The Green Beauty Guide: Your Essential Resource to Organic and Natural Skin Care, Hair Care, Makeup, and Fragrances

(Greg DeLong) #1

Be ready for a massive bowel movement in an hour or two. Don’t be afraid to see some
extraordinary things coming out of you!You may even pass small gallstones and tar-colored goo,
which signals that your liver was crippling under the weight of toxins.


As you finish in the bathroom, take a quick shower, massaging your body and hair with grape seed
oil, then washing it off with your regular shampoo. Go to bed.


The classic liver flush routine prescribes an enema next morning to complete the cleansing process,
but this is truly optional.


Day Two: Hair Detox


This day you’ll take really good care of your hair. Relax and enjoy the newfound sense of lightness
and purity in your right side!


Upon rising: Drink one 8-ounce glass of mineral/filtered water.
In the shower: Give yourself a head massage with almond or jojoba oil. Stand on a clean towel to
minimize the risk of slipping on oil drops! Pour some oil into your palms and rub them to warm the
oil. Rub the oil into your scalp in circular motions. When you have saturated your whole scalp and all
your hair with oil, apply stronger pressure to stimulate circulation and help the oil penetrate deeper
into the hair follicles. Spend not less than five minutes massaging your head. Shower and wash your
hair as usual.


Breakfast: Have one 8-ounce glass of Green Detox Drink, a cup of instant miso soup (available
from health food stores), twenty almonds, and an organic apple.


One hour after breakfast: Drink one 8-ounce glass of mineral/filtered water.
Two hours after breakfast: Drink one 8-ounce glass of Green Detox Drink.

strawberries, a half cup of blueberries, and one sliced banana topped with nondairy whipped cream
such as Natural by Nature Organic Whipped Cream.


This is a great day to spend time doing what you really like to do. Meditate, read, walk, tidy up
your garden, write in your journal, practice some yoga—please yourself anyway possible to direct
thoughts away from possible caffeine or sugar cravings.


Three hours after lunch: Drink one 8-ounce glass of mineral/filtered water.

and 1 pound of baking soda. Let the salt and soda dissolve completely. Apply a homemade hair
treatment from the assortment of green recipes in Chapter 12 and place a glass of cool water nearby.
Soak in the bath until the water cools down. Do not shower! Dry off, wrap yourself in cotton pajamas,
and get ready to sleep.
