INTRODUCTION Welcome to Chandanni’s 14-Day Ayurvedic Liver Cleanse and welcome to the family! Let’s get right into it.

The liver holds negativity, anger, and toxins. What affects our liver affects our entire body. In the next fourteen days we are pursuing total renewal and rejuvenation of our liver and, by extention, our whole system. Gently and effectively restoring the liver is a priceless act that revitalizes our whole health and general wellness. This unique liver cleanse will allow you to restore, reset and transform your whole life with simple dietary guidelines and a shake you will prepare each morning with our special ayurvedic herb blend.

AYURVEDIC LIVER CLEANSE

GUIDELINES 1. The shake you will prepare each morning will become a ritual for you over the next fourteen days. You will put yourself first. As soon as you wake up, make your way to the kitchen to prepare and drink your liver cleanse shake before eating or consuming any liquids or foods. Note the time after you consume the shake and refrain from eating or drinking anything for two hours. It is very important to not drink or eat anything during these post-shake two hours. We recommend waking up early to get it done.

2. To break this fast we suggest making oatmeal or eating fresh fruit. You can soak dried fruits beforehand and add them to the oatmeal. Oatmeal is a gentle and nourishing food to begin your day with. However, as long as you stick to the cleanse’s dietary guidelines (see Food Guide on pages 10-11), you may eat whatever you like. Organic nut milks are allowed, as are maple syrup and coconut sugar.

PLEASE DO NOT USE HONEY. NUT MILKS, MAPLE SYRUP AND COCONUT SUGARS ARE ALLOWED. 5

3. After breakfast, continue your day while following the dietary guidelines. Drink plenty of water and herbal teas.

It is very important to keep your blood sugar levels stable especially in the first few days of your cleanse as you will be undergoing detox symptoms.

4. Detox symptoms usually last for three to four days or so from the onset of your cleanse. These symptoms can range anywhere from headaches, muscle and lower back pain, moodiness, discoloration of urine, bloating, night sweats and feeling very tired. All these are normal detox symptoms.

OPTIONAL: IT IS RECOMMENDED TO GET A LYMPHATIC / DRAINAGE MASSAGE DURING THIS CLEANSE TO HELP SOOTHE POSSIBLE MUSCLE PAIN AND SUPPORT THE ELIMINATION PROCESS.

5. Green Juices are allowed on our 14-Day Cleanse as long as they follow the dietary guidelines. This is an optional addition. Make sure to get plenty of fluids during this two week period. Green drinks aid in elimination of toxins while alkalinizing the bloodstream. We highly recommend drinking green juice along your journey. You can get green juice at your local health food store or prepare at home.

6. Refrain from ingesting any drugs, alcohol, vitamins, and supplements during these next two weeks.

FOURTEEN DAY BREAKDOWN

12

DAY 1 - 5 Today you will embark on the first few days of a two-week cycle of totally cleansing, rejuvenating and healing your liver and placing your whole body into a total reset. You will quickly fall into the rhythm of taking your Ayurvedic Liver cleanse shake in the morning and modifying your diet to suit food guidelines on this course. Typically the first day passes without too many challenges.

You may undergo detox symptoms from the onset, however, they usually appear at the end of the first day and thereafter.

Detox symptoms range anywhere from muscle pain, headaches, joint pain, moodiness, extreme fatigue, bloating, night sweats and discoloration of urine. They tend to occur on and around day one and can last up until day four or five.

For the first few days, it is important to keep your blood sugar levels balanced by eating small meals and healthy snacks throughout the day.

PLEASE MAKE SURE TO DRINK AT LEAST ONE LITER OF WATER A DAY ON THIS CLEANSE TO HELP FACILITATE THE ELIMINATION PROCESS. Taking a hot bath with Epsom salts and Chandanni’s Naked Massage and Bath Oil helps with elimination and relaxation. You can get this oil from our site or local retailer.

OPTIONAL: IT IS RECOMMENDED TO GET A LYMPHATIC / DRAINAGE MASSAGE DURING THIS CLEANSE TO HELP SOOTHE POSSIBLE MUSCLE PAIN AND SUPPORT THE ELIMINATION PROCESS. 13

DAY 6 - 8 From day six to day eight you should feel accustomed to the regimen of making your shake in the morning, refraining from eating or drinking anything for two hours after, and the new alkaline-based vegan diet you have adopted for these next two weeks. The detox symptoms should subside by in or around day six if not sooner. Your energy levels will also increase and your appetite may have shrunk.

This is very normal to feel less hungry and to have more energy by the end of week one and the onset of week two.

Using Mindful Meditation techniques is an effective way of helping us on this journey. Mindful Meditation is when we can allow ourselves to watch without judging or reacting to what is happening within us and around us. If we can develop this ability to witness our feelings and sensations we will see that everything passes just like a wave or like our breath, moving us into more peace and resolve. It is important to maintain good hydration by drinking plenty of water (minimum of one liter per day) and herbal teas like peppermint and fennel tea (be sure that they are caffeine free). These teas help the metabolism and also counteract flatulence and bloating.

DAY 6-8 EMERGE THE ONSET AND TURNING POINT OF NEWNESS AND CHANGE. ONE ALSO BEGINS TO NOTICE THAT INFLAMMATION VISIBLY LEAVES THE BODY AND THAT THE HAIR AND THE SKIN START TO LOOK MORE RADIANT AND LUMINOUS.

DAY 9 - 11 From day nine onwards is generally a feeling of being light and bright.

The world begins to look and feel a little different as old habits and vices begin to subside. The appetite in and around day nine becomes less. We recommend eating only when you are hungry. If you skip a meal it is ok. In Ayurveda we suggest usually eating the largest meal of the day between the hours of noon and 4pm when the sun is at it’s strongest. This means that the digestive fires in our system are also working at their peak and so can break down the food more efficiently and effectively. Eating light meals in the morning like oatmeal or fruit is great and then something very light in the evening. A bowl of soup or having some fruit or vegetables is enough.

14

DAY 12 - 14 From day twelve to fourteen the body feels restored and renewed.

It is important to continue this regimen as directed until day fourteen.

If you have extra herbs left you are more than welcome to continue using them until they are gone but know that you have effectively restored and cleansed your liver after the fourteen day period has passed. Please make sure to drink plenty of water. Only eat when you are hungry and continue with your mindful meditation techniques.

It is really important to transition gradually back into your new and improved eating and lifestyle patterns after this cleanse. Please listen to what the body wants and add foods back gradually. We suggest keeping to similar dietary guidelines on day fifteen of this cleanse adding one or two items back and allowing the system to readjust smoothly. If you listen to your body, you will know what to eat.

We hope you have benefited from this priceless and transformative experience where you place your liver, mind and body first. Know that you have done yourself and your environment a world of good by becoming more healthy and whole during these past fourteen days. Please allow days twelve to fourteen be an acknowledgment and a celebration of your achievement in this amazing process.

We recommend cleansing your liver with this program every three to four months to keep the system vibrant and the liver healthy and in optimum condition. Thank you for your participation and here’s to your ongoing whole health!

Congratulations!
