Fresh juices have remarkable cleansing and restorative powers. Green veggie juices in particular are great for detoxing the body’s systems and strengthening the liver.

A detox programme is the classical treatment for weaning addicts off alcohol and drugs. Although no one is suggesting that you are alcohol dependent, a detox remains one of the best natural treatments for a hangover. For a simple detox, drinking fresh vegetable juice is one of the simplest and most effective cures. Vegetable juices have a much milder action in the body than fruit juices and are also excellent restoratives and should soon put you back on your feet.

Chlorophyll is the ‘green blood’ of plants that enables them to harvest the sun’s life-giving energy. It has potent cleansing properties and is what makes green vegetables so helpful in a detox. As a rule, the darker green the vegetable, the more potent its potential detoxing and curative powers. Dark green vegetables are also rich in B vitamins and minerals.

Detox veggie juice

This ‘green energy’ juice is made from spinach and celery, although you could substitute watercress, curly kale or cabbage for the spinach if you prefer. Celery is included for its high water content and its toning effect on the kidneys. According to traditional herbal medicine it also calms the nerves. To make enough for one serving you will need 2 sticks of celery and a large handful of spinach leaves. Wash the veggies and put them in a juice extractor. If you wish, you could mix with a little fresh carrot juice for flavour. Drink up immediately, as the juice will lose its potency if it is left standing around.
