My personal journey with my human body oscillates between these three labels. Historically, most often landing on the last…the limiting, confining and restrictive structure that physically moves me through this earthly realm. However, in every season of my rotation of identification, the body has been remarkably resilient and gracious with my actions and feelings toward it, and that has been a great gift 🙏 In this particular season of my relationship to my body, we aim to honor and support it very differently. We hope to embrace and accept its abilities and cultivate a healthy communication and understanding of its needs…it’s a slow process of transformation, but we have been making progress 🐌 In November 2025, we experienced consecutive evenings of night rash outbreaks. Primarily on my legs and arms. It was alarming because we have always had a pretty smooth and consistent system - no history of ailments or aches/pains, regular bowel movements and regular menstruation, no medications etc. - but this body does have a lot of miles on it and as such, “oil changes” and regular maintence looks different than before. These rashes occurred for about 2 weeks and a friend studying at the Ayurvedic institute suggested a shift in diet and drinking a cooling cumin, coriander, fennel tea. This was received very well by my body and the rashes subsided completely. Another friend had suggested a liver cleanse because the liver and skin are closely connected. She gave me a book by Andreas Moritz, “The Amazing Liver and Gallbladder Flush”. It’s a fascinating read and we have been wanting to carve out the time for this liver flush and finally this past week we did. The results were absolutely incredible 🏆 We did not have and pains or obvious symptoms of gallstones before this cleanse - it was more of an experiment and desire to do right by my liver and skin. We also did not experience any pain or discomfort during the passing of over 200 stones 🤯 Most of them were extremely tiny, but at least 2 dozen were quite sizable 😳. A nickel is 21.21mm in diameter - as shown in the picture below we had several stones that size which passed naturally with complete ease.

Sharing a secret, try it.
