Guava ginger juice Recipes

Guava ginger juice RecipesGuava is a natural laxative as it is high in fiber and can help you if you have digestive problems such as constipation. This unusual concoction is a powerhouse of vitamin C and fiber. Have it with your afternoon snack to complement a chat-pata dish. Remember to use fully ripe guava because they taste the best and you also need to add a little sugar to this drink so it makes more sense.

The Juicing Book

.  The Juicing Book
In The Juicing Book (1989) Stephen Blauer lists fruit juices for a variety of pains.
These charts are interesting, but in my experience Green Juices are the true healer. Drink lots of green juice and all your pain dissolves over time, emotional and mental too :)
Here's Stephen's advice on fruit juices (citrus = lemon, lime, orange):
  • Acne – papaya, strawberry
  • Aging (premature) – watermelon
  • Anemia – cherry, grape, citrus, prune
  • Arthritis – apple, cherry, watermelon
  • Asthma – cranberry
  • Bladder, urinary tract – cranberry, melon, pear
  • Bruises – grapefruit
  • Cancer, tumors – grape, papaya
  • Ear-ache – grapefruit, lemon, lime
  • Gall stones – cherry
  • Gout – apple, cherry, grape, citrus, pineapple, strawberry
  • Heart disease, high blood pressure – orange, papaya
  • Hemorrhoids – grape
  • Mucus membranes (including catarrh) – cherry, grape, grapefruit, citrus
  • Pain – strawberry, watermelon
  • Prostate disorders – cherry, pear, strawberry, watermelon
  • Thyroid gland – strawberry
  • Ulcers – papaya
  • Varicose veins – grapefruit

Papaya guava strawberries mix juice



1/2 papaya (peeled and seeded)
1 cup strawberries
1 guava (peeled and pitted)
Juice and serve - You can add yogurt or blend with ice to increase thickness.
