Did You Know Juicing is great too
A parsley and celery juice combination is a proven headache helper? A smoothie of papaya, peppermint, and fennel relieves indigestion faster than the top-selling antacid. A simple licorice tea can stop children's coughs. Cranberry juice neutralizes the bacteria that causes bladder infections. An enzyme in pineapple juice reduces swelling and inflammation of joints due to arthritis.
Anyone else have any information for people it would be great to post it here.
There are many cleanses out there, someone at one of my workshops recently said how ill she got when she did a cleanse sold by a leading high street chemist and when she looked into what was in it she then realised why. You have to be careful so here are some interesting details about cleanses.
GENERAL DETAILS ON CLEANSES
A Cleanse is a very effective herbal cleansing program which helps clear the body and promote better health. They can combined Chinese and Western herbs known to absorb toxins from the bowel, improve elimination, expel parasites and worms, detoxify the kidneys and liver, purify the blood and cleanse the entire body of cellular wastes.
A Cleanse is highly recommended for anyone beginning a herbal supplement program, before starting a fast or weight management regime or just a maintenance ‘spring cleaning’.
Doing a Cleanse is beneficial for acne, allergies, body odour, constipation, fatigue, gastrointestinal disorders, bloating, bad breath, headaches/migraines, hemorrhoids, skin conditions, inflammatory problems including arthritis, menstrual problems and weight gain.
What is in them that can help?
Black Walnut has antifungal and astringent properties. The active constituents in black walnut are responsible for the herb’s anti-parasitic and worm-killing effects. It has been used to expel a variety of intestinal parasites, worms, ringworm (fungal) and yeast.
Burdock is one of the primary detoxifying agents in both Chinese and Western herbalism. Burdock is especially useful for treating conditions related to chronic toxicity, as it stimulates elimination of wastes via the colon, kidneys and skin. It is also an excellent blood purifier and stimulates mucosal fluids while reducing toxins in the body. Burdock is a good source of viscous fibre, helping to absorb toxins from both the digestive and intestinal tracts. Burdock is also used to lower bowel transit time and balance intestinal flora. Research shows burdock also exhibits antibacterial and antifungal activity.
An intestinal stimulant or lower bowel cleansing formula is also good to have. It encourages the growth of beneficial bacteria, aids the manufacture of digestive enzymes and fluids, particularly bile (fat digestion). It also reduces abdominal cramping.
A herbal combination which helps cleanse the liver and renew healthy liver function. On an emotional level, LIV-C helps reduce anger, depression, fatigue, nervous tension, irritability and pent-up emotions. It promotes peristaltic action and elimination, relaxes muscle cramps and induces perspiration to cleanse toxins from the body.
Psyllium Hulls contain a high percentage of natural bulk fibre and act as a natural laxative. Psyllium swells in water to 8-14 times its dry volume and acts like a colon ‘broom’ cleansing the intestines and absorbing toxins that tend to adhere to the intestinal walls. Psyllium absorbs toxins produced by the overgrowth of yeast (candida) which many people are sensitive to.
Also good would be a unique combination designed to detoxify the body and strengthen the eliminative functions of the colon, kidneys and liver. Containing herbs which provide antiseptic, diuretic, laxative and muscle relaxing effects while also stimulating the immune system and the production of digestive fluids and enzymes. It also cleanse the glands and dissolves and inhibits the growth of foreign masses such as cysts and tumours.
Aim to avoid bread, alcohol, tea and coffee, chocolate & sugar, red meat and dairy
Aim to increase vegetables and fresh fruit, brown rice, white meat, fish and water
NOTE: Healing symptoms of headaches, cramping, bad breath etc may be experienced – these are only temporary and are an indication that the cleanse is working and excessive wastes are being eliminated.
