Lime Tree Sapwood Detox The best anti-cellulite detox of its kind!

The best anti-cellulite detox of its kind!

Ladies, this detox is made for you!

It wasn’t until the 20th century that the most powerful part of the lime tree sapwood plant was used: the sapwood itself. Ever since, lime tree sapwood has been recognized for its powerful detoxifying properties. As a vigorous cure, it acts upon three emunctories (the organs in charge of eliminating toxins): liver, kidneys, and intestines. It is also a great cleanse for the body, which can help in adapting to changing seasons. It can also be very effective for resolving problems with water retention, as well as cellulite.

DIFFICULTY: very simple

DURATION: 1 to 3 weeks

A SIMPLE DETOX TO MAKE AT HOME

This cure is anything but complex, since it is not accompanied by any particular diet.
Make sure to purchase sticks of lime tree sapwood (if possible ask for “wild Roussillon”), rather than shavings which are from older wood that tends to be less rich in the active ingredients.
Be sure to insist upon this point with your pharmacist or herbalist.

PREPARATION: BODY DETOX DECOCTION

Place two sticks of lime tree sapwood in cold water, bring to a boil, then allow to simmer under a low heat for 15 minutes. Allow it to infuse for 10 minutes after removing from heat and then filter. Drink hot or cold over the course of the day for a period of one week to three weeks, renewing the treatment if necessary every two months.

It is a detox that is gentle on the body, allowing you to create your dream figure for summer. This decoction aids in weight loss and acts against water retention.

Ideally, consume one to two liters per day of the decoction. Even if you remove the sticks of lime tree sapwood before drinking there are likely to be some bitter-tasting remnants, it is a good idea to consider filtering before consuming.

Some people will feel the need to add sugar to the mixture. However, it is better to avoid adding any sugar to this cure! For those who cannot do without a little sweetness, it is possible to add agave syrup or honey in small quantities.
Important to know:

This decoction takes some time to prepare, do not hesitate to prepare it the night before. Place it in the refrigerator or keep it in a thermos and drink it the next day. Be careful, this drink oxidizes in 24 hours and loses its therapeutic properties. Produce only the quantity needed for the next day (1-2 liters).

Also, by detoxifying tissues we can optimize the metabolic function of fat and avoid an uncontrollable gain of weight, at some times crucially important for women, for example in the critical stage of menopause.

AND PLUS, THERE ARE NO HARMFUL SIDE-EFFECTS since it is a gentle and effective detox for the body, while not being overly aggressive (contrary to the artichoke detox which can be too violent for a fatigued metabolism in certain cases.)

DID YOU KNOW
Decoction or infusion, what’s the difference ?

A decoction is made by putting plants, roots or wood in cold water, bringing it to a boil, then allowing it to simmer for the indicated time.

An infusion is created by plunging the plant into hot water with no active source of heat, and then covering and allowing to infuse for 10-12 minutes for plants and 15 minutes for leaves.

TO OPTIMIZE THE EFFECTS OF THIS DETOX,
SEVERAL DIETARY RECOMMENDATIONS:

Limit yourself from consuming too many cooked fats, but use raw fats, since fat is essential. It is thus important to consume cold-pressed vegetable oils (olive oil, sesame, sunflower, pumpkin seed, peanut, safflower, etc.) but also, if you wish, raw butter limited to 8 grams per day.

Cooked fats, fried foods, mayonnaise and lard should be abstained from. In fact, all oils that are cooked or fried release harmful substances that can even be carcinogenic and are very difficult for the pancreas and liver to process.

Favor cooking methods that don’t call for fats (pressure cooker, oven, steamed, grilled…) Eat starches and other complex carbohydrates at midday rather than at night. Eat fruits and vegetables, and favor white meats, fish, and shellfish.
