Junk in the Trunk

Extra Master Cleanse Items

Date: 6/1/2006 5:15:10 PM ( 19 y ) ... viewed 22229 times

Like many trips, women have cultivated the art of bringing along more than we really need. I have impressed my friends and family by packing "light" but impress them even more by packing up close to everything one could possibly want or desire for a journey, AND making it look easy...ggg

The Master Cleanse trip is no different and after a previous long cleanse, and many shorter ones, I feel I have come up with a list of things which would make any Master Cleanser feel more "prepared".

Blackstrap Molasses

This is used by diabetics as an alternative to Maple Syrup but also comes in handy for extra energy and can be used if your body becomes too acidic. The recipe for an alkalizing drink can be found here: http://curezone.com/forums/m.asp?f=425&i=1032#i

Yogi Ginger tea

Yogi Peach detox tea

Celestial Seasonings Sleepy Time Tea
(this is my favorite mint blend, great for evening relaxing)

Ginseng Tea
(especially good for calming menstrual cycle woes)

Essiac 4-Herb tea
I really missed this on my last cleanse and since it is an herbal tonic which amps up the immune system, I am including an ounce a day.

Drinking straws

Drinking straws are beneficial to use while sipping your lemonade and helps prevent the acid from the lemons from damaging your teeth. It helps you sip slower too rather than *gulping* your drinks.

Boudreaux's Butt Paste

There are other ointments for treating tender bums...including Mineral Oil, Witch Hazel, Aloe Vera, but my favorite is Butt Paste!

Enema Bag

While not recommended for use with the Master Cleanse, many have found an enema to be useful in stopping a detox headache and also to clean the lower bowel.

Body Brush

Tampico is my favorite brand, and I have successfully kept this habit
since my last cleanse when I discovered the Joy of Bodybrushing.

Skin-brushing ebook

Pascalite Clay

This is great for footbaths and facials. If you are detoxing on your face, a mask of this, for 5-10 minutes, will help exacerbate the detox and healing period. Also very beneficial if you ever get bitten by a Brown Recluse Spider!

Sitz bath

Sitz baths can be very healing for a sore bum or for detoxing.
Warm for healing, cold for detoxing.

Deodorant

Anti-perspirant deodorant is counter-productive in the Master Cleanse, so do not use them. You can use a deodorant which preferrably does not have aluminum in them.

I like these two the best for me.

Thai Crystal Deodorant Stone

Kiss My Face Liquid Rock Deodorant

Toothbrush

I like the Radius Toothbrush since it has a nice wide head perfect for my Oil of Oregano and paste or powder!

Toothpaste & Toothpowder

I like those with essential oil or the powder which has sea salt
and baking soda in it along with peppermint oil. Here are two of my favorite brands.

Burts Bee Lavender Mint Toothpaste

Ipsab Toothpowder

Tongue Scraper

Oregano Oil

Oregano Oil is great to use for detoxing in a bath, a few drops in a bath. Caution must be used to not get it in your eyes however. I also use Oil of Oregano on my toothbrush for additional way to kill bacteria and to strengthen my gums.

Sunflower Oil

I have decided to give "oil-pulling" a chance. People use it orally to detox, and Curezone has a forum where you can find info and share experiences.

Hot Water Bottle

Sometimes, you just feel cold or crampy and a hot water bottle
can be a girl's best friend!

http://www.fashionhot.com/

Probiotic

These are very beneficial during your post-fast breaking period.
Some eat yogurt, I prefer using Primal Defense Probiotic blend.

Books!

I dug out a pile to read but those which inspire and encourage
are kept close at hand!

Louise Hay "Everyday Positive Thinking"

http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/customer-reviews/1401902952/103-3043983-9899807

Citrus Juicer

There are many options for juicing lemons from using hand reamers to using Champions Juicers. I like this simple Black and Decker one which is easy
to use and clean.

Strainer

Strainers are very useful in separating the lemon juice and the pulp. You can use the pulp in the cleanse for additional cleansing, but many have found it tends to jump start digestion and cravings for food.

Wheatgrass

I have been growing and juicing wheatgrass this spring and summer and want to continue this. I use a Samson Wheatgrass Juicer which I love!

Rebound Chair

Trampoline

Trampolines are great for moving lymph in the system and can also
be used for catching some sun which is very beneficial for the body.

Chi Machine

Chi or Swing Machines are also used for moving lymph and I have found
it is fabulous for helping facilitate the Salt Water Flush "kicking in".

Zapper- I use the Terminator II to help with parasite control & general well being!

http://www.ghchealth.com/parasite-zapper.php

Purple Plate

This is an energizing device and I like keeping my extra bottle
of water on top of it!

http://basicessence.com/main/bepurpleplate.htm

Inversion Table

Inverting is great for many reasons. Moving lymph again is one
of my favorite goals, and I find it decompressing and relaxing.

Body Blades

I like Body Blades because they encourage "Core" stability.
Low impact...and easy to use!

http://www.bodyblade.com/

Well, this is the most of it...there may be new discoveries along the way.

If you have any great suggestions from your own cleansing experience,
please feel to share. I am in an experimenting mood!

be happy, be well,
Zoe
