Cleansing is killing parasites, cleaning out the circulatory system for
better health of the heart, or boosting
the immune system and decreasing allergy symptoms.
The liver, one of the primary organs involved
in the storage of unused materials like toxins becomes one of the main focus of the whole body cleanse along with the colon.
There are two major “classes” of physical whole body cleanse: Dietary Cleanses and Cleanses with supplements.
The dietary cleanse uses natural anti toxins and natural enzymes in
foods (normally raw foods) because this vital ingredient enables cells
to function, and also aids in our digestion.
Every whole body
cleanse is different. Some focus on weight loss, others on the toxins
in the body. A whole body cleanse can take days, others weeks or
months.
Why Use a Supplement to Cleanse?
Dietary
cleanses are generally gentler than cleanses that require supplements. But
supplement cleanses can make all the difference for those who are too busy or
don’t wish to overhaul their diet. Most supplement cleanses involve only
minimal changes to the diet, and are still effective while you eat whatever
food is normal for you.
Types of Supplements That Help a Whole Body Cleanse
- Enzymes
- Fiber
- Juice Supplements
- Herbs
The Power of Enzymes
Raw food has its emphasis on consuming foods that
contain live enzymes, which are damaged at cooking temperatures. Enzymes are
needed to break down food and to process toxins.
People with arthritis, chronic pain or stiffness can benefit from taking
more enzymes – whether in their food or by taking an enzyme supplement. Enzymes
taken between meals (several hours away from food) break down accumulated
toxins that contribute to inflammation or pain. Enzymes taken with meals
improve digestion and aid in a whole body cleanse of the digestive tract.
Fabulous Fiber
Fiber is a form of carbohydrate that the human body is not able to digest
for energy. As such, it passes through the human digestive tract unchanged.
Insoluble fiber, such as that found in most kinds of bran and in psyllium
husks, acts as bulk and encourages the colon to move - flushing out by-products
of metabolism and old toxins that are released during a whole body cleanse. Apples are
high in pectin and other fiber, explaining the proverbial “an apple a day keeps
the doctor away.”
Juice Supplements
Vegetable juices are one of the most simple and natural ways to do a whole body cleanse of the
inside of the body, helping to draw out toxins while supplying minerals, antioxidants
and vitamins.
Most packaged juices, however, do not contain the vital energy or the total
nutrients that are available in fresh juices. Packaged and bottled juices may
be pasteurized or contain preservatives, increasing acidity and robbing them of
nutritional value and of their value in a cleanse. Read labels closely for the
addition of “junk juices” like grape, apple, or pear that add very little in
the way of nutrients and whose only function is to sweeten the juice.
Herbs
Most herbs and spices support the immune system and promote health. Several
are useful in a whole body cleanse.
- garlic -
parasite cleanse. In pets, garlic taken internally discourages fleas as
well as worms and other digestive parasites.
- cilantro -
chelates (draws out) heavy metals
- peppermint,
ginger, cinnamon, fennel, anise, cardamom, cayenne - these herbs
and spices cleanse the digestive
system, speed metabolism and improve digestive function
- milk thistle -
promotes liver cleansing
This is not an exhaustive list: hundreds of other herbs and herbal formulas
may be useful in whole body cleanse. Herbs can be very helpful in enabling the liver and
other tissues to release stored wastes. Be aware, however, that some herbal
formulas may contain ingredients that, however “natural,” are not safe and may
cause illness or contribute to cleansing
reactions. Please consult with an expert before using any herbal
supplements for your whole body cleanse.
How Often Should We Whole Body Cleanse?
It is often
recommended to do a fast or cleanse of one kind or
another at least two or three times a year. Some people prefer to whole
body cleanse continuously, by conscious attention to the content and
acid-alkali balance of their diet or by using supplements.
How Will I Feel During a Whole Body Cleanse?
Most people feel dramatically better, lighter, and happier during
and after cleanse. Some people, on the other hand, find that a whole body cleanse
releases more than physical toxins: it also results in an emotional cleanse.
It is not uncommon to experience bouts of anger, sadness, or other
strong emotions during cleansing, while toxic accumulation is in the
process of leaving your body.
What Should I Do for My First Whole Body Cleanse?
Anyone who is beginning a cleanse for their first time should bear in mind three principles:
- Start small.
- Pay attention to your body’s responses once you start.
- Seek expert advice.
