Internal Herbal Cleansing

Internal Herbal Cleansing
by Sarah Thomas

One can take herbs to cleanse the liver, kidneys, and other vital organs. The most
popular form of herbal cleansing however, is to clean the intestines. The purpose
behind herbal cleansing is to remove wastes and toxins from the body so cleansing
the intestines is the logical choice.

An efficiently functioning digestive tract will help support and nourish the body.
Properly formulated herbal supplements can assist the elimination of wastes and
improve the assimilation of nutrients in the body.

Many alternative health practitioners believe that ill health begins in the colon and the
first step in preventing and treating disease is to cleanse the digestive tract. Our
modern diet of heavily processed food along with sedentary lifestyles contributes to
the accumulation of waste products in the colon and a sluggish digestive system.

Herbal cleansing help restore the body to its normal state of being able to repair itself
and ward off disease. Some claim that herbal cleansing remedies can help rid the body
of parasites which could be responsible for a variety of diseases.

Another claim of herbal cleansing products is that the herbs help to loosen old material
in the intestines and allow it to pass out of the body. In addition, some herbs may
help to tone the bowels to allow them to function more normally to aid in the rapid
elimination of wastes.

There are actually many varieties of herbal supplements on the market today and the
function will depend upon which herbs are used in the product. You can easily find
herbal cleansing products at your local health food store. You can also shop for them
online where you will be assured of having access to a huge variety of products and
be able to research them and then compare prices before you buy.

When buying herbs it is important to buy quality standardized herbal preparations. It is
usually not a good idea to buy herbal supplements based on price alone. Stick with
well known and respected name brands and if you have any questions, consult your
physician or alternative healthcare provider for medical advice.

If you currently are on prescription medication or have an illness, it is particularly
important to talk with your doctor before adding herbal supplements to your diet as
some herbs may react with your medications.
