Why These Ingredients?
Flaxseed: This ingredient is rich in fiber and omega-3 fatty acids. It helps promote regular bowel movements and enhances the absorption of nutrients in your intestines.
Pumpkin Seeds: These seeds are a great source of magnesium, which is crucial for the proper function of the muscles in your digestive tract. By including pumpkin seeds in the cleanse, you can facilitate the movement of food through your system.
Cloves: Known for their antibacterial properties, cloves help maintain balanced microbial levels in your digestive system, supporting a healthy gut flora.
Olive Oil: Acting as a lubricant for your digestive system, olive oil makes it easier for waste to pass through. Additionally, it provides beneficial fatty acids and antioxidants.
How to Prepare the Cleanse
Ingredients:
- 50g flaxseed
- 50g pumpkin seeds
- 10g cloves
- 150ml olive oil
Instructions:
- Grind the Seeds and Cloves:
- Use a coffee grinder or food processor to freshly grind the flaxseed, pumpkin seeds, and cloves into a fine powder. This step helps preserve the natural oils and benefits of the ingredients.
- Mix with Olive Oil:
- Transfer the powdered mixture to a jar with a tight-fitting lid. Pour the olive oil over the powder and stir well to combine. The olive oil not only preserves the mixture but also aids in the absorption of nutrients.
- Properly Store:
- To maintain freshness, keep the mixture in the refrigerator. The cold environment helps prevent the oils in the seeds from going rancid.
How to Use the Cleanse
