Apples, oranges, cherries, papaya, and strawberries are some fruits with a good amount of antioxidants. But in this article, we will take a closer look at strawberries. Apart from the antioxidants they contain, strawberries also have Vitamin C that boosts the immune system, improves tissue repair which helps prevent scarring, and helps clear blemishes, wrinkles and yes, acne. Strawberries serve as a conditioner, toner, pigmentation lightener, and pore reducer.

The fruit also contains a lot of vitamins and minerals which help with maintaining good skin integrity. But did you know that its leaves are also known to be a solution for your acne? When there is acne, there is inflammation where redness and swelling are always present. With the use of strawberry leaves, the inflammation can be lessened.

How do we do it? Here’s how:

Ingredients:
1 cup of strawberry leaves
1 tsp of water

Procedure:
1) Grind the leaves in the mortar and pestle with 1 tsp of water.
2) Once it attains a pasty mixture, you can apply it to the affected area.
3) Leave it for 20-30 minutes.
4) Rinse with cool, clean water.

Make sure that you have washed your face prior to thick paste application. Doing this will better the chances of success and it is by far better to start off with a clean face when applying treatment. Now, what do the leaves really do to your skin? The presence of acne makes the affected areas acidic which in turn causes the inflammation. The strawberry leaves promote alkalinity which decreases the acidity of the acne. Thus, reducing redness and swelling. The nutrients in them aid the immune system in fighting the infection increasing your chances of reducing the recurrence of acne. Not only are you addressing the cause of the problem but you are also acting on the symptoms it produces. We hope this remedy works for you. Enjoy pampering your skin all while eating foods that help in cleansing your body.

You can say this about body cleansing . .

“The process is not always pretty, but the results are always beautiful”

Colonic

A colonic, simply put is the flushing of water into your colon to remove waste and feces that normal bowel movements do not pass. That is it! Yes you can buy $100 kits that will give you the best colonic ever, but honestly all you technically need is a beer bong and an open mind. . Sorry there is my sense of humor shining through again. For the record, I do recommend you get a kit for this, just don’t spend over a $100. The part most people won’t tell you is that performing a colonic can cause ‘discomfort’.

Parasites

While the term ‘paratsites’ can refer to any number of things including leeches. Typically in the world of body cleanse and when people refer to parasite cleanse they are talking about intestinal parasites, also known simply known as worms. The best way to prevent the contraction of parasite is to avoid undercooked meat, avoid unclean water and avoid skin to skin contact with any on who may have parasites.

Toxins

Toxins in the world of health and cleansing can refer to any number of things that we take into our bodies.  From free radicals from processed food to cigarette smoke to car exhaust. Toxins is really just referring to any unnatural substance, unfortunately the life style we typically all live exposes to a large amount of toxins on a daily basis. The are unavoidable. The can reduce your exposure to them by eating organic and natural foods, not exposing yourself to second hand smoke and limiting your intake of alcohol. Ultimately you will be exposed to and ingest toxins in most of your daily interactions, so while this is a huge buzz word right now, just know that almost any legitimate cleanse you  decide to use will rid your body of toxins, you don’t need a special ‘Toxin Cleanse’ to do so. Cleansing yourself of toxins is important, as the damage caused to cells may require the use of anti aging products.

Okay so that is it for this edition of Body Cleanse Jargon and Nonsense, again you can email suggestions or leave them in comments (i love comments!) about any other topics or buzzwords you want me to ‘expose’
