Best Herbs for Cleansing
ITS TIME FOR A CLEANSE!
This was the main topic around our home for the first part of this year. We chose Stanley Burrough’s Master Cleanse and started it after we emptied our fridge and cleared our social calendar of eating out. See http://healthandlight.com/TheMasterCleanse.pdf for more info.
What you will need:
-fresh lemon juice
-grade B maple syrup (this has the correct form of sugars for the cell and stops hunger)
-a dash of capsicum (high grade cayenne)
In every large glass of water (I like mine warm) went 2 Tbsp of juice, 1-2 Tbsp of syrup, and a dash of capsicum. It tastes GREAT. We ingested this every 1-2 hours for a whole week. We allowed ourselves 3 servings total of vegetable or miso broth for a treat that week. The second week, we had one healthy, small, vegetarian meal a day and continued the cleanse.
We both lost weight easily and felt energized and NOT TOO HUNGRY.
Stan Burroughs has used this cleanse to heal ulcers, lower high blood pressure, flush out toxins and cleanse the lymph as well as dissolve calcifications in the joints. It is recommended for 10 days with no added food for best results. Our friends tried this with us and so did our son-in-law who dropped 10 pounds in the first 3 days. Our friend Bob dropped 15 pounds his first week.
Its time to say goodbye to toxins stored in fatty tissue, the liver, kidneys, and other organs. It is not recommended to use vitamins during this program, but we used fiber and some basic herbs throughout as our personal option.
HERB OF THE MONTH: CAPSICUM
PROPERTIES: CIRCULATION, DIGESTANT, STIMULANT, TONIC
Capsicum is a member of the pepper family. It is a favorite of herbalists for assisting the body with normalizing circulation, healing of stomach ulcers, clearing congestion, colds, promoting warmth and energy in the body, feeding the heart and circulation, normalizing high and low blood pressure, aiding elasticity of the veins, control of bleeding and acceleration of healing, joint and respiratory health.
Dose Range: 1-6 daily
We also recommend capsicum in the shaker form, as well as Vita-Lemon - a lemon drink mix full of fiber that we also recommend for this cleanse or as a cleanse on its own.
Enjoy and be well!
