Recently, I had a severe allergic reaction to something unknown. After trying every natural remedy as well as Benadryl for a week, I was still breaking out in hives. I also knew that going to the doctor was no use since he could not do anything.
So, as a last resort I went to the library and began researching ways to cleanse my system. Since my allergic reaction was both physically apparent and quite disconcerting, I wanted to get rid of it as soon as I could. Amongst many ways of getting rid of hives and other reactions, I found something that was easy and safe enough to try. My remedy was a green shake. It is a smoothie made of green leafs like spinach, collard greens and dandelion. One of the ways I made this shake edible was to add a kiwi or a banana. The best way of neutralizing the grassy taste is by adding avocado. There are quite a few better and more edible ways of making a green smoothie, but I have not experimented with them yet. The idea behind drinking a green smoothie is to use the natural healing abilities of the plant in its raw form to detoxify and alkalize your body. All I can say is that after drinking these smoothies for three days in a row, two times a day, I got rid of all of my allergic reaction. So, if you have an allergy, or just want to detoxify your body, read up on the green smoothies or experiment with mixing some greens and fruits. The books below in the works cited section are just amazing for your health needs.
