Detoxifying tea
Sip your tea every 15 minutes through the day.
Boil 2.5 L of water in the morning for 10 minutes with the following spices added
• 1/4 teaspoon whole cumin
• 1/2 teaspoon whole coriander
• 1/2 teaspoon of fennel seeds
Let it steep for ten minutes with the lid on. Then strain out the spices and pour the water into a thermos. Sip throughout the day every 30 minutes. Make a new batch of tea every morning.
Light tasty breakfast
For breakfast eat a baked or stewed apple or pear with 4-8 prunes that have been soaked overnight.
Put the whole apple or pear in the oven and bake at 350 degrees F for about 30 minutes or until soft. For best results, insert three whole cloves around the circumference of the apple or pear before cooking. Remove from the oven and allow it to cool before eating.
To stew, simmer one sliced apple or pear in two cups of water with three whole cloves and the two dried figs for 10-20 minutes, or until soft. Remove from the water and allow it to cool before eating.
If you are still hungry, complete your breakfast with one to two cups of hot, cooked whole-grain cereal, seasoned with cinnamon or cardamom. See your food list for suitable grains to use.
Cleansing Meal Plan for all doshas
Aim to have 3 main meals a day and to avoid daytime snacks during your cleanse.
Breakfast
Do not skip breakfast. Even if you are not hungry, at least have a stewed or baked apple or pear with raisins to start your day. This provides easily digestible nutrition and helps increase your appetite for lunch.
If you are hungry, also have a bowl of cooked whole-grain cereal. If you have a strong appetite and tend to get hungry well before lunchtime, make your cereal with milk or soymilk and add ground nuts for extra protein.
Lunch
Make lunch the main meal of the day. Your lunch should consist mainly of cooked foods, with a small salad on the side if you wish. Ensure a balanced meal with whole grains, freshly cooked vegetables and protein.
• Vegetarian sources: lentils, chickpeas, or other legumes, tofu or soy; fresh cheese (panir), cottage cheese or yogurt.
• Non vegetarian sources: meat, poultry, fish or seafood
Only take non-vegetarian sources of protein and curdled foods such as cheese, cottage cheese
Dinner
Enjoy a light, easy-to-digest evening meal. Good choices include cooked grains, cooked vegetables, and soups, including legume soups such as lentils. It is important to avoid non-vegetarian foods (such as poultry, meat, fish) and cheese at the evening meal.
Bedtime
If hungry at bedtime have a warm milk or soymilk boiled with a pinch of cinnamon, cardamom, or ginger.
