This drink is a gentle bowel mover and cleanser, which will lubricate your bowels and gently sweep away retained waste. It is best used as breakfast for 2-3 weeks at a time while following a meat and wheat free diet, rich in fruit, vegetables, whole grains such as millet and quinoa, goats yoghurt, legumes and raw nuts and seeds.
