All About Raw Juice Therapy
Welcome to the world of Raw Juice Therapy, a transformative approach to healing and rejuvenating your body through the power of fruits and vegetables. Also known as juice fasting, this method offers a refreshing way to restore your health and vitality.
During Raw Juice Therapy, your body undergoes a natural detoxification process, enhancing the eliminative and cleansing capacity of organs such as the lungs, liver, kidneys, and skin. This results in the swift elimination of accumulated metabolic waste and toxins. Picture it as a rejuvenating cleanse for your entire system.
The beauty of this therapy lies in its ability to provide a much-needed rest to your digestive and assimilative organs. After a session of juice fasting, your body experiences improved digestion and enhanced nutrient utilization.
Contrary to traditional water fasting, an exclusive diet of raw fruit and vegetable juices leads to faster recovery from diseases and a more effective cleansing and regeneration of tissues. Renowned nutrition and biochemistry expert, Dr. Ragnar Berg, emphasizes the importance of alkaline-forming juices during fasting. According to him, these juices not only aid in the elimination of waste but also contribute to the overall healing effect of fasting.
The medicinal properties of these plant and fruit-derived juices are remarkable. Different juices offer specific benefits tailored to various conditions. Beyond their medicinal virtues, raw fruit and vegetable juices have an extraordinary revitalizing and rejuvenative effect on all organs, glands, and functions of the body.
Embark on this journey with us as we explore the wonders of Raw Juice Therapy, unlocking the secrets to a healthier, revitalized you. Get ready to discover the specific juices that can address your unique health needs and experience the transformative power of nature’s elixirs.

The magic of raw juices in treating diseases can be attributed to a few key reasons:
- Nutrient Powerhouse: Raw juices from fruits and vegetables are packed with vitamins, minerals, trace elements, enzymes, and natural sugars. These elements play a crucial role in normalizing body functions, providing essential components for the body’s healing and cell regeneration, ultimately speeding up recovery.
- Easy Absorption: The juices extracted from raw fruits and vegetables don’t need digestion; their vital nutrients are directly assimilated into the bloodstream. It’s like a fast track for all the good stuff to get where it’s needed.
- Alkaline Goodness: Raw juices are loaded with alkaline elements, which do wonders for balancing the acidity in the blood and tissues. This is especially beneficial since many health conditions involve an excess of acidity.
- Mineral Harmony: Rich in easily assimilable organic minerals like calcium, potassium, and silicon, raw juices contribute to restoring biochemical and mineral balance in tissues and cells. This helps prevent premature aging of cells and keeps diseases at bay.
- Natural Medicines: Raw juices aren’t just tasty; they also contain natural medicines, vegetal hormones, and antibiotics. String beans, for instance, reportedly have an insulin-like substance, while cucumber and onion juices provide hormones needed by the pancreas to produce insulin. Garlic, onions, radish, and tomatoes come packed with antibiotic substances, adding an extra layer of health benefits.
Let’s make understanding the precautions for adopting an exclusive raw juice diet easier:
- Fresh is Best: Always make your juices fresh right before drinking. Avoid canned and frozen juices. Having your own juicer is a good idea for extracting the freshest juices.
- Ripe and Organic: Use only fresh, ripe fruits and vegetables, preferably organically grown, for your juice therapy.
- Immediate Consumption: Extract only the amount of juice you plan to consume immediately. Raw juices lose their medicinal value quickly, even in the fridge.
- Quality Matters: The quality of your juices impacts the results. Incomplete extraction reduces their effectiveness as vital vitamins and enzymes are left behind in the fiber and pulp.
- Sweetness Control: If juices are too sweet, dilute them 50:50 with water or mix with less sweet juices, especially important for conditions like diabetes, hypoglycemia, arthritis, and high blood pressure.
Now, let’s explore the six main types of fruit and vegetable juices:
- Sweet fruits like prunes and grapes
- Sub-acid fruits like apple, plum, pear, peach, apricot, and cherry
- Acid fruits like orange, lemon, grapefruit, strawberry, and pineapple
- Vegetable fruits like tomato and cucumber
- Green leafy vegetables like cabbage, celery, lettuce, spinach, parsley, and watercress
- Root vegetables like beetroot, carrot, onion, potato, and radish
Consider the following rules when combining juices:
- Sweet fruits can be combined with sub-acid fruits but not with acid fruits, vegetable fruits, or vegetables.
- Sub-acid fruits can be combined with sweet or acid fruits but not with other juices.
- Acid fruits can be combined with sub-acid fruits or vegetable fruits but not with other juices.
- Vegetable fruits can be combined with acid fruits or green leafy vegetables but not with other juices.
- Green leafy vegetables can be combined with vegetable fruits or root vegetables but not with other juices.
- Root vegetables can be combined with green leafy vegetables but not with other juices.

When following raw juice therapy, it’s recommended to consume the prescribed juice every three hours, allowing for a total of five to six juice servings per day. Kickstart your day with a glass of water mixed with lemon juice and 20 to 30 grams of honey upon waking up. Following this, stick to the prescribed juice at three-hour intervals.
Start with 250 ml of juice on the first day, increasing the quantity by 50 ml each successive day until reaching 600 ml per serving. This juice regimen can be maintained for 30 to 40 days without any adverse effects. During this period, it’s crucial for the patient to prioritize adequate rest.
Raw juices play a crucial role as cleansing agents, immediately initiating the elimination of toxins and morbid matter from the system. This might lead to temporary symptoms such as abdominal pain, diarrhea, weight loss, headache, fever, weakness, sleeplessness, and bad breath. Importantly, these reactions are part of the cleansing process and should not be suppressed with drugs. They naturally cease as the body successfully expels all toxins.
Following the raw juice therapy, the return to a normal balanced diet should be gradual and staged. Begin by replacing two juice meals with milk and fruits. Then, progressively substitute juice meals with a well-rounded balanced diet. This thoughtful approach ensures a smooth transition back to regular eating habits.
