Stress, medications, pesticides, pollution, our diet (which contain a lot of processed food) and our busy lifestyle are just some of the things that add to the toxins that work to destroy our digestion and our health. That is why there are health tools such as the whole body cleanse.
For countless years now, people have been known to use whole body cleanse in an effort to rid the body of harmful wastes and toxin and to also improve the body’s digestive processes.
There are a number of whole body cleanse products in the market and most of these make use of herbs that are known for their cleansing and purifying abilities. With a cleansed body that is free from toxins, you enjoy the benefits not just of physical wellbeing, but also emotional well-being as well.
A whole body cleanse system is usually made up of ingredients that target the organs that are primarily responsible for detoxifying the body. These organs include the blood, the lymph, the intestines, the kidney, the liver and the colon. When these are cleansed, they are able to work faster, enabling supplements and herbs to have a more immediate effect as the body has an increased ability to absorb nutrients. In addition, you will enjoy a marked increase in your energy levels and also maintain a more healthy weight and even suppress your food cravings. By cleansing your whole body, you can also improve your fertility by eliminating toxins that are part of the root cause of reproductive problems.
If you want to go about it the natural way, here are some key ingredients you can look for in a whole body cleanse product:
Milk thistle. This contains silymarin, which supports the health of the liver, by getting rid of free radicals, old blood cells, foreign matter and bacteria. Silymarin also promotes the production of glutathione, which is another substance that helps in detoxifying the body the healthy way.
Licorice extract. With this substance, your bile has a healthier flow. It also stimulates the production of the body’s natural protective substances in the gastrointestinal tract, as well as effective prostaglandin metabolism.
Dandelion. This substance also promotes your gallbladder’s bile flow.
Artichoke extract. This also promotes the health of your gastrointestinal system.
Psyllium husk or psyllium fiber. This acts as nature’s broom by helping to bind the toxins and flush it out of your system. It is a potent source of soluble fiber and promotes easier cleansing and elimination. It is known to absorb close to 15 times its weight in water and then helps the body flush out what it absorbs. Psyllium also promotes the health of your endocrine, cardiovascular and immune systems.
Pectin. This is another soluble fiber that also eases constipation and diarrhea problems and normalizes bowel function.
Magnesium Hydroxide. This is a laxative that helps to cleanse the system. It helps promote peristalsis by causing fecal matter to swell and soften. With this, you will experience increased stool volume and water, as well as an increase in the number of bowel movements in a day.
Burdock. The root of burdock promotes your organ’s detoxification – it effectively cleanses the intestines, kidneys and liver. With it you also enjoy a healthy blood flow.
Other ingredients you should look into include marshmallow root (which supports colon health), slippery elm bark extracts (which makes for an excellent colon cleanser) and fenugreek seeds (which is also fiber rich and good for your gastrointestinal health). Other ingredients that are also effective cleansing agents are red clover, ginger, fennel, and peppermint.
These are mostly natural ingredients that effectively promote your body’s health by removing the toxins that work to damage your body. A whole body cleanse usually requires several days or even up to two weeks. This will allow your system to rid itself of toxins, as well as strengthen the body and provide a wall that prevents toxins from doing more damage.
There are also some side effects that you may expect to experience while doing a whole body cleanse. You may feel some discomfort for a couple of hours as the key ingredients work to cleanse the system of toxins. You may also experience slight dizziness or headaches, gas, itching, diarrhea and joint pain. If you experience rectal bleeding or cannot have a bowel movement after you take the laxatives, this may be an indication that you have a serious health problem. You should consult your doctor immediately.
Be sure to consult your doctor about this, as you may have allergies or negative reactions to some of the ingredients or you may be taking prescription drugs that may counteract with these. You are also advised not to undergo a whole body cleanse if you are pregnant or breastfeeding. In addition, remember to drink plenty of water while you are undergoing detoxification.
With a whole body cleanse using natural ingredients, you can enjoy a healthier, longer and toxin-free life! You feel more energized, cleaner and lighter, without toxins wearing you down and wearing you out. You are now well on your way to improved health!
