I love to DETOX. My favorite way is by drinking Detox Water. Most everyone who knows me knows how I love to cleanse. I have tried many in my life. My personal favorite but the hardest one I ever did was a 45 day Candida Yeast Overgrowth Cleanse.
As far as Detoxing you can do a 3 day and get yourself back on track. I am really enjoying this detox water recipe. It is easy to make and tastes amazing! Mix this up and drink 1 gallon per day for 3 days in addition to eating a whole foods diet. Avoid refined grains, sugars and processed foods. I honestly reused my lemons, cucumbers and mint and they produced a quality detox water again.
- 1 gallon of water (spring, distilled or filtered)
- 1 whole organic lemon, sliced and seeds removed
- ½ cucumber sliced
- 10 mint leaves, organic if possible
- Wash and dry the lemon.
- Slice and remove seeds
- Fill pitcher with 1 gallon of distilled or spring water
- Add lemons
- Add cucumbers
- Add mint
- Refrigerate for 12 hours and enjoy

This is great. Would lemon juice from a bottle work too? thx
No, it needs to be fresh lemons. Organic even better.
I’m a newbie at detox water! What exactly is this supposed to do for your body?
If flushes out toxins and impurities from our bodies that we get through the food we eat, our air and lotions and body products we use (petro chemicals)
I despise mint!! Is there anything I can use in place of the mint??
I think basil or tarragon would taste great too. Even lemon thyme would be nice. (don’t know if the mint is particularly needed for the “detox,” though)
You could do basil or cilantro – both detox!
Can you.use limes if you don’t have lemons or does it have to be lemons?
Flat Belly Diet uses this Type of detox and calls it “Sassy Water” the difference being they also have you add a little fresh ginger.
Can you post more detrox water recipes
Do you have to stay home to do this (does it give you bathroom issues?)
Just frequent urination.
Also, do you eat anything those three days or just drink the gallon of detox water?
You eat clean – no processed foods. Veggies, Fruits, Nuts, Meat are best choices. I limit no dairy and grains. No coffee.
Thanks..have it in the refrig right now!
I just made this last night and already have 2 quarts down by 9am! I wish I would’ve brought the other 2 mason jars with me today! I love water by itself, but this stuff is delish!
I did add about a 1/2 inch piece of ginger root to each jar. I didn’t have mint this time, but read that mint adds a lot of health benefits, so I will for sure be adding it next time! I am likely going to start growing it myself and add it to many food/drink items.
Health benefits of mint include:
- Soothing the digestive tract and if you are having stomach ache then it can be of great help
- Drinking herbal mint tea reduces irritated bowel syndromes, cleanses the stomach and also clear up skin disorders such as acne.
- Mint acts as a cooling sensation to the skin and helps in dealing with skin irritations.
- Mint helps in eliminating toxins from the body.
- Crushed mint leaves helps in whitening teeth and combat bad breath.
- Mint is a very good cleanser for the blood.
Thanks again for the recipe!
I love it too!
