Have you ever noticed that your sleep, digestion or mood feels different around the full moon? You're not alone. Many ancient cultures observed that the moon has a strong influence on our biology, and modern science is catching up with this age-old wisdom.
If I eat out a lot or travel, my gut often doesn't feel so great. Rich foods and treat meals can take their toll, but usually something more sinister is going on in the background.
This is especially true in summer, when I'm enjoying raw salads and dining out frequently. Restaurants do their best to wash food well, but in the rush, things can get missed, and that's when the eggs of parasites can sneak in. You become the perfect host.
So, after the holidays, take stock. If you've been back to your regular healthy routine for a week and your gut still feels off, there's a good chance you brought home more than just memories — you might have picked up a parasite.
If you're dealing with bloating, IBS, fatigue, or even skin issues, a gut reset could be just what your body needs.
At Rejuv Wellness, we've seen incredible results over the past 25 years using a protocol that aligns with the lunar cycle to support gut health. The Full Moon Cleanse is a natural way to help reset your gut microbiome, clear parasites and candida overgrowth, and restore energy and mental clarity.

Why Cleanse with the Moon?
During a full moon, your serotonin and melatonin levels shift. Serotonin rises while melatonin—the sleep hormone—decreases. This can affect your mood, hunger, and immune function. Interestingly, this same shift appears to stimulate parasite activity. Research suggests parasites are more active during the full moon, making it the ideal time to support your body in expelling them.
Increased parasite activity may contribute to:
- Bloating and sugar cravings
- Mood swings, brain fog or irritability
- Skin breakouts or itchiness
- Sleep disturbances or vivid dreams
By syncing your detox protocol with the full moon, you give your body a better chance to eliminate these hidden disruptors more effectively.
What is the Full Moon Cleanse Protocol?
Our Full Moon Cleanse is a five-day gut support protocol that begins two days before the full moon, peaks on the full moon, and continues for two days after. It's based on a blend of traditional herbs and natural compounds designed to help clear parasites, candida, unwanted bacteria, and biofilm.
This is not a harsh cleanse that leaves you depleted. Instead, it supports your natural detoxification pathways, gently encouraging your body to eliminate what it no longer needs.
The protocol includes:
- Anti-parasitic herbs such as wormwood, clove, black walnut and neem
- Biofilm disruptors to unmask hidden pathogens in the gut
- Liver and bowel support to assist the body's natural detox pathways
- Binders like activated charcoal or bentonite clay to carry toxins out of the body
This combination helps reduce symptoms, improve digestion and restore balance to the gut ecosystem.
Signs You May Benefit from a Full Moon Cleanse
Many people carry parasites or pathogenic bacteria without realising it. You may benefit from this protocol if you experience:
- Persistent bloating or irregular bowel movements
- Intense sugar or carbohydrate cravings
- Skin conditions like acne, eczema or hives
- Brain fog or trouble concentrating
- Grinding teeth at night
- Itching around the anus, especially at night
- Unexplained fatigue or mood swings
These symptoms can overlap with many conditions, so the Full Moon Cleanse is designed to be a safe, supportive first step in restoring gut balance.
How Often Should You Do It?
If it's your first time, we recommend doing the Full Moon Cleanse for at least three consecutive months. After that, many people continue to do it monthly for maintenance, particularly if they travel often, have pets, or live in warm, humid climates where parasites thrive.
Some clients pair this with seasonal detoxes or additional gut protocols, depending on their health goals.
Is There Any Scientific Backing?
While the idea of a full moon cleanse might sound esoteric, it's grounded in both traditional medicine and emerging research. Studies have shown that lunar cycles influence sleep, hormone levels, and immune responses. Several parasitology studies also show increased parasite activity during the complete moon phase, though more human research is still needed.
We don't claim that the full moon cleanse cures disease. But we've seen consistent results in our clinical work; clearer skin, better digestion, improved mood and mental focus, and fewer cravings.
Can I Do This While on Medication?
Yes, the Full Moon Cleanse can usually be done alongside most medications. However, if you're taking prescribed drugs, especially immunosuppressants or antidepressants, we recommend you speak with your GP or healthcare provider before starting any new supplement protocol.
We do not advise stopping or reducing any medication without medical supervision. The cleanse is designed to support—not replace—professional medical care.

Q: Why is a full moon the best time to do a parasite cleanse?
A: During the full moon, serotonin levels rise, making parasites more active and more vulnerable to removal. A lunar-aligned gut reset supports more effective detoxification.
