Cleansing Herbs and Supplements

Cleansing herbs and other natural supplements can enhance the healing power of your food-based detox. Your detox program doesn’t have to include expensive pills, powders and shakes to be effective. The simple, natural nutrients we recommend will kick start your detox and may be enough for now. Then when you are ready, you can choose to include the natural supplements and herbs listed below to enhance your detox or alleviate certain detox symptoms.

Nature provides what your body needs to thrive. For every ailment or imbalance you can experience there is a remedy in nature’s pharmacopoeia. Natural herbal remedies** heal your body, restore your organs and correct imbalances without leaving behind toxic residue. Most manmade medications are highly toxic and are designed to suppress symptoms rather than cure conditions.

Plants are Medicine

Culinary herbs and spices are used not simply as flavoring but also as powerful healing or protective components of food. Many traditional dishes include herbs to enhance digestion and metabolism (like ginger, cinnamon, cayenne, fennel, mint, cumin, and coriander). Cultures in tropical climates, where food born pathogens are most prevalent, heavily flavor their dishes with antimicrobial ingredients like garlic, cayenne, ginger and lime.

Support Your Organs and Reduce Detox Symptoms

Making an herbal detox tea from medicinal quality cleansing herbs is a great way to support your liver and kidneys so they can do their best work for you during your detox. Digestive herbs, natural digestive enzymes, and probiotics ensure complete digestion and elimination. If you need a little extra help eliminating use psyllium husk or flax meal to move things along. For every ailment or imbalance you encounter there is a natural solution available.

You may choose to use “make your own” herbal preparations** or to purchase commercial supplements. Look for supplements and herbal blends that are made directly from natural ingredients. When choosing supplements make sure they are 100% natural and contain NO synthetic additives or other unnecessary ingredients. For high quality, organic bulk herbs, shipped direct to your home, we recommend Mountain Rose Herbs.
