Daikon for Detox



Lately, I have been adding daikon to my morning juicing, and I'll explain why. After researching this radish, I've found that the juice of raw daikon is abundant in digestive enzymes similar to those found in the human digestive tract.

Daikon radishes have been used in traditional Japanese and macrobiotic cooking to heal the body and to help it discharge fat, excess fluids and old animal foods lingering in the intestines. I personally don't consume fowl, pork, nor beef, only fish. But those of you wanting to detox the animal flesh naturally, daikon is the answer!


Here are a couple of ideas of how you can use this powerful, peppery radish to help cleanse your body:

Grate 2 tablespoons of daikon daily and eat with a few drops of naturally brewed Bragg’s Liquid Aminos(or whatever your preference in soy sauce) to help the body discharge old animal protein and fats.
Make a simple broth to eliminate excess diary products: Heat 1 cup water, 1/2 cup diced daikon. Simmer for 15 minutes, drink warm.
Simply add some daikon to your juicer. I would suggest juicing with plum or apple (something sweet to cut the peppery taste)
