Spring cleaning is an annual ritual to clear out all of the dust, cobwebs, and clutter that have accumulated in your home over the winter. Our bodies also deserve a “spring cleaning” to flush out toxins that have accumulated over time. Adding a detoxifying cleanse to your annual routine can help increase your energy flow and help with your overall well-being.
Breathing, Sweating, and Eliminating
The simplest ways for your body to naturally eliminate toxins are through breathing, sweating, and eliminating through your gastrointestinal system. There are a wide variety of methods for cleansing your body, along with many different levels of intensity. However, the simplest and single most important step you can take to help your body flush out toxins is to drink more water. Adding more movement to your daily routine can also help increase your circulation and release endorphins, which act as positive mood boosters.
Several techniques to help your body eliminate toxins include:
- Alternating between hot and cold water in the shower to help promote blood circulation to the skin
- Sitting in a sauna or hot tub to promote toxin elimination through sweating
- Getting a massage incorporating Young Living’s Ortho Sport®, Ortho Ease®, Relaxation™, or Sensation™ massage oils to help break up lactic acid buildup in the muscles
Young Living’s Juva products also provide a natural way to assist the body’s natural cleansing functions:
- JuvaCleanse® and JuvaFlex® essential oil blends help support the body’s digestive system.
- JuvaPower® and JuvaSpice® can be sprinkled on foods to add extra fiber and nutrients to your digestive system.
- JuvaTone® tablets provide vital nutrients to support a healthy digestive system.
Cleanses
Here are some examples of different types of internal cleanses. Be sure to consult with your health professional before starting a cleansing regimen.

Can JuvaCleanse Vitality and JuvaFlex Vitality be combined in one capsule? Would they synergize or conflict? Could Longevity be mixed with either one or both. I am just trying to cut down on the number of capsules. Thanks
Hi Jurhee, JuvaCleanse Vitality and JuvaFlex Vitality can be taken together as the Juva products compliment each other. We do not anticipate there being any adverse effects from taking Longevity Vitality in the same capsule. Thanks for stopping by with your question!

Hello
I am doing a Candida diet and I have die off symptoms in the form of a rash. I do have young livings stress away, peace and calming, thieves and orthosport, would any of these topically help to heal the rash caused from die off symptoms? Also, I have taken thieves internally before and I was wondering if Thieves taken internally would help to support my liver to remove these toxins being released? I have a rebounder so time to back to using that as well. Thanks!

The last time I had the stomach flu… I drank a lot of Young Living Lemon, and Thieves oil. The flu passed in a few hours. I never had it go away so easily! I like to put Lemon, Grapefruit, or Lime in my water regularly.
what does ”a lot” mean in terms of drops per day?
Hello! Essential oils are concentrated and a little goes a long way. We recommend always following label directions for usage. Thanks for stopping by!
PS Feeling great! I’m now on Liver Cleanse (after others), I love Juva Tone, Juva Cleanse, Juva Powder & new Nutri-Bulit. Candida knocked down, yeah! Bulit helps including fiber of Carrots & other vegies (no fruit). (verses juicing is too much natural sugar.) Been long 4 months of cleanses, but so worth it, figure 61Yrs old time to clear out the junk, blessed no medications in system nor need any. Hope this helps anyone else who hit wall with Maple Syrup.
The Master Cleanse kicked back in Candida, too much Maple Syrup. Had done full 3 mo. version of Colon Cleanse, Candida one, Parasite & bummer. So after day 3 I switched to Stevia, don’t recommend, got weak, so used watered down Protein Powder & finished 7 days that way.
I am currently doing The Amazing Liver and Gallbladder Flush by Andreas Moritz that releases gallstones from the liver and gallbladder ducts that are blocking the ever so important flow of bile. You do a flush every few weeks or so until you have 2 consecutive flushes that produce no stones. For my first three flushes I had already been drinking Lemon EO in every glass of water I drank and loved that it was also helping with flushing. By the time I did my 4th flush, I had added Peppermint to my Lemon water and had been drinking that combo for a few months (I let too much time pass between my third and 4th flushes b/c of the holidays.) The flush itself is only one night into the next morning with a 6 day prep period leading up to the flush. It was during this prep period that I painlessly released a lot of gallstones before the flush even happened! I know that the Lemon/Peppermint combo in my water helped to break down and release those gallstones!
Sore for the typo. What did you do for the 6 day prep for the gallbladder liver flush
I wonder what helps for kidney stones ?
