Cleansing and detoxing can be a bit intimidating. We’ve provided this guide to help answer all of the most commonly asked questions around cleansing. We're going to cover:

Doing Enemas With Your cleanse, Eating Healthy, How Often and What Time of Day To Use Your Products, Detox Symptoms and Support, and Post-Cleanse Maintenance.

Let's Dive In!

Time Of Day To Take Each Product:

Activated Charcoal - Take 1 capsule in the morning (first thing when you wake up) and 2 capsules in the evening on an empty stomach. Do NOT take alongside other supplements, medications, or food. Must be taken 1 hour before or 2 hours after medication.

Mimosa Pudica Seed - Take 2 capsules at least one hour after the activated charcoal. You can take with breakfast or after breakfast. Take 1 capsule in the evening.

Terminate - Take recommended dose for your weight 1 time a day with a meal of your choice.

4. Detox Support

Die Off Symptoms - What To Expect

A die off symptom is a detox symptom that occurs as the body begins to break down toxins. Detoxing can come with uncomfortable (but normal) side effects. By eating a diet high in fruit and fiber, taking the included activated charcoal supplements, going to a sauna or sweating, and doing enemas, you can support your body through its detox and minimize symptoms.

Here is a list of some potential die-off symptoms:

Headaches

Digestive Upset

Mood Changes (Anxiety, depression, irritability)

Body Aches and Pains

Changes in Appetite

Cravings

Diarrhea

Fatigue

Oral thrush, Yeast Infection, or Rash: As candida dies off from the digestive tract, it can detox through our skin, mouth, and vagina. What is often thought of as a yeast “infection” can actually be a detox symptom. 

Emotional Healing

Our memories and emotions are stored in our cells. As we begin to detox the physical body, we may experience an emotional detox as well. On top of this, as toxins break down in our bodies they can affect our mood. While detoxing, go easy on yourself. Consult a therapist or healer as needed and devote time and space to your healing.

Exercise

It is recommended to avoid heavy exercise during your cleanse period, especially if you're on a mostly fruit based diet. As your body works to come into balance, much of your energy may be directed internally to heal your organs. Letting your body rest and take a break can be helpful, although light exercise such as walking outside or some forms of yoga can be extremely beneficial to your physical and mental health during this time. As always, listen to your body and honor your energy needs.

5. Continued Maintenance

After your 60 day cleanse, you will still have 30 days left of the Mimosa Pudica Seed Supplement (60 capsules left). You may choose to continue taking the supplements, or wait a couple of months and use the supplements as maintenance. We recommend doing a deep cleanse every 2-3 years.

Congratulations on taking this step in supporting your body to heal itself!
