Heard of the
saying that Mother Nature provides all the answers to our health issues?
That may hold some truth to it especially when you think about juice detox.
Many have tried juice detox to help combat their diseases by removing
toxins. Juices are also a good source of vitamins and antioxidants. A juice
detox for eczema can be a wonderful solution if you wish to reduce your
dependence on corticorsteroids and are hoping to heal your skin from the
inside.
You can choose to blend a single fruit or more than one fruit. The great
thing about juicing is that there is no need to add sugar especially if the
fruits that you pick are already naturally sweet. In fact, some people have
linked processed sugar to eczema breakouts, especially in children.
Juice detox for eczema can be done at home where you feel most comfortable.
It can be carried out as a fast. However, a juice fast should not last for
more than a week as the nutrients will not be adequate to sustain you for a
longer period of time. If you want to extend your juice fast to more than a
week, you should always check with your doctor first. Also, do not detoxify
if you have serious illnesses or if you are pregnant. When in doubt, simply
ask your doctor for advice.
Otherwise, if you are not up to a juice fast, you can simply consume a juice
drink on a regular basis to aid your body in its cleansing. In this case,
your juice drink should preferably be drunk in the morning, as this is the
best time to allow your digestive system to clear itself of its toxic waste.
This is a recipe that I like to share on juice detox for eczema:
2 small green apples
1 starfruit
¼ dragon fruit
1-2 celery sticks
For this juice detox recipe, avoid peeling off the skin of the green apples
because most of the nutrients of apples are located on its skin. Apples are
great sources of antioxidants and vitamins K and C. Recent studies also show
that certain types of apples may contain UV-B protection that can protect
your skin from the sun.
Similar to green apples, starfruits are also rich in fiber and Vitamin C.
Celery also contains good amounts of vitamin C that can also help in cancer
prevention while dragon fruits are low in calories and high in antioxidants.
I was given the above recipe by a practitioner friend who has found it
beneficial for her clients who were suffering from severe eczema. For some
variation, you can also add great leafy vegetables like spinach and kale for
the phytochemicals that they offer.
There are also several books that you can turn to for great juice detox
recipes. Stock up your refrigerator with plenty of fresh fruits and
vegetables so that you can have different juice combinations to try.
