Have you ever thought about a cleanse or wondered if you need one? Welcome to this Mini Drop episode of the Well Drop Podcast where we dive into cleansing.

You'll feel the “craving” for a cleanse, typically after summer, leading into fall. Time your cleanse with your cycle and the moon's cycle. You don't want to do a cleanse the week leading up to your cycle, because your body is naturally holding onto water during that week. Start a cleanse when your cycle starts or 5 days after. Find more from the Well Drop:Instagram: www.instagram.com/thewelldrop Website: www.thewelldrop.com
