FAQ π‘β
What role does alfalfa play in eliminating mucus?
β‘οΈ Alfalfa acts as a natural detoxifier rich in chlorophyll, which cleanses the blood, cleanses the liver and helps clear mucus from the respiratory and digestive tracts.
Why combine alfalfa with carrots?
β‘οΈ Carrot provides beta-carotene and fiber that complement the detoxifying action of alfalfa, helping to regenerate tissues and protect mucous membranes.
How long can I follow the carrot and alfalfa juice cure?
β‘οΈ A 10-14 day cure is recommended, with one-week breaks between evenings to avoid overloading the digestive system.
Can it also be taken in the evening?
β‘οΈ Ideally in the morning on an empty stomach, but it can also be drunk in the evening if it does not contain honey - to avoid a rise in blood sugar before bedtime.
Does this juice also help cleanse the sinuses?
β‘οΈ Yes, the lymphatic drainage and detoxifying effect reduces nasal mucus congestion and sinus inflammation. πΏ
What if bloating occurs in the first few days?
β‘οΈ It is a normal detoxification reaction. You can reduce the dose by half for 2-3 days until the body adapts.
Is it recommended for gastritis?
β‘οΈ Yes, but only diluted with extra water as the raw juice can be slightly irritating to the stomach in some sensitive people.
Can it be given to children?
β‘οΈ Yes, in small quantities (50-100 ml), but only after the age of 10 and with the pediatrician's consent.
Can alfalfa be replaced with another ingredient?
β‘οΈ Yes, you can use young leaves of barley, green wheat or spinach for similar but milder effects.
Is it also useful for a productive cough?
β‘οΈ Yes, the juice loosens secretions and speeds up their removal from the bronchi. π€§
Can it be kept for more than 2 days?
β‘οΈ No, because rapid oxidation destroys the active enzymes; ideally it should be consumed fresh.
Can it be combined with other detox juices?
β‘οΈ Yes, especially with green apple, celery, cucumber or ginger juices for a synergistic effect on the lymphatic system. π
