Happy reading!
Centuries ago, the Cleansing had of itself as people followed the cycles of nature in their lifestyle. The Cleansing are usually in the spring, because of course, is the time of renewal, spring cleaning, but it's time for new green shoots and bitter that cleanse the body.
The Fall cleanups are well suited to prepare for winter. It is the harvest time or you can eat plenty of root vegetables and good fresh food plucked from the garden.
Over time, our way of life in industrialized we lose this contact with the earth, with the seasons and by extension, with these periods of purges. Today, our environment is much more polluted and the food is often processed and chemically treated. The Cleansing can do the greatest good and should be done once or twice a year, naturally, as did our ancestors.
The beneficial effects of treatment are manifold. Cures can be used simply to feel lighter, to purify the body for treatment for a particular problem or even to prepare for a possible pregnancy.
Treatments can help for the following issues:
-skin problems: acne, eczema, psoriasis, cellulitis, herpes zoster
-Digestive problems: bloating, constipation, indigestion, blurring vision, nausea, diarrhea, parasites, cholesterol, hypoglycemia, obesity, ulcers
-lack of energy, fatigue

-arthritis, osteoarthritis, muscle disorders, inflammation
etc.. ...
-Stages of detoxification
To make a complete cure, several steps are necessary. These steps can be done one after another or simultaneously. By cons, when doing the steps one after the other, we can note the different effects of cleaning and if they are connected to a particular organ. We therefore have a better idea of where the problem may come if there is one, and observe how each system reacts.
-intestines:
It goes without saying that if the elimination intestinal level is not adequate, detoxification can not do it properly. Therefore it is important to clean the bowel before starting treatment and ensure proper disposal throughout the cleanup. The removal is considered normal by about 1-3 bowel movements per day.
colon cleansing can begin 2-3 days before the start of treatment.
plants to clean the intestines:
-The emollient: psyllium, flax ground sheath, mallow (malva) Take plenty of water
-Laxatives: buckthorn, senna, rhubarb
1-2 tablespoons of flaxseed oil per day may be added and / or a supplement of probiotics. Daily, increasing fiber, adequate hydration and exercise, contributes to a good clean and lets have a normal bowel movement.
-liver:
The liver is an organ of the most important in our body. It performs over 100 functions. It degrades the filter wastes from the blood and digestive system, it stores vitamins and minerals and manages excess hormones. It also distributes trace elements and processes sugars and lipids. With the gallbladder, the liver produces bile which acts as an antiseptic that helps eliminate viruses, bacteria and parasites. Bile also helps emulsify the fat and alkaline foods digested by the stomach.
The liver is one of the first organs to be cleaned when a cure is step by step since the bodies filters should be fit to clean the blood. The liver is the organ often the most congested. It is therefore necessary to relieve first before moving on to next steps. Many symptoms of poor digestion disappear when cleaning the liver.

The thistle is a regenerating liver cells. It is used long term to help the weary livers. It can be used for several months following a course or as needed.
-kidneys:
The kidneys, like the liver, are the filters the blood. Therefore it is important to clean and tone during the Cleansing. The kidneys help to regulate blood pH and blood pressure. The kidneys also control the amount of water retained in the body, thus maintaining homeostasis of the organism. The liver and kidneys are involved in the activation of vitamin D.
kidney cleansing plant: nettle, dandelion, couch grass, goldenrod, horsetail, verrum cleavers, lovage, parsley, cranberry, buchu
-blood and lymph:
Blood brings nutrients throughout the body and organs. Hemoglobin carries oxygen and eliminates waste and CO2. Fungi such as candida albicans, parasites, viruses and bacteria decreases the activity of blood as they feed on it. By cleaning the blood and strengthens the walls of blood vessels and capillaries, we can therefore eliminate the invaders and effectively nourish every cell in the body.
The lymph liquid is composed almost entirely of water and circulates through the body via the lymphatic vessels. The lymph has no pump like the blood from the heart. We must move to the lymph circulation. The main role of lymph is to eliminate the body's metabolic waste. It also contains antibodies and is connected to the lymph. It therefore also immune function. It also helps regulate homeostasis.
