It is amazing how many toxins can be hiding in the body. Learn natural ways to eliminate these toxins and what herbs work to cleanse the body.

Why is Cleansing the Body Important?

In a healthy body, the contaminants that surround us every day can be removed through urine, the liver, kidneys and, of course, the skin. Once the organs that are designed to keep us healthy and free of the contaminants (such as radiation, toxic gasses, pesticides, etc.) have received all they can hold, the body begins to retain those contaminants. The adverse effects include, ADD, depression, and a series of medical problems such as asthma, cancer, arthritis and chronic fatigue syndrome. The drugs usually prescribed by physicians tend to have side effects which are often as bad as the disease. Herbal remedies and cleansers have no side effects and work every bit as well.

What are Common Herbs for Cleansing the Body?

For the digestive system carqueja, garlic, dandelion, burdock and fedegosa work very well. Picrorhiza, carqueja, fedegoso and milk thistle are best for the liver once it is diseased. For keeping a healthy liver in good working order, phyllanthus amarus and triphala are commonly used.

Fedegoso is useful for many things. As a tea it can clear up skin trouble and heal sores. Whether the problem is colic, a constipated baby or intestinal worms, fedegoso works very well to bring about a cure.

Phyllanthus amarus works against the cells that carry Hepatitis B. For diseases such as cirrhosis, fat deposits on the liver, bile duct and gall bladder inflammation, milk thistle is the favorite remedy among herbalists.

Burdock (Composit family) clears up acne, dry skin, rheumatism, arthritis and premature baldness. Allium savatim, also known as garlic, cleanses the blood of impurities as well as increasing the production of bile.

Used as compresses, teas and rinses, these natural herbs can cleanse away all the contaminants that attack us every day. Most herbs work well in combination with others to do different jobs. They all have healing and cleansing properties and have been used as valuable medicines for centuries.
