When your digestion feels heavy or sluggish, a gentle cleanse can help restore balance and energy. Instead of harsh detoxes, our grandparents often turned to simple remedies made from fresh, natural ingredients. This 3-day bowel cleanse recipe uses nothing but everyday foods to help your body clear out waste and feel lighter.
🌿 Why This Recipe Works
- Cucumber – Hydrates the body and adds fiber for smooth digestion.
- Lemon – Naturally detoxifying and rich in vitamin C, it stimulates the digestive system.
- Ginger – Supports circulation and reduces bloating while soothing the stomach.
- Parsley – A gentle diuretic that helps flush out excess water and supports kidney function.
- Dried Rose Petals – Traditionally used for calming the stomach, reducing inflammation, and gently promoting bowel movement.
- Water – The essential base to hydrate and carry everything through the system.
Together, these ingredients create a refreshing drink that supports your body’s natural cleansing process.
