Instructions

Things You'll Need:

• Lemons
• Maple syrup
• Spring water
• Cayenne pepper

1. Detox Benefits From Lemons
   
   Lemon juice contains valuable vitamins and minerals to help detox your body and help it become resistant to some diseases. The vitamin C helps rejuvenate your skin by generating collagen in the tissue. The citric acid helps reduce the risk of heart disease, stomach and oral cancer, and speeds up your metabolism. This type of detox may not be right for everyone so do not begin before consulting with your doctor.

2. Begin the Lemon Detoxification Slowly
   
   Citric juices may have an adverse affect so start the detox by drinking a low dose of lemon tea throughout the day. Drink nothing except real lemon juice dissolved in water. Every three days, for up to two weeks, slightly increase the juice concentration. This detox regime does not include any solid foods. Again, consult your doctor before you begin detoxification.

3. How to Make Lemon Cayenne Pepper Detox Drink
   
   2 tablespoons of freshly squeezed lemon.
   2 tablespoons of organic or natural maple syrup.
   1/10th of a teaspoon of cayenne pepper.
   Mix with 8 oz. of fresh spring water, hot or cold
