Water Retention Reducing Soup

The soup recipe is highly nutritious and naturally detoxifies the body. It works by cleansing the liver, gall bladder and vascular system of any ama (undigested toxins). If you follow it for a few days you will lose weight, as well as any retained water and feel lighter, clearer and more energised- but you need to have a little willpower initially, though it does tend to get easier day by day.
