A hundred years ago, we didn't worry about pollution, pesticides in our food, or environmental contaminants. However, people were vulnerable to serious diseases, which, fortunately, modern medicine has since eliminated. Polio, diphtheria, malaria and tuberculosis are no longer a concern in modern American society. These ailments have now been replaced with more subtle threats, ones with effects which might not be detected for decades into the future. Accumulations of pesticides, hormones, antibiotics and food additives are unknown quantities, but it only makes sense that these substances are unhealthy. Cleansing your body, from the inside out is a good idea, flushing these potential toxins from your system.
While the daily shower refreshes you, all you accomplish is removing dead skin cells and, hopefully, a fresh and sweet smell. However, your insides remain the same. Here's how to do a thorough, cleansing your body ritual, that will pay dividends far into the future. You might think of this as a spring cleaning for the inside of your body.
The first step in cleansing your body entails a one day juice and water fast, also known as a cleansing fast. Do not eat anything that day, but drink plenty of water throughout the day. For breakfast, lunch and dinner, drink a glass of juice. Additional juice can be taken if you feel your energy flagging. This program allows your stomach to clean out, and sparks your digestive system to process and eliminate toxins. You're on your way! Always check with your doctor before you embark on a fast of any length.
Your second step in cleansing your body requires a trip to the health food store. There are a number of herbs which have remarkable cleansing effects on your organs, bloodstream and tissues. You can buy them in bottles of capsules, ready made, or buy the herbs in bulk, along with a bag of capsules to make them up yourself. When you make them yourself, it's very inexpensive. If you buy in bulk, buy each herb in powdered form. Here's what you'll need:
1.1 ounce of dandelion root: cleansing the liver is this root's reason to be! Many toxins can accumulate in the liver and dandelion root accelerates the process, helping your liver to thoroughly flush out any toxins. Taking two capsules, 3 times each day until the ounce is gone will have you feeling like a million dollars.
2.1 ounce of cranberry: this little berry is antiseptic to the kidneys and tones the tissues. Take 1 capsule, 3 times daily to get your kidneys in top form.
3.1 ounce of burdock root: this herb is essential when cleansing your body from the inside out. Burdock root flushes toxins from your bloodstream. Take 2 capsules, 3 times a day.
4.1 ounce of scotch broom: as the name implies, this herb acts like a broom to your digestive system, sweeping it clean of accumulated toxins. Two capsules, 3 times a day.
5.1 ounce of elecampane root: this herb is a little miracle worker for the respiratory system, cleaning out every little nook and cranny of the entire respiratory system. It's also a natural antibiotic. If you have a cold or cough, it'll be gone after this round of cleansing your body. 2-3 capsules, 3-4 times daily, depending on your condition.
6.1 ounce of echinacea root: although this is not strictly a cleansing herb, it is an important component of the cleansing your body ritual. This herb boosts your immune system response, which helps you fight off any bacteria or virus that comes your way. Take 2 capsules, 3 times daily. During this period, eat right! Lean meats and plenty of those fruits and veggies.
If this is more capsules than you care to take each day, you can do it all in stages. Choose one or two herbs and work through them until you're finished. By the time you complete the cleansing program, you'll be as clean as a whistle and should feel great!
