THE LYMPHATIC CLEANSE

WITH LISA LEVITT GAINSLEY

💚 You’re halfway there!
Welcome to Day 3 of your Cleanse, Lymph Friends!

How are you feeling?!

Day 3 is usually the day folks feel all sorts of things. It can be the most challenging day, as your body might be feeling the effects of the detox now. Some of you might be hitting your stride and feeling wonderful. All of these feelings are normal.

Today we are focusing on cleansing the Liver with some supportive modalities such as a Liver Flush Drink, a Yoga practice to detox your digestive organs and applying a Castor Oil Pack.

Do what you can and be gentle on yourself. It’s ok if you aren’t able to complete every element of today’s agenda. We are introducing new techniques, so bookmark what you want to save for a later date.

You can find all Cleanse materials, including Monday’s LIVE ZOOM REPLAY with the Lymphatic massage practce

FIRST THINGS FIRST

JOURNAL.Take a couple moments and jot down your dreams or the first few things that come to your mind without worrying about what any of it means. Listen to your subconscious.

Brush your teeth when you wake up in the morning.

Drink room temperature water (or warm water) with lemon. This will aid your digestion, support your lymphatic system in removing metabolic waste and help carry nutrients to your cells. Please continue to drink plenty of water throughout the day.

Meditate Give Camilla’s meditation another try HERE

💧 Liver Flush Drink.

In Chinese Medicine the Liver & Gallbladder organs are associated with Spring (Welcome Spring Equinox!) These organs filter blood from your digestive tract, break down fat in your intestines, detoxify chemicals and drugs, and produces a whopping 25-50% of lymph that flows through the thoracic duct. Some of the emotions associated with these organs are anger, irritability, impatience, rigidity, indecision, and nervousness. If you can relate to any of these feelings ~ give this drink a try! (Don’t drink if you’re pregnant or nursing as you don’t need to cleanse now.)

Grapefruit contains two primary antioxidants: naringin and naringenin. These may help protect the liver from injury by reducing inflammation and protecting the liver cells.

LIVER DETOX

~ AND LYMPH

As I mentioned earlier, your Liver produces a whopping 25-50% of lymph that flows through the thoracic duct. Beginning to detox the liver will help alleviate the toll on how much your Lymph System needs to filter and process. I highly recommend you do an inventory of what chemicals may be lurking in your household products, beauty & skincare products (and deodorant!) 60% of what you put on your skin gets absorbed by your lymphatic system and can wreak havoc on your hormones. Opt for clean natural ingredients when you’re buying things for your home and body!

BREAKFAST

Kale Chips & Baked Tofu


I love this simple baked recipe for breakfast because it allows me to pop the ingredients in the oven so I can get other things done without having to stand over the stove! Kale contains glutathione, which kick starts the liver's toxin cleansing enzymes. Tofu is high in omegas and is a primary source of isoflavones (a type of flavonoid) that contains antioxidant, anti-inflammatory and anti-cancer properties. It’s an excellent plant protein that’s good for your heart, brain and bone health!

AFTER BREAKFAST

☀️ Go Outside and Get Sunlight.

By now you know I want you all talking daily walks. In addition to improving lymph and blood flow, exposing your body to sunlight increases cortisol, epinephrine and dopamine. This will benefit your energy, immune system function and mood! Win. Win. Win!

LUNCH

Green Detox Soup
Recipe from Elissa Goodman

Try making this detox soup! It’s full of leafy green vegetables that has cleansing properties like the nutrient chlorophyll, which soaks up a lot of toxins from the bloodstream and has beneficial effects on your blood and lymph flow.

YOGA

🧘‍♀️ with SEANE CORN

I am so excited to introduce you to my favorite yoga teacher, Seane Corn! Seane and I first met in 1999 when I was studying to become a yoga teacher at Yoga Works in Los Angeles. Seane was already a well established yoga teacher and has been teaching celebrities and workshops all over the world for decades. Her knowledge, dedication and understanding of how essential yoga is to your body, mind and spirit make her a true yogi healer. I know you will fall in love with her approach and feel a transformation when you practice with her. And obviously, yoga is phenomenal for lymphatic circulation!

🧡 If you LOVE Seane’s classes as much as I do, I highly recommend taking more classes with her! Find her work & offerings HERE.

DINNER

Broiled Salmon with Brussel Sprouts

Fatty fish is rich in omega-3 fatty acids, which are the good fats that help reduce inflammation. These fats may be especially helpful in the liver, as they appear to prevent the buildup of excess fats and maintain enzyme levels in the liver. Brussel sprouts support digestive health, feeds the beneficial gut bacteria (which is tied to positive mood, immunity, and anti-inflammation) and helps regulate blood sugar levels.

If you don’t want to eat fish, feel free to substitute with other omega rich food such as spinach, walnuts, eggs, soybeans, seaweed, flax seeds & chia seeds

CASTOR OIL PACK

TO SUPPORT LIVER DETOX

I’ve been using Castor Oil packs for over 30 years! Back in my day they were a messy combination of oil soaked flannel wrapped in plastic with a heating pad. I did it often because castor oil contains ricinoleic acid that helps with inflammation, constipation, period cramps, pain and improves immune function.

I recently met Dr.Marisol. She’s the founder of Queen of Thrones (you can find her on Instagram @bewellqueen). Dr. Marisol created a product that takes away all the mess of Castor Oil packs and delivers the benefits in a simple, neat manner so you can enjoy a better immune, digestive & nervous system. She created a video explaining How to Use the Pack and Why you should Try it!

In this video, Dr. Marisol speaks about the way Castor Oil can reduce stress and inflammation, and support detox, drainage and cleansing.

🛀 TAKE AN EPSOM SALT BATH (optional. You may want to go right to bed after the Castor oil pack, or you might want to bathe before applying the castor pack)


☁️ GET PROPER SLEEP… Because… your Glymphatic system needs it!

📖 JOURNAL Write down how you feel, what you’ve been enjoying so far in this Cleanse - especially any ideas that are coming to mind. I’ve found that when I eat clean, I get bursts of creativity- so take note of your thoughts/visions and desires!

May you be in Good Lymphatic Health Always!

Xx,

Lisa
