Some Importance Of Taking A Herbal Body Cleansing To One's Health

By Renee Willis


A detox, or herbal body cleansing, eliminates toxins and cleanses the blood. This is often necessary when the system becomes tired, run down and susceptible to illness. The primary excretory organs such as the liver, kidneys, lungs, lymph system and skin benefit from the active effects of natural herbs during detoxification.

Milk thistle is also called wild artichoke and is an effective liver tonic as it both heals and protects the liver from damage. The primary function of the liver is to purify the system and milk thistle increases the rate at which it produces proteins and enzymes, enabling it to eliminate toxins more quickly. Milk thistle should be taken at mealtimes.

Ginger root promotes the circulation of the blood in the human body. It also encourages the elimination of toxins through the skin during sweating. Tablets or capsules can be swallowed if ginger root is unavailable. Gallstone sufferers should not take excessive amounts of ginger as this might aggravate the condition.

Garlic is an immune-booster, and particularly useful when the immune system is compromised during herbal cleansing. It has natural antibiotic properties and has been used to cleanse the blood for centuries. Garlic lowers blood pressure and can thin the blood.

Aloe vera is very useful to aid the digestive system. It kills parasites, yeast, bacteria and viruses in the human body. It also has gentle laxative properties that allow the colon to cleanse itself. Aloe vera promotes detoxification of the liver and kidneys but should not be taken for extended periods. Aloe vera juice is the most effective for herbal cleansing.

Drinking a combination of psyllium husk and bentonite clay ensures a thorough colon cleanse. Psyllium husk comes from the seed of the plantain herb and, once swallowed, swells up in the colon, making toxins easier to eliminate. Bentonite clay enables built up toxins to be eliminated by the colon. Bentonite clay also enhances immunity during a detox period.

Herbal body cleansing is a natural way to improve energy levels and rid the system of poisonous and toxic substances which it has not been able to eliminate. It is best used in conjunction with a balanced and healthy diet which excludes alcohol, caffeine, refined sugar, dairy products and wheat. Detoxes should not be carried out for longer than ten to fourteen days and plenty of water should be consumed to speed up the elimination process.
