In my most recent issue of "Natural Health Magazine" I found a wonderful three day autumn detox plan. The plan is an all around detox for your body; internally, externally, mentally, physically, spiritually and emotionally. It doesn't seem to be like the many other plans I am familiar with. You don't have to give up solid foods for a few days, but you are on a very simple diet of selected whole organic foods, which are seasonal to the fall. Practicing a diet of eating whole organic foods to fit the season you are presently in is very important to one's health.
Writing your feelings in a daily Journal is also recommended during your detox plan, as it will feel good to clean out your emotional closet, while you detoxify everything else. Foot soaks, using a sea salt and eucalyptus footbath are one of the cleansing rituals, as is yoga and body brushing. herbal detox teas are drunken during the three day plan. Here is one drink which is totally cleansing to your body, and at the same time delicious to sip on. You use 2 teaspoons each of clove, nutmeg, star anise, fennel and two sticks of cinnamon. Simmer in three cups of water over low heat for 15 minutes. Add a half of a cup of apple juice and sprinkle nutmeg on the top of the tea. This is not only a spicy autumn treat, it also stimulates digestion and works as a blood purifier.
As the Autumn Equinox is right around the corner, I am looking forward to practicing this detox plan periodically through out the fall.

Hi Lydia,
keeping a journal to "detox" emotionally is a good idea all year round. I write a daily journal of my thougths, feelings and plans. I can recommend this to everybody.

I use to Journal all the time when I was in my early twenties. Then I stopped for a very long time. I just started keeping one again.
Yes, Lydia, writing a journal is helpful,better than talking to someone, especially when we are not sure whether the person we talk to is an enemy or a friend.
The journal is a good friend for sure, it will keep all our secrets and will not betray us.
