Is it safe to cleanse during pregnancy or while breastfeeding?

You might have heard that if you are pregnant or breastfeeding -you can’t cleanse.

Now while it might be true that fasting or ‘heroic’ herbs could do more harm than good to you and your baby -the truth is, there are simple and safe ways that you can improve your health through gentle cleansing and liver rejuvenation- even if you are pregnant or breastfeeding.

If you are breastfeeding or pregnant and experience any of the following, your liver might  be in need of some tender living care:

  • fatigue
  • thyroid problems
  • blood sugar imbalance
  • morning sickness
  • reduced immunity
  • sore back
  • sore neck & shoulders
  • painful joints, water retention
  • varicose veins
  • round ligament pain
  • anemia
  • reduced milk supply
  • numbness, haemorrhoids
  • indigestion, depression
  • irritability
  • visual disturbances
  • edema
  • high blood pressure etc.

The secret to safely cleansing during pregnancy is to reduce our external and internally generated toxic load -while as the same time eating foods that specifically nourish the liver and that support our bodies’ natural cleansing capacities.

Wondering what I mean about internal vs. external toxic load?

External toxic load means toxins in our environment. We can simply reduce our toxic load by eliminating the toxic elements in our environment that we do have control over, for example like choosing non alum baking powder over brands that contain aluminum.

Internally generated toxins are the ones that occur inside our body due to incomplete digestion.

Simply eliminating as many toxic stressors as we can and eating foods that boost the vitality of our liver (like foods that grow locally during the spring season), we can gently cleanse and rejuvenate safely as opposed to undertaking a detox.
