How do you flush cortisol out of your body?

From my experience, you can’t exactly “flush” cortisol like toxins through a juice cleanse—but you can help your body manage and lower it naturally. What worked best for me was a mix of: Hydrating first thing in the morning Using anti-inflammatory ingredients like ginger, turmeric, and lemon Prioritizing sleep and stress management Drinking herbal teas such as ashwagandha or holy basil consistently These support the body’s natural ability to rebalance cortisol, especially when done daily—not just for a weekend.
