Well it was the first day of Spring not too long ago. Time to do a seasonal cleanse!

I like to start a new season with a cleanse, it is a good way to signal both a change in our environment and a change with our bodies. With such as fast paced world we live in I feel that we have become disconnected from our environment, when in fact our bodies are very much connected to it. Eating seasonally is very important and is deserving of its’ own post, so stay tuned! So why cleanse? Here are just a few reasons

I came across this article on line and was quite horrified, my English Gramma is rolling in her grave, “What is the world coming to?”

I made a commitment last year to switch to loose tea from the convenience of the tea bag, because the waste seemed unnecessary. I had no idea there is plastic in tea bags.

The BBC has a video testing a few of the most popular teas in England for plastics. The scientists soak the various tea bags in a solution of cooper ammonia for 5 days to allow for everything to dissolve except plastic!

In a recent post on cleansing I suggested that doing a seasonal cleanse can be different things to different people. For some, it may be drinking more water or turning their screens off at night sooner, it can be anything. Cleansing should include not only what we eat, drink or consume but also the products that we use on a daily basis. I am talking about the moisturizers, the hand soap, shampoos, conditioners, etc. What are they made of? Do you know? Here are just 3 of SO many harmful chemicals that are known to cause cancer, disrupt hormone balance, create issues with our immune system and are general irritants among SO many other things. I so strongly urge you to have look at your favourite products to see what they are made of.
