The Benefits of an Herbal Cleanse
Posted by admin on Feb 26, 2010
Fifteen years ago I tried my first herbal cleanse. I had done quite a few fasts and cleanses, but I had never experience anything close to the results I achieved with an herbal cleanse program. There are many ways to get results, but there are three key elements to a good program.
1. You need herbs to soften the mucoid plaque that has accumulated in your intestines over the years.
2.Taking psyillium husk powder scours the intestinal track as it expands 8 times it’s size in water.
3.Bentonite clay can absorb up to 180 times it’s weight in toxins
By choosing to do an Herbal Cleanse Program you are giving your body the opportunity to experience greater health and vibrancy.
The small intestine and colon absorb over 90% of the nutrients from the food we eat. Most people think this occurs in the stomach, but the stomach just starts to break down the food for the intestines. The small intestine has over 3500 small hairs called ‘villi’ that move and absorb the small food particles an nutrients. Over the years undigested food accumulates on the sides of the colon. It actually sticks to the sides inhibiting the villa and the absorption of the nutrients. The undigested food is called mucoid plaque and after years and years of accumulation it turns into something resembling tire rubber.
In order to receive the full nutritional benefits of the food we eat it is important to cleanse the intestinal tract thoroughly. An herbal cleanse contains herbs, which soften the mucoid plaque. There are also herbs, which assist the body’s natural eliminative functions enabling the body to release the accumulated plaque. A good herbal cleanse also contains herbs, which assist each of the body’s major organs to cleanse and restore themselves to proper balance. Herbs containing essential vitamins and minerals necessary during the process of cleansing are also an integral part of the cleanse.
Many who have done an herbal cleanse program are so impressed that it becomes an integral part of their health regime. Some choose to cleanse once a year, others may cleanse more often, striving towards their ideal of perfect health. Even if you choose to do a cleanse only once you are giving your body a wonderful gift, the chance to cleanse and purify.
