Juicing the Right Way (or You Could Harm Your Health)

If you're into juicing, then here are some quick rules that you need to follow

1. Not All Greens Belong in Your Juicer

While spinach, kale, and other leafy greens seem healthy, they’re rich in oxalates, which can bind with calcium in your body and lead to kidney stones.

Ayurveda recommends avoiding juicing high-oxalate greens regularly.

2. Some Veggies Shouldn’t Be Juiced

Not every vegetable is suited for juicing.

Focus on select vegetables that are fiber-rich, hydrating, and digestible in raw form.

3. Never Mix Fruits & Veggies in Juicing

Fruits are high in sucrose and fructose, natural sugars that ferment quickly.

Mixing them with veggies can disrupt digestion.

Ayurvedic tip: Eat your fruits, don’t juice them. And juice veggies separately.

4. For Gut Detox: Ash Gourd Juice

Ash gourd is powerful for cleansing your entire gut — the small intestine, large intestine, and colon.

Drink immediately after juicing. It contains ascorbic acid, which oxidizes fast and can turn toxic.

Avoid if you have a cold, cough, or sinus — it's very cooling.

5. Liver Detox: ABC Juice, the Ayurvedic Way

The classic “ABC” juice gets a twist:

A = Amla (not Apple)

B = Beetroot

C = Carrot

Apples and veggies don’t mix in Ayurveda.

Amla (Indian gooseberry) is more compatible, loaded with Vitamin C, and less sugary.

This trio helps rebuild liver enzymes and supports detoxification deeply.

6. For Kidney & Urinary Tract: Banana Stem Juice

Banana stem juice is a hidden gem for kidney health, UTI prevention, and even dissolving kidney/gallbladder stones.

Ask your vendor for banana stem (it’s discarded after fruiting). Juice it cold-pressed and drink immediately.

Also great for weight loss.

7. To Cool Inflammation: Celery + Cucumber

A combo that cools, hydrates, and reduces systemic inflammation.

• Celery: Potent and anti-inflammatory — wash well with apple cider vinegar and baking soda to remove chemicals and parasites.

• Cucumber: Cooling and kidney-friendly.

8. To Remove Heavy Metals: Cilantro + Parsley

Exposure to air pollution, processed foods, and packaged goods can leave us with toxic heavy metals like mercury.

Cilantro and parsley help flush out 85–95% of heavy metals naturally.

9. For Blood Purity & Glowing Skin: Moringa + Spirulina

If you're dealing with skin issues like acne, rosacea, eczema, or psoriasis, this one’s for you.

Rich in iron, rebuilds RBCs, and boosts both skin and hair health. Supports anti-inflammatory and immune-boosting functions.

10. The All-In-One Super Juice: Wheatgrass
    

A daily elixir packed with:

• Vitamins A, C, E, K

• Iron, calcium, magnesium

• Polyphenols & flavonoids (anti-cancer benefits)

• Chlorophyll, which detoxifies the blood and builds vitality

Just 10–20 ml a day is powerful — you don’t need a full glass.
