Detox Guru

This is a great detox and everyday diet for Rosacea. It clears the body of acids that are inflammatory and irritate the skin, causing flare-ups.

The philosophy of Ayurvedic medicine dictates that certain food are no-nos for different body types. So, although the detox doesn't involve cutting down on portion size, eliminating refined, acidic and toxic foods such as wheat, potatoes, red meat, alcohol and dairy produce for three weeks, will alter the pH balance of your digestive system and flush out toxins. According to Dr. Roshi, creator of the Detox Diet, you will no longer crave chocolate, pies, pizzas or chips. "After the 21-day detox, people don't want to go back to how they used to eat," he explains. "It changes your palate along with increasing your energy levels. Your skin will be softer, your eyes brighter, you'll sleep better and have no sugar cravings. Generally your taste will change, so you don't want to eat very sugary or salty foods. Because the detox purifies your blood and changes your blood pH, any interruption after that, such as a biscuit or chocolate, will have a profound effect on your body. If you do, you might wish you hadn't, as it could result in a stomach upset or headache. "

No's: Red meat, dairy, fruit wheat, gluten or yeast, alcohol, biscuits, cakes or doughnuts, jams or spreads except honey, coffee, decaffeinated coffee or tea except for herbal tea sugar, chocolate or sweets, artificial flavourings such as tomato sauce, vinegar or mustard. A clean, clear system internally results in clear, radiant skin externally.
