Autumn Cleanse For A Clean Body And Clear Mind

Want to feel better physically and emotionally?

As we learn in Touch for Health Level 2, autumn represents the Metal Element of the Chinese Five Element Theory.

Lungs and Large Intestine

The Metal Element corresponds to the lungs and the large intestine, and is said to be most active in the fall.

This makes autumn a great time to prepare for winter, by doing some cleansing work!

Autumn Cleanse

An autumn cleanse will help clear and strengthen your lungs and colon, which will strengthen your immune system.

Physical Benefits

Although the cleanse has health benefits for everyone, it is especially helpful for those who struggle with respiratory and lower GI issues, including allergies, asthma, sinusitis, colitis, irritable bowel, leaky gut, skin conditions, and other related imbalances.

Emotional Benefits

Emotionally, the cleanse will help you balance the Metal Element, which will help you let go of “baggage” from the past, and negative emotions like grief, guilt, and regret.

In their place, you will likely grow in courage, and feel inspired with new ideas.

Shop For…

To cleanse the upper respiratory system and colon, use herbal root teas (i.e. ginger tea), root vegetables (i.e. carrots and beets), and warming spices (i.e. cinnamon, nutmeg, and clove).
