Medicine
This is more food as medicine, as opposed to tasty biscuits. Read no further if you’re looking for a cake recipe! This is definately not delicious in that way.
It’s probably a little late now, after the time of festive excess, this recipe would have been perfect. Still ‘The Flush’ is a magic little potion handed to us by Jackie a lovely local nutritionist and colonic therapist.
It will stimulate your liver into detox mode and get rid of some built up toxins etc. It also gets bags of raw garlic into your system (see Foodie fact). It is a real help for people suffering from Candida and other intestinal imbalances. If you feel like you need a full detox, you will need to get on a proper course of treatment with a qualified nutritionist and maybe have a colonic or two! Extreme flushing.
‘The Flush’ should be taken on an empty stomach, preferably first thing in the morning. You may eat fruit afterwards (tomatoes, cucumber, avocado) but no other solids for five hours. It’s busy working on the digestive system. Drinking several cups of detox, ginger, fennel or peppermint tea will help this.
We tried this for a while and found it made you feel well flushed and invigorated afterwards.
The Bits
1 glass of organic apple juice, 1 peeled lemon with pith still on, 1 tbs (work up to 4) cold pressed olive oil, 1 pinch cayenne, 1 pinch cinnamon, 1 (work up to 3) cloves of raw garlic, thumb size piece of ginger root
Do It
Pop it all in a blender until smooth. Each day work up to the max. amounts of olive oil and garlic, depending on your progress (and what your belly is telling you). It’s best to do this for a week and then take one week off. Then repeat this cycle if you’re cleansing your liver for the first time.
You can build up to doing this every morning for six weeks. If so, not only do you deserve a massive pat on the back, but your liver and digestive system will thank you in their own special way.
We Love It
It will give you a greater sense of well-being and give your hard-working liver a break.
The garlic will pack a punch and probably leave your breath quite fragrant, but who cares, its good for you.
Foodie Fact
Packed with phyto-chemicals that help against c*****r, heart disease and infections. Humans have always love garlic for its flavour and medicinal values.
When garlic is crushed, allcin is formed, which actively reduces cholesterol and keeps you coronary bits nice and clean. It also has anti-bacterial, anti-viral and anti-fungal properties.
I could go on here……but lastly it’s one of the richest sources of potassium, iron, calcium, magnesium, manganese, zinc, the list goes on.
Forget about garlic breath, get it down you!!!!!!!
Have you tried Elephant garlic? Beastly!
