Diet and lifestyle

If you are prone to cysts then you need to cut out junk and convenience foods and focus instead on freshly prepared vegetables, fruits and grains etc. Limit sugar and anything containing artificial additives.

Eat organic foods wherever possible to cut down on the number of toxins entering the body.

Eat plenty of plant based fibre to encourage effective elimination via the bowels. Daily salads containing leaves and grated veg will provide plenty. A decent bowl of homemade muesli containing fruit, grains and nuts and seeds will also provide plenty of fibre.

Drink plenty of water, herb teas and freshly squeezed citrus juices.

Include plenty of garlic, onions, leeks, chives etc for their blood moving and anti-bacterial effects. Warming spices like cayenne and ginger will also be useful.

Use seaweeds in your cooking by adding to soups or sprinkling it dried over meals. All the edible seaweeds are rich in detoxifying nutrients.

Add a good handful of fresh watercress to your daily salads to benefit from their potent cyst dissolving properties.
