Fall into
Cleansing
The Basics, the Benefits, and the Best Cleanse for You
Ah, fall. It’s that time of year when the leaves are transformed into splashes
of vibrant color, when the weather outside becomes crisp and cool, and when every
cell in your body feels invigorated just by stepping out the front door. And what
better way to begin the season than with the rejuvenating power of a total-body
cleanse?
Nowadays our bodies are exposed to more harmful toxins than ever before. They are
in our air, our food and water, and even in the products we use every day to make
our lives more convenient—think chemical-laden soaps and household cleaners,
non-stick cookware, and flame-retardant carpets and upholstery.
Over time, those
toxins can build up in our cells and tissues and may lead to poor health and chronic
disease. The good news? One way to fight back is with regular internal cleansing.
Why Cleanse?
To rid itself of toxins, the body uses a combination of organs and organ systems
known as the seven channels of elimination. The lungs, liver, lymphatic
system, kidneys, skin, blood and bowel (or colon) work together to filter and eliminate
contaminants, but because of the increasing number of toxins to which our bodies
are exposed daily, our cleansing organs are often overwhelmed. Herbal cleansing
formulas provide the added support the body needs, and in addition to helping eliminate
toxins, the benefits of regular cleansing include weight loss,
a boost in energy, better brain function and memory, and an improvement in overall
health.
Choosing the Right Cleanse
Periodic cleansing, coupled with a daily maintenance program, is an essential part
of maintaining overall health. If you have never cleansed before, you may benefit
from beginning with a gentle, total-body cleanse formulated specifically for first-time
users. Such products generally contain whole herbs, which are milder than deep-cleansing
herbal extracts, as well as a blend of enzymes and nutrients to enhance digestion
and absorption. More often than not, first-time cleansing formulas will include
a gentle colon cleanse to support healthy elimination.
For experienced cleansers, an advanced total-body cleanse is often the next step
in the cleansing process. Advanced formulas will typically contain concentrated
herbal extracts in addition to whole herbs and minerals for a more potent, deep-acting
cleanse. They may last up to 30 days and are designed to support all seven channels
of elimination as well as promote bowel regularity.
Following a total-body cleanse, an enhanced cleansing formula is recommended to
provide targeted support to specific organs or areas of the body. For example, a
natural kidney cleanse formula may include herbs such as stinging nettle, corn silk,
parsley and dandelion to support healthy kidney, bladder and urinary tract function.
Likewise, a comprehensive liver cleanse will often contain a blend of liver-specific
herbs, antioxidants and amino acids to promote healthy liver detoxification.
Staying Healthy all Year Long
To support the cleansing process and promote vibrant health and energy throughout
the year, experts recommend daily supplementation with beneficial Omega oils, digestive
enzymes and high-potency probiotics. Increasing your fiber intake will also support
the cleansing process, as fiber works in the digestive tract to help absorb toxins
and eliminate them via the stool. In addition, many people benefit from using a
daily cleansing formula (either in capsule or liquid form) to enhance digestion,
increase energy and support overall health.
