Healing Aids... - Fasting - Additional Hints

As previously mentioned, rest, take naps, and above all, relax. This is a time of healing and repair. Avoid strenuous exercise so your body can conserve energy.

If your tongue is coated and/or you have an unpleasant taste in your mouth, rinse with fresh lemon juice. If you wear dentures, keep them in during the fast to avoid gum shrinkage.

Wash or brush your skin to promote elimination through the largest organ in the body and improve circulation. Avoid harsh soaps, shampoos, and deodorants, which may contain the very toxins you are attempting to eliminate. Use naturally sourced products instead.

Be sure to keep warm as your lowered metabolism may make you more susceptible to chills.
