Juicing Remedies For Colitis

I recently posted about a book that came with my juicer called "Juice Alive: The Ultimate Guide to Juicing Remedies." The book has many remedies for many different health disorders. In this post I'm going to give some information and juicing recipes that are listed in the book as remedies for colitis.

Note: The following is taken directly from the 2nd edition printing of the book, as it appears on page 173.

Colitis

Colitis is a condition of the colon that is characterized by inflammation, as well as abdominal pain, diarrhea, flatulence and, in some cases fever. It is primarily caused by lack of fiber in the diet, poor eating habits, poor diet, nutritional deficiencies, and food allergies. The following juices can be helpful for reversing and preventing colitis. 

Juicing Recipes

• Juice 3 medium carrots, 1/4 head cabbage, 1-2 garlic cloves, and 2 celery stalks. Makes 16 ounces. Consume once daily
• Juice 1/4 head cabbage, 1 medium papaya, 2-3 medium carrots, and add 2 ounces wheatgrass juice. Makes 20 ounces. Consume once daily.
• Juice 1/2 small head cabbage, 8 ounces broccoli, and 1/2 medium beet. Makes 8 ounces. Consume one to three times daily.
• Juice 8 ounces blueberries, 1/2 medium papaya, and 1 medium apple. Makes 10 ounces. Consume once to twice daily. 

Healthy Twist

• Drink juice of 1/2 medium lemon with warm water each morning, followed by carrot and apple or carrot, beet, and cucumber juice (8 ounces).
• Aloe vera added to the above juices, or to 8 ounces of filtered water, can also be helpful.

Consideration

• Avoid citrus juices.
