Herbs for Detoxification & Body Cleansing

Environmental toxins, secondary smoke inhalation, alcohol, prescription and pleasure drug abuse, "hidden" chemicals and pollutants in many food that cause allergies and addictions, caffeine overload, and increased daily stress are all becoming more and more a part of our lives. These things greatly deplete the body and immune system. Poor immunity eventually results in debilitating disease. This has become the prime factor in allowing today's "civilization" diseases, such and Candida Albicans, Chronic Fatigue Syndrome, Lupus, AIDS and ARC, HPV, etc to take hold.

In the past, detoxification was used either clinically, for recovering alcoholics and drug addicts, or individually, as a once-a-year mild "spring cleaning" for health maintenance. Today detoxification is becoming necessary not only to health, but for the quality of our lives, since we are surrounded by so much involuntary toxicity. Optimally, one should detoxify two or three times a year to prevent disease and encourage health; in the Spring, Summer or early Fall, when the body can get an extra boost in this effort from sunlight and natural Vitamin D.

A good cleansing program should be in three stages: CLEANSING, REBUILDING, MAINTAINING. Herbs in their abundance of diversity, and the specific nature of their activity are optimally suited to these tasks.

Formulas for detoxification and blood cleansing are also effective in the following circumstances and conditions:

ALCOHOL & DRUG ABUSE - NICOTINE ADDICTION & WITHDRAWAL - LIVER & SPLEEN DISEASE - BACTERIAL INFECTION - ENVIRONMENTAL POLLUTANTS & HEAVY METAL POISONING - STAPH & STREP INFECTION - KIDNEY STONES & KIDNEY INFECTION - ECZEMA & PSORIASIS - HERPES - MENINGITIS & RHEUMATIC FEVER - HEPATITIS - ACNE & DERMATITIS - MONONUCLEOSIS - MALIGNANT TUMORS - WARTS, TUMORS, ABSCESSES & CYSTS - HPV VIRUS, AIDS & ARC - EPILEPSY - HYPOGLYCEMIA - INTERNAL PARASITES & WORMS

Areas of emphasis to be considered for formulation should include:
1) herbs for (a) blood purification, (b) mucous and (c) bowel cleansing;
2) herbs for rebuilding liver, organ and glandular health;
3) herbs for long term rebuilding and maintenance.
