eat lots of fruits and vegetables and have as many warming foods as possible. This is why it is a good cleanse for the fall and winter when we want to have the warming foods and drinks. Winter is associated with the water element in Chinese medicine and is connected to the kidney and bladder organs.
I often do a liver cleanse in the spring and summer where I have more raw, cold foods and that is more appropriate for the season. I usually do the kidney cleanses more in the fall and winter to have that warming energy enhanced.
The cleanse lasts for 3 weeks. You make the tea everyday. It is best to soak the herbs in water in a pot at nighttime. When you wake up you boil it and let it simmer for 5-10 minutes. You drink it slowly in small sips during the day in between meals. Drinking it slowly helps to slowly dissolve the crystals and stones. It is also good to have at least 6 cups of water to support the flushing of the kidneys as well.
This cleanse will help to dissolve the mineral crystals that can form into kidney stones. It will also help dissolve kidney stones (Uric acid, oxalic acid, phosphate, and amino acid) that have already formed out of your system. People can sometimes feel an ache in the low back in the kidney area when the stones are passing through the ureter ducts of the urinary system. Your urine could also change color to be darker and have a smell as they are releasing. These symptoms will pass and they are not too uncomfortable. Most people don't have any changes and the releasing of the stones or crystals is uneventful.
