Did You Know? Winter is the season that kidney energizes – take care of them!
According to Chinese Medicine, Winter is the season that the kidneys and bladder energize – they are water elements. There is much activity going on deep within the core of your body that one doesn’t realize, just like the trees that stand bare at this time of the year, they are rooting deeper to replish and fortify their resources for the warmer seasons.
So, how do we support the kidneys? Well, we help them with alkalizing the body and maintaining a proper pH, that’s one role of the kidneys. The kidneys depend upon obscene hydration and an abundance of minerals and whole food vitamins. They function very well with a liquid-based diet and foods that are easy to digest, since the organs responsible for creating and activating enzymes are somewhat “dormant” this time of year. It’s easier on the entire system if we respect this balance.
In your daily routine, the kidneys benefit from taking Detoxzyme in the morning and before going to sleep, to eat up the excess waste that makes the body lean acid. Drinking your ICP in the morning helps absorb those toxins in the digestive tract and scrub them out. Even if you aren’t doing the Master Cleanse, drinking the Master Cleanse lemonade in between meals will help nourish you and stop eating in between meals which is a huge disruption to the digestive and enzyme process. Take your Essentialzyme or other digestive enzymes with your meals, and consider juicing. Green Lemonade and Raw Gazpacho Soup are my number one’s and I enjoy daily. Bump up your mineral essence, Super B vitamins, and Multi-Greens to help energize the entire body. The kidneys LOVE the essential oils of Juniper (especially), Idaho Balsam Fir, Geranium, Lemon, and Rosemary. Take care of your kidneys and you’ll feel great!
