Easy Detox Recipe for Tip-toeing through the Tulips

The Coming of the Green and your Radiant Self - Vernal Equinox is March 20!

As we start to think Spring and experience Daylight Savings time- ah, the growing light not only shining on those cobwebs and the dusties everywhere but also on our pale and pudgy winter bodies.  Our list for spring cleaning should also include a list that includes a gentle personal cleanse creating more energy to tackle any task.  De-toxing or cleansing your system can take many forms, from easy to radical.  Do your homework on the best one for you and make sure you give yourself the time to do it.

Here are two easy 24-hour cleanses for Health, the first is particulary good after a week of over-indulgence and the second is great for energy. (Both taken from Michael Van Straten's Little Book of Detox Tips).
