Spring Cleaning - Clean your body every spring... - SPRING CLEANING
Spring is the traditional time for cleaning and setting
things in order; time to go through and throw
out. Our homes and yards are ready for a thorough
cleaning, airing out and rejuvenating. And so it is
with the body. Spring is a great time to cleanse the
body of toxic material that has accumulated throughout
the winter months.
Most people suffer from an accumulation of toxins
from time to time. It is not uncommon because of the
environment in which we live. There are contaminants
in the air, water and food. The body’s own natural
functions also causes a degree of toxicity.
Excessive amounts of certain hormones can be a problem.
Toxicity can impair the body’s ability to function
efficiently. This can lead to different physical problems
and disease.
There are ways to know if the body is in need of
detoxifying. Most individuals will suffer from some of
these occasionally. Some of the signs of toxic overload
include: fatigue, illness, constipation, gas, skin problems,
nausea, PMS, depression, and poor circulation.
There are ways to rid the body of toxins such as
cleansing or detoxifying. Detoxification involves a
change in the diet and health habits to promote body
purification allowing for the channels of elimination
get rid of toxic waste. A cleansing diet may help along
with herbal and nutritional support.

HERBS FOR HEALTHY SKIN
The skin is actually the largest organ of he body
and the largest channel of elimination. The health of
the skin is dependent on the health of the other organs in the body. If they are running efficiently, the
skin will be healthy. When the body is overloaded
with toxins the liver, kidneys and gastrointestinal system
cannot process and eliminate them fast enough.
This puts excess burden on the skin which may lead
to conditions such as acne, psoriasis, boils or rashes.
Red Clover
Red clover is a great blood detoxifier allowing for
healthy skin. It is often recommended for cleansing
programs.
Yellow Dock
Yellow dock has been found to be a good alterative,
especially for chronic skin problems. It is useful for
leprosy, psoriasis and cancer. Modern herbalists recommend
yellow dock for anemia, as a blood purifier,
liver congestion, and skin problems. It is also considered
beneficial for toxemia, infections, lymph congestion,
ulcers and wounds. It is considered one of the
best blood builders in the herbal kingdom.
Burdock
Burdock is valued highly in the plant kingdom. It
is used to purify the blood and strengthen the liver,
kidneys, stomach and lungs. It contains volatile oils
which are known to help clear the kidneys of excess
wastes and uric acid, and burdock is used as a diuretic.
It is used for skin problems such as acne, boils, psoriasis,
and canker sores.
...HERBS FOR A HEALTHY LIVER
The liver is extremely important in ridding the
body of toxins. It is the key channel of elimination.
Good health is impossible without adequate liver
function. It is one of the most important organs in the
body and often is not considered when it comes to
health. The liver cannot function if digestion is poor
or the colon is congested. Everything the enters the
liver must be detoxified.
Everything we breathe, eat and absorb through the
skin is refined in the liver; it becomes overburdened
when too much is required. The liver is required to
detoxify at a much higher rate than ever before. The
exposure to toxins has increased rapidly over the years.
The liver works by using enzymes to break down
toxic material. The liver then converts the material
from a fat soluble form to a water soluble form to be
eliminated through the kidneys.
Milk Thistle
Milk thistle has a complex of compounds known
as silymarin. These substances are actually known to
protect the liver against some toxins and help increase
the function of this important organ. Silybin found in
this herb is used as an antidote to the deadly deathcap
mushroom which is known to destroy liver cells. It
also contains amines (thyramine and histamine)
which are known to help stimulate the production
and flow of bile. Milk thistle has been proven to be
very beneficial on liver function.
Studies done recently indicate that milk thistle is
beneficial for severe liver disorders such as hepatitis
and cirrhosis, as well as general liver restoration, protection
and strengthening. The properties of milk thistle have been confirmed in animal studies to be a
protection in liver disorders.
Turmeric
Turmeric has been found to contain liver protective
properties similar to the glycyrrhizin found in
licorice. This ability may be due to its powerful
antioxidant activity. It also has been found to increase
enzymes in the liver to pre vent inflammation.
T ...HERBS FOR HEALTHY KIDNEYS
The kidneys are another important filtering system
for the body. Large quantities of blood pass through
the body eliminating toxins in urine. They help the
body maintain a constant and healthy environment
by adjusting the body’s electrolyte balance, manufacturing
hormones that regulate blood pressure, controlling
calcium metabolism and aiding in the production
of red blood cells. Keeping the kidneys
healthy is essential for a healthy body.
Parsley
Parsley is a powerful diuretic often used to treat
kidney conditions. It inhibits the reabsorption of salt
by body tissues increasing the diuretic activity of the
kidneys. It helps to increase and improve urination
allowing for toxins to be removed through the kidneys.
One of the components found in parsley seeds is
an ingredient used in a drug to treat urinary tract
infections.
Yarrow
A volatile oil in yarrow known as azulene and related
compounds have been shown in studies to have
anti-inflammatory properties which may help relieve
urination problems. It also helps regulate and
improve the function of the liver.
Dandelion
Dandelion is a natural diuretic and contains a high
potassium content. This helps the body replenish and
stabilize potassium levels as they are depleted with
many diuretics. It can be used to relieve water retention.
Dandelion gently increases the urine flow while keeping the potassium and electrolytes in balance.
Studies in humans have shown that the rhizomes and
roots increases the flow of bile which is beneficial for
liver disorders, gallstones, jaundice, and the bile duct.
Bitter substances found in dandelion root have been
found to encourage the release of toxins.
Kelp
Kelp has been found to protect the body from the
absorption of toxic chemicals. Sodium alginate found
in kelp protects the body from radiation exposure and
heavy metal toxicity. It helps the body remove toxic
waste.
...HERBS FOR LYMPHATIC AND BLOOD HEALTH
The lymphatic system is involved in collecting and
removing toxic material from the body’s connective
tissue and delivering it to the lymph nodes. This
allows for the immune system to function and break
down offensive invaders. If the lymphatic system is
not functioning properly, the immune system can be
hindered in its activity.
The lymphatic system carries the lymph, a nearly
clear fluid containing proteins, wastes, and other elements.
Lymph comes from the interstitial fluid that
surrounds the cells of the body, and brings them nourishment
and removes wastes. The lymph travels in the
lymphatic vessels, which lie right next to the blood
vessels and eventually connect back to major veins.
Red Clover
It has been used traditionally on the blood, liver,
lymphatic system, nerves and lungs. Herbalists consider
it to be a blood cleanser and recommend this
mild herb in formulas when using a cleansing program.
The blood is important because of its job of
carrying nutrients and oxygen through the red blood
cells to the vital organs and tissue in the body.
Red Root
Red root has traditionally been used as a cleansing
herb. It may work to help expedite the transfer of
waste material from the lymph to the liver. It helps the
liver to perform its vital function. It is often recommended
by herbalists as a lymph cleanser.
Echinacea
Modern research has found echinacea to be an
effective alterative and blood purifier. Extracts of echinacea
root have been found to contain interferon-like
properties. Interferon is produced naturally in the
body to prevent viral infections.
Echinacea is used for many different ailments and
as a blood purifier. It is known to fight chemical toxic
poisoning in the body. It has been used as a treatment
for candida yeast infections and also has the ability to
kill fungus.
Echinacea is known to stabilize the white blood
cell count in the body. It contains antivi ...CLEANSING DIET
*A few days or weeks before beginning a cleansing
diet, it is a good idea to eat only whole grains, fresh
fruits and vegetables to prepare the body.
*Eliminate all processed foods, coffee, tea, sugar, alcohol,
tobacco and red meat.
*Add some of the cleansing herbs, combinations of herbs or cleansing herbal teas.
A cleansing diet could consist of the following:
*Herbs to aid the cleansing
*First day eat fruit such as apples, berries, watermelon,
pears, cherries and apricots. Do not eat
bananas.
*Second day drink all the herbal teas you want. Some suggestions are chamomile, raspberry, spearmint,
hyssop, pau d’arco, and red clover blends.
*Third day eat all the vegetables you want. Eat them
raw or steamed.
*Fourth day make a pan of vegetable broth using cauliflower,
cabbage, onion, green pepper, parsley or
whatever is on hand. Season with natural or vegetable
salt. ...MORE RESEARCH ON FEVERFEW
Studies have been ongoing as to the benefits of
feverfew in relieving migraine pain since the 1970’s.
The latest clinical study confirms the beneficial effects
of feverfew. Researchers in Israel reported on a clinical
trial involving 57 individuals, none of which had ever
tried feverfew. Half of the group were given the feverfew
supplement while the others a placebo. Those taking
the feverfew reported a significant reduction in
migraine pain and accompanying symptoms such as
sensitivity to light, vomiting and nausea. The treatment
was switched during the study giving the placebo
group the feverfew supplements. Again, the group
taking the feverfew had a reduction in migraines (D.
Palevitch, G. Earon and R. Carasso. “Feverfew as a
prophylactic treatment for migraine: A double-blinded
placebo-controlled study.” Phytotherapy Research,
1997, 11 (7): 506-11).
EXERCISE MAY PREVENT DIABETES
Exercise is important for health and prevention of
illness. One study lead by Michael Brown of the
Un i versity of Pittsburgh followed 12 overweight
women who had a condition which often leads to diabetes.
Exercise has been thought to help prevent diabetes,
but just how much was necessary has not been
determined. Exercise such as brisk walking practiced
for 30 minutes for at least four days a week is thought
to help.
In a related study reported by CNN March, 4, 1998, walking was found to help improve insulin sensitivity.
Elizabeth Mayer-Davie of the University of
South Carolina reported the result of her research.
The study published in the Journal of the American
Medical Association followed 1,400 women between
the ages of 40 to 69. Some had normal blood sugar
levels and others had a mild form of diabetes. Those
who exercised moderately and regularly were less likely
to have impaired insulin-using capacity which is
involved with diabetes.
