Blood cleansing, to keep your heart, brain and other organs strong.

While the body has amazing ways to purify the blood and remove harmful toxins, it is sometimes recommended that we give the system a boost and help our body to perform better. Many organs in the body work hard to cleanse the blood of unwanted toxins and impurities like the Liver and Kidneys. Sometimes the work load is just too much for the body to cope with and these toxins begin to build up in our muscle tissue and blood.

Blood purification is necessary to make the blood clean to better transfer oxygen and other important nutrients to all parts of the body. Cleaner blood that has less toxins can more efficiently carry oxygen and other nutrients to the different organs to keep their functioning at its best.

When there are too much toxins in the blood and body, the vital organs start to deteriorate and you may start seeing symptoms such as fatigue, headaches, allergies, breathing problems, lower immune systems and many more health related problems.
The blood pumping through your veins is your lifeline and it distributes oxygen, nutrients, and hormones throughout the body, while removing waste and toxins from the body.

The body's main immune defenses are based in the blood where they protect us from illnesses and infections. The blood also carries the necessary proteins needed to seal of wound. Blood is vital to the body, and the health of your blood affects the health of your body functioning.

Hundreds of chemicals - ranging from gases such as carbon monoxide to toxic metals such as lead to natural substances such as fat - can find their way into the blood and impair its function. These foreign substances enter the body through the food we eat, the air we breathe, the water we drink, and surfaces with which we come in contact through our skin. Because these substances act on the blood in different ways, the adverse effects they produce may vary widely.

When doing the blood detox, many people report increased clarity and alertness already during the first couple of days of taking a blood cleansing product. While some improvement is usually evident early on, there are phases in which progress is more gradual. After two or three weeks, patients report the reduction in pain, increase in energy, and the improved digestion and elimination. Eventually, the skin starts look clearer and more radiant. By the end of the blood cleansing program, the people usually feel less irritable and angry. The long time benefits include reduced allergies and chemical sensitivities, longer life, and higher life quality.

The best juices for blood purification are Wheat grass juice, Barley Grass juice, lemon juice, beet juice, carrot juice, and the juices of all leafy greens. Leafy green juices are particularly important because they supply chlorophyll, an essential part of any blood purification therapy. Chlorophyll not only cleanses the blood of impurities, but also builds up the blood with important nutrients, promotes regularity, and inhibits cellular damage from radiation. This makes chlorophyll helpful in the treatment of many disorders. Wheatgrass, barley, and alfalfa juices are all very rich in chlorophyll.

Red Clover (Trifolium pratense). Great for skin problems. Make a strong tea and flavor with mint. To brew the tea use 1/2 cup of the dried flowers in three cups of hot water. Add a pinch of mint to it because otherwise it will taste bitter. Let it steep for around two hours. Reheat it and strain it. You can also use red clover for the nerves, swollen breasts during menstruation, congestion and bronchitis. Stay away from red clover if you are pregnant or taking an anticoagulant.

Plantain (plantago major, plantago lanceolate). If you have a lawn, chances are you know what this plant is. A good field guide will help you identify it. So instead of putting down weed killer, you may want to consider eating the leaves from this plant. It is rich in minerals and is also a blood-cleansing herb. The seeds (psyllium husks) are used as a bulk laxative as well.

It is also great topically for wounds and burns. Internally it can also help with skin problems, kidney problems, water retention, constipation (the seeds) and burns (when applied to the skin).
You can either eat the leaves fresh in salads or prepare a tea out of the dry or fresh herb. Plantain is generally safe but use it sparingly if you are pregnant.

Burdock Root (arctium lappa). This is another one of those herbs that is an effective blood cleanser. It works specifically on the skin and on the kidneys. Skin problems it helps with include eczema and psoriasis. You can also use it for urinary track infections and other bladder and kidney problems.

You can purchase the fresh root from health food stores and peel it and it to stir fries. (It's called Gobi in Japanese.) Or, make a decoction out of the dried root by adding three cups of water and two teaspoons of burdock root to a saucepan. Simmer until the liquid reduces by half.

Don't use burdock if you are pregnant or breast feeding. Otherwise, it is considered safe unless you have an allergy to it.

Chickweed (stellaria media). Chickweed grows as a weed. Pick it and put it in your salad. The flavor is mild and very similar to spinach. Eat chickweed several times a week.

This is also a good blood cleansing herb and helps the skin and other elimination organs such as the kidneys. If you decide to try it, make sure you identify it correctly. Or, you can purchase the dried herb from your favorite herbal supplier.
