Cleansing Your Body

Cleansing your body is the most proactive and powerful way to create optimal health. A cleanse is a maintenance-stop for your body, not unlike the act of taking your car to the mechanics for an oil and filter change. According to Ayurvedic (traditional East Indian medicine) and Tibetan Medicine, disease in the body first starts in the digestive tract. Much like a car filter, over time, your intestines inevitably become coated with intestinal plaque, making proper digestion and nutrient absorbsion difficult. This is reversible through the process of cleansing. A clean intestine maximizes absorption of nutrients which enables your body to regenerate and rebuild more effectively. A clean intestine is the cornerstone to good health and maintaining a resilient immune system.

The Cleanse Team

The Healing Cuisine Cleanse (see www.TheHealingCuisine.com) has been designed to work with your body's natural intention to maintain balance. Unlike other cleanses, this technique first places your body in a state of maximum nutrition, so that your body can regenerate stronger tissue. While most cleansing programs deplete the body of receiving nutrients, in the effort of expelling toxins, this cleanse ensures that your body receives optimal nutrients while also detoxing.

Much like building an architectural structure to withstand the test of time, choosing quality building material is a paramount decision when cleansing. The Healing Cuisine Cleanse uses only the highest quality of ingredients. For example, bentonite clay is imported, which is then added to a synergistic blend of phylum husks, flax seeds and aloe vera juice. This uniquely blended "internal brushing" cocktail, not only gently removes intestinal plaque, it draws out pesticides, herbicides and heavy metals from the body. High potency herbal elixirs are taken to naturally enhance the rate at which the colon relieves itself of intestinal plaque. Noni, one of the primary super foods used in the cleanse is native to Costa Rica. The fruit and vegetables used in the raw meals and or juices are all fresh, organic and locally grown.

The Yoga Team

The daily yoga and body maintainance classes are offered at the beachfront yoga deck at Hotel Tropico Latino (see the "yoga tab" at www.hoteltropicolatino.com). The classes are designed to ignite optimal healing and to help balance the seven main chakras and their corresponding glands and organs. The movement and meditation, in combination with focused body work is used to exponentially maximize the cleansing and rebuilding process. (please refer to "About The Bodywork" below for more details) Optional daily beach walks, time spent soaking in tide pools and natural clay baths also help nourish your body, through the skin, with important minerals. You will enter mother nature's most splendid natural spa!

If you are entering the cleanse with a chronic health issue, like lower back pain or an auto immune disease you may consider an extra iridology, hot sauna/cold plunge pool and colon hydro-therapy session at the O3 Institute.

This additional option will target your specific metabolism and health issues more carefully and offer an insight as to what herbs and natural remedies can help. This personal natural healing option is an additional $60.00 (US).

About the Bodywork

On day four of the cleanse you will experience a Manual Lymphatic Drainage (MLD) massage. The massage will be performed by a certified professional at the beachfront "Yoga & Spa Natural" located at The Hotel Tropico Latino (see "spa tab" at above Hotel Tropico Latino link). The MLD massage is a type of gentle body work which encourages the natural circulation of lymph fluid through out the body, in turn boosting the functions of the lymphatic system. Manual lymph drainage uses a specific amount of pressure (less than 9 ounces per square inch) and rhythmic circular movements to stimulate lymph flow.

Functions of the Lymphatic System

The lymphatic system works in close cooperation with other body systems to perform these important functions:

The lymphatic system aids the immune system in destroying pathogens and filtering waste so that the lymph can be safely returned to the circulatory system.
To remove excess fluid, waste, debris, dead blood cells, pathogens, cancer cells, and toxins from these cells and the tissue spaces between them.
The lymphatic system also works with the circulatory system to deliver nutrients, oxygen, and hormones from the blood to the cells that make up the tissues of the body.
