Shalini Passi's ‘detox powder’
Asked about a homemade recipe she swears by, Shalini Passi said, "Many actually. We prepare a lot of things and send them to people; we make a powder, which is a detox powder. I also make a lot of packs with walnut and cloves... the detox powder is a very simple mix of spices and it cleans your system. I send it to about 100 people or more, and everybody loves it... and my son is like 'Mom you cannot take these dabbis (tiny boxes) to parties'... so the detox powder is actually a mix of spices and then you can mix it in water with lemon juice and have it in the morning."
Shalini Passi hails ‘amazing’ kala naka
Additionally, she recommends using kala namak (black salt) mixed with water and lemon as a natural detox ‘to remove acidity, alkalize the body, and flush out toxins’.
Asked what her best go-to measure for detoxing is, Shalini said, “Kala namak. It is amazing guys, it's right here; you're going to spas everywhere... you are Indian, kala namak is the biggest detox you can actually have. Just you have to add it to water and lemon and ajwain (carom seeds) if you want. Just simple kala namak with lemon is the best detox. It removes acidity from the body, it alkalizes the body and it will remove all water detention; it's amazing.”
