Proper elimination is a key component of the Neera Super Cleanse. All the toxins and wastes have to be continuously washed away during the diet and not be allowed to accumulate again somewhere else in the body. During the cleanse it is normal to urinate frequently. After all, you are giving your body an internal flush and most of the body’s toxins are eliminated this way. Bowel movements however, usually become less frequent during the Neera Super Cleanse. This is simply because you aren’t eating any solid food. As part of the cleansing process you should have a bowel movement every day. For most people we recommend drinking a mild herbal laxative tea like the Neera-Lax tea and/or drinking the “sea-salt shake.” Some people who are very regular with their bowel movements will not need any laxative stimulation. To have a daily bowel movement most people drink a cup of laxative tea at night before going to bed. This loosens waste deposits in the colon. Then in the morning, another cup of laxative tea usually stimulates a bowel movement. In the original Master Cleanser / Lemonade diet, Stanley Burroughs recommended substituting the morning cup of laxative tea with the “sea-salt shake.” It is a very effective laxative that is also a very good colonic. It doesn’t taste good but it is very effective and we suggest trying it at least once during the cleanse. To prepare the “sea-salt shake” mix one quart of warm water with two level teaspoons of sea salt. It is very important that you use sea salt and not regular table salt. Drink the whole liter first thing in the morning. A bowel movement will usually occur quickly within half hour to one hour. Note about excessive use of laxatives We do not recommend taking laxatives for weight loss. Some people are under the misconception that drinking lots of laxative tea will help them lose weight. It is simply not true and it is not safe. We only recommend drinking up to 2 cups of the herbal laxative tea per day during the length of the cleanse. This is only meant to help stimulate a daily bowel movement.
