BLEZ Herbal Pharmacy's Herbal Fasting Drink

Fasting, a term that has become increasingly common, literally means "abstinence from food." By refraining from eating for a certain period to rest the digestive system, various health-promoting benefits can be expected, such as intestinal detoxification, improved skin, and weight reduction. While fasting is often associated with dieting, it actually offers many other benefits, as listed below:

At BLEZ Herbal Pharmacy, under the supervision of our herbal doctors, we have developed specialized herbal drinks to support your fasting journey. We support both individual and group fasting registrations, so please feel free to contact us if you are interested.

Expected Benefits of Fasting

• Weight Loss Effect
  It increases your basal metabolism, making your body more prone to weight loss.
  
• Gastrointestinal Cleansing (Detoxification)
  The energy usually used for digestion can be redirected to excrete waste products, promoting the discharge of accumulated stool, etc.
  
• Improved Skin
  As waste products are eliminated from the body, it leads to clearer and more radiant skin.
  
• Improved Blood Flow
  The kidneys can fully concentrate energy on purifying the blood in the body, resulting in cleaner and smoother blood.
  
• Enhanced Immunity
  Fasting improves the function of white blood cells.
  
• Liver Cleansing
  Resting the liver, which can be fatigued by rich and oily Thai food and alcohol, enhances its purification function.
  
• Taste Normalization
  It normalizes taste buds that have become dulled from a diet of strong flavors.

By engaging in fasting, you can expect the above-mentioned effects.
*While individual results may vary, the majority of those who have tried it have expressed joy, stating, "I felt some kind of good effect."

Important Notes on Fasting

Foods to Avoid During the Fasting Period (including preparation and recovery days)

During the fasting period, you should generally refrain from consuming anything other than liquids.
If you cannot bear the discomfort and feel unwell, please consume easily digestible items such as thin rice porridge, plain rice porridge, miso soup without solids, jelly, or cold-pressed juice. Additionally, please avoid alcohol, fatty meals, meat, eggs, dairy products, animal proteins, caffeinated beverages, carbonated drinks, spices, chemical seasonings, processed foods, and white sugar as much as possible.

Precautions for Fasting

• Pregnant or breastfeeding women, individuals with low blood pressure, underweight individuals (BMI <18.5), or those with diabetes may find it difficult to participate; please consult your primary care physician.
• If you have a chronic illness and are taking regular medication, please consult your primary care physician or pharmacist before fasting.
• During the fasting period, please aim to consume at least 1500cc-2000cc of fluids daily, including the Thai herbal drinks.
• While fasting is expected to have various positive effects on the body, you may sometimes experience adverse reactions such as healing crises or low blood sugar. In such cases, please do not overexert yourself, stop fasting, and proceed at your own risk.
• Individual responses to the herbal drinks vary. If you find it difficult to drink an entire bottle, please drink within a comfortable range. If you finish one bottle and still need more hydration, feel free to consume your preferred herbal tea or water.
• Warming the herbal drinks before consumption enhances their effectiveness. Using a microwave is not an issue, so please warm them and enjoy them in a relaxed state.
• During fasting, there are generally no specific contraindications, but please engage in activities within a comfortable range, according to your physical condition. Avoid excessively strenuous exercise or strong stress; instead, spend your time in a relaxed state, such as listening to music or taking a walk.
• The purpose of fasting is to primarily abstain from solid foods and allow the digestive organs to rest.
  If it becomes difficult to continue, or if you experience physical or mental discomfort, do not push yourself and consume easily digestible foods (e.g., thin rice porridge, miso soup without solids, cold-pressed juice).
• When the digestive organs rest during fasting, the body's cleansing effect is enhanced.
  To maximize the effects, choose natural, additive-free, and safe foods during fasting, avoiding processed foods or those with many additives.
• If you have any herbal drinks left after completing the fasting period, warm them up and enjoy them as herbal tea at your preferred time. They can be stored in the refrigerator for approximately 2 weeks.
• If you experience any concerning symptoms during fasting, please do not hesitate to consult our staff or herbal doctor. (066-113-4025)

Voices of Group Fasting Participants

To conclude
I experienced detoxification, weight loss, and body constitution improvement, all through fasting.

Numerically speaking, my weight, which was 74 kg, decreased to 70 kg in 3 days, and I completed the entire program without any health issues. After that, there was no significant rebound, my bowel movements and overall health were good, and I especially feel that my skin quality improved.

I believe anyone who hasn't tried it or was interested wouldn't regret giving it a try.
With advisors and trainers supporting you, and with the help of those around you, you can do it without difficulty and enjoyably!

To conclude: It's harmless and brings a hundred benefits. Just do it.
*But don't overdo it.

Basically, when I try to do "no food at all" or "mini-fasting" by myself, I can only last about 18 hours. Please try group fasting.
Psychologically, being in a group increases the chances of success.

This time, I was introduced and participated.
Due to my job, I often eat out, and since I love rice, I ask "Google Sensei" about "diet" once a month.
Naturally, "carb restriction," "fasting/mini-fasting," and "aerobic exercise" always rank high, so I've had fasting experience before.
What I was glad about was that my weight dropped, even temporarily, and I realized how unhealthy my eating habits had been.
Being in a group made the "feeling of doing it" about three times more impactful.
For me, not eating for 3 days was perfectly fine. What wasn't fine was the recovery meal from day 4. It wasn't painful, but I kept hearing "You can eat fried rice now, right?" in my ear and had to endure it, haha.
After it was over, I felt my stomach flatten and the dopamine from accomplishing it was overflowing, and surprisingly, I couldn't eat fried rice.

What I felt good about participating was, of course, the detoxification effect within my body, but also realizing how much stress, invisible to me, daily meal planning and cooking had been.

And I got three days when I didn't have to cook.

I was able to use that time just for myself, and gain a detoxification effect for both my mind and body.

Ms. Pukuko, a famous influencer in Bangkok, also took on the fasting challenge.

Her impressions after participating are detailed on the website below.
