Q u i c k c l e a n s e d e - t o x p r o g r a m
( Duration
7 days)
This program is excellent in that
it provides a simple format with instructions to follow. The kit contains a
number of herbal products that work to detox the liver, stomach and large
intestine in conjunction with a sensible diet. (kit can be ordered through the
zen shop )
Some of these herbs include;
Cascara Sagrada Bark
Is one of the world's popular
medical herbs, cascara sagrada is a laxative of unparalled value. Cascara contains
chemicals called anthraquinones that stimulate bowel elimination. The herb also
works to restore bowel tone.
Black walnut Hulls
High in iodine, black walnut hulls
have value for any cleansing program because of their ability to kill intestinal
parasites.
Psyllium Hulls
Psyllium offers two key benefits
in a detoxification program. First,it provides bulk to help "scrub" the bowel
clean, and second, it prevents the absorption in the colon. Psyllium can provide
significant relief from constipation, haemorrhoids, irritable bowel syndrome, and
problems relating to poor elimination.
Ginger Root
Ginger is an antispasmodic that
soothes the intestinal tract. It also prevents nausea, relieves indigestion and
cramping in the intestine, and contains enzyme-type substances that help digest
proteins.
Rhubarb Root
Rhubarb has been popular for
centuries in China as a treatment for dysentery. Large amounts of rhubarb have a
powerful laxative effect, a quality useful for any detoxification program.
Wormwood
Many people today harbour
intestinal parasites which secrete toxins and rob the body of vitality. Cleansing
the body of parasites is an important part of any cleansing program. Wormwood is
one of nature's best parasite eliminators. It also stimulates the liver and
gallbladder.
Elecampagne
Elecampane helps the body expel
parasites, which are a root cause of many health problems including
fatigue, flatulence, bloating, and other digestive problems. It contains a chemical
called alantolactone that kills parasites, including pinworms and
giardia. Elecampagne can be taken alone or in combination with other herbs.
Goldenseal root
Goldenseal contains two
noteworthy chemicals, berberine and hydrastine, which kill many types of
bacteria, fungi, and protozoa, including those that cause
diarrhoea, dysentery, giardia and cholera. It also stimulates white blood cells, thereby boosting immunity.

IT IS IMPORTANT TO EXERCISE
REGULARLY!
Exercise stimulates the circulatory and lymphatic system, building muscles,
nerves, blood, glands, lungs, heart, brain, mind and mood. Blood is pumped
throughout the body by the heart, but lymphatic fluid depends solely on
exercise to be circulated. Lack of exercise lowers metabolic efficiency, and
without circulatory stimulation, the body's natural cleansing systems are
weakened. So please find at least 15-30 minutes a day to exercise. If you
want to live your life to the fullest, full of vitality, free of pain and
illness, you must simply commit to changing your lifestyle. Make that
commitment today, don't wait until tomorrow, start now, this second, this
instant!
