Optional addition for liver cleansing: one small fresh BEET added to any juice or blend. Note: fresh beet will cause the liver to dump toxins into the bloodstream, which can make a person very nauseous if amount of beet used is excessive. One small beet per day will normally be ok, or NOT to exceed 1/4 cup of beet juice. You may need even less in order to be comfortable. Better to start low and work up to 1/4 c. beet juice in your blends.

Note: Fresh raw beet will turn stools red, or cause a red drainage from them in the toilet, so don't be alarmed, it's not blood. If you're using fresh beet in your juice mix, skip the ground beetroot in your herbs. Use fresh beet if you can, as it has strong presence and is powerful. Beet stains badly, as do carrots, so wear old clothes and/or an apron when juicing.

Optional additions to give "zip": a handful of radishes, or 2 inches of daikon radish which is milder than regular red radishes, or 1/2" ginger. (Do not use these additions if you have strong pitta dosha or inflammatory tendencies, especially the ginger which is an extremely hot-temperatured herb and
vasodilator.)
