Fasting opens the doors to the inside
Fasting as a practice of abstaining from solid food has a long history. Hippocrates, Hildegard von Bingen and numerous world religions emphasise the healing and detoxifying effects of fasting. Hildegard von Bingen expressed this with the words: "Fasting is much more than eating nothing - it opens doors to the inside."
Fasting triggers healing processes in the body that change the physiology and trigger reactions that increase the elimination of toxins. Research has shown that fasting can reduce inflammation and lower high blood pressure. After the first three days of fasting, you can already feel a regeneration accompanied by increased energy, a better mood and a feeling of light-heartedness.
In the wake of increasing health awareness, many people choose fasting as a means of looking after their bowels. For one or more weeks, they only consume water, tea and vegetable broth. This renunciation of solid food is perceived as liberating.

For those who cannot decide to go on a total fast, "fasting light" is becoming increasingly popular. This is less about giving up all food and more about rethinking lifestyle and consumption habits. This includes abstaining from meat, sweets, alcohol and indulgences such as television or social media. Fasting thus becomes an opportunity to scrutinise and consciously shape your own lifestyle.
Regardless of which fasting programme you choose, Manju accompanies you and supports your intestines, positively influencing the entire body via the abdominal organ axes.
For a healthy gut - microbiome-friendly nutrition
Microorganisms, long in the dark of ignorance, are today unfolding new dimensions in science, especially in medicine. Humans only exist thanks to a symbiotic relationship with trillions of microorganisms - a human "super organ", the microbiome. This has a complex relationship with our cells and organs, especially in the small intestine and large intestine, where the majority of these microorganisms are found.
As the architect of the immune system and regulator of numerous metabolic processes, the gut influences our entire body system. The intestinal microbiota, formerly known as intestinal flora, is indispensable. A microbiome-friendly diet, rich in fibre, balanced and highly plant-based, as well as the targeted intake of pre- and probiotics supports intestinal health. This is where the effect of Manju comes in - as a high-quality food supplement, it supports our gut and therefore the whole body in a variety of ways via the various abdominal organ axes.
Manju in herbal tea for a supportive fasting cure
Manju, which can be used in a variety of ways, unfolds its positive effects not only as a drink on its own, but also as a supplement in a soothing herbal tea during a fasting cure. Adding 10 to 50 ml of Manju per day is an effective addition to herbal tea.
Stinging nettle: With its purifying and blood-cleansing effect, stinging nettle is ideal for the fasting period. A nettle spinach during the build-up period supplies the body with iron, minerals and trace elements. Also as a tea.
Birch leaves: These contain active ingredients that are particularly important for the excretory organs (skin and kidneys). The diuretic birch leaf tea promotes well-being and can improve the appearance of the skin.
Dandelion: Rich in bitter substances, dandelion stimulates liver function. Its diuretic effect, similar to that of nettle and birch leaves, makes it an invigorating powerhouse. Young dandelion leaves, collected before flowering, are particularly suitable for infusions. They contain few bitter substances.
When preparing herbal teas, remember that less is more. Due to the strong diuretic effect, it is better to drink only one cup a day and enough water in addition so as not to overtax the body. It is also important to emphasise that children, pregnant women and sick people should not fast under any circumstances.

Tips for flavourful enjoyment
Use 2-3 tablespoons of dried herbs or a handful of fresh herbs for the tea. To preserve the full flavour, cover the cup with hot water after brewing. This allows the essential oils in the herbs to flow back into the cup without evaporating. After a brewing time of 5 minutes, the tea can be flavoured with honey or manju.
And now take some time to relax and savour and open the door to your inner self!
