The three day cleanse
Supreme cleanliness is the first step toward a healthy body. Any accumulation or retention of morbid matter or waste of any kind within us will retard our progress towards recovery. The natural eliminative channels are the lungs, the pores of the skin, the kidneys, and the bowels.
The retention of body waste has an insidious effect on our health greater than is generally suspected, and its elimination is one of the first steps toward perceptible progress. To begin the three day cleansing program, the individual is required to undergo three days of detoxification therapy.
If nothing were done to replace something in volume equal to the quantity of
matter eliminated in the body, then the body would naturally be dehydrated. Therefore, by drinking fruit juices, we replace the toxic or acrid material removed. This procedure should have an alkaline reaction on our system.
There are various types of juice therapies–apple, carrot, grape, citrus, tomato, etc.- but only use the one chosen juice for all three days, and swish each mouthful thoroughly, (called chewing), so the saliva will mix with it; therefore our bodies can get all the nutrition and healing value from it.
Do not eat anything during the three day cleanse, although if you are very hungry towards evening, you may take some celery. When using apple juice, an apple or two is acceptable. With carrot juice, use carrots, and so on and so forth. Read more »

Healing Waters
The bath tub is one of my most healing rooms of my house. My dear husband built and sculpted a beautiful Japanese soaking tub for two in my Arrowbear home. It is the perfect escape after a hard days work. It has candles, incense and music cued up whenever we’re ready to relax.
Prior to getting into my bath I dry brush massage my body starting from the furthest point and working my way toward my heart in a circular motion. This takes a good ten minutes or more as my tub fills.
Sometimes I use a salt or sugar scrub to get my circulation going. It helps to drink a cup of ginger or yarrow tea to induce sweating.
Also, a relaxing tea can be a great idea but I have also been known to take a glass of good Cabernet with me and soak away as well.
In my line of work I deal with others health and emotional problems and my ritual bathing is a way for me to cleanse my spirit and purge all negative energy from my body. To clear, I may add salt, herbs, and essential oils to heighten this experience.
Since the tub is for two, my husband may join me as well and rid ourselves from the remains of the day.
After bathing in Japan it is a normal ritual to soak in tubs even big enough for several people and socialize. But I have a two person soaking limit in my tub and preferably with someone I’m married to.
My ritual soak is not a place where I do my feminine hygiene or monthly body maintenance it is just for soaking and clearing. Maintenance is work. I soak here to clear myself, release and relax.
Women in the Victorian times used to bath and soak quite often by adding assorted bathing powders and bubbles to the tub. They were a lot calmer women in those days.
In earlier times, sanitariums would put their patients in mineral baths to calm them on a daily basis. We now go to a hot springs resort to receive this experience and pay through the nose as well.
Many homes are no longer equipped with a decent bathtub anymore. We personally ripped apart two bathrooms in each of our homes to achieve this experience, that’s how important it is to us. Read more »
