Last week I embarked on a juice cleanse. September is a transitional time for the seasons, offering up a prime time to adopt different ways of healing our body. It is also a prime time for cleansing the digestive system, similar to the benefits of cleansing our livers in the spring. Many health-enthusiasts believe that juice-fasting is a superb way to revive and purge the digestive system, while scientific evidence proves otherwise. After the jump is my story with the three-day juice cleanse, the conflicting information regarding risks and benefits and a Chinese medicine perspective on how to maximize health benefits and preserve your digestive system through appropriate modification.
Contagion, a recent film centered around the spreading of global viral infection and effort to find a cure, got my attention not through the use of popular celebrities or semi-provocative plot but through the mention of Forsythia – a possible cure for the epidemic taking the lives of millions in the film. Forsythia, a well known Chinese Herb, competes with big pharma vaccine MEV-1. Whether this herb actually works is left for the viewer to determine, and this post is not about ruining the film plot for those yet to see it, but more of an opportunity to understand this important player in Chinese Medicine Pharmacology. Follow Forsythia after the jump… Read More

It is that time of year for cleaning out all the cobwebs, reorganizing the closet, vacuuming under the couch – all the spring cleaning duties that make our homes and lives feel fresh and light. The same holds true for the body. Springtime is analogous with the liver element, who is the emperor of detoxification, and is especially responsive to purging toxins this time of year. You can help your liver accomplish this important task with some simple herbal remedies. Meet the plants responsible after the jump!

Prenatal Nutrition: What Is Right?
Healthy diets vary as greatly as the individuals who employ them. From Vegans to Carnivores, the food we eat is a reflection of who we are, what we believe, and the health of our system. Celebrity news of late has all eyes on Nathalie Portman, who has recently “come out” saying that she decided to include eggs and dairy into her prenatal diet after being an avid vegan since 2009. While there is heated debate about the moral impact of her decision happening on various message boards, the actress claims that it was simply “listening to her body” that made her decide to include dairy and eggs. What is the healthiest option? More after the jump.
Kombucha – a lovely, slightly effervecent, detoxifying, energizing and digestive enzyme-boosting cocktail. It now adorns grocery store shelves and sells for $5.00 per bottle. At first sip, this beverage can be sour and intense in flavor. Make it at home and this bite mellows to a refreshing after-dinner-digestiv. Kombucha is good for you, and is also very easy and inexpensive to make at home. Check out my Home-made Kombucha journey after the jump.
