Workshop: Spring Detox – Purge

HERBAL PURGES

We can choose a number of different methods for purging, including ingesting drinks, eating metabolising foods, doing some vigorous exercises and sweating or fasting (plus using colonics kits with Coffee enemas). There are slow ways and fast ways to purge the body of stored waste and reduce excess fat deposits. Some listed below.

Fast Herbs
The Bebida Dietica Dieters Drink – available to purchase online here – is a fast way to purge the body, by activating bowl movements. Usually, consumed before bed, the first toilet break of the morning will begin a purging process. It's advisable to have time at home and privacy, as this process can be an inconvenience and not something to do in company!

The main activating ingredients are as follows:

Senna – This is the main ingredient that is responsible for weight loss process to keep you slim
Chinese mallow – Claimed to aid with reduction of constipation
Green tea – It leads to burning of stored fats

In combination, these herbs definitely do work for purging the digestive system. Perhaps best to only use one method at a time – so, while on a herbal parasite cleanse or a liver purge, it may not be required for extra purging – these teas are quite strong and do the job on their own merits!

Herbal Medicines
Herbal treatments for liver purging, kidney cleansing, blood purifying and brain fog removing, can all be obtained through a good herbalist (loose fresh or dried), through health food shops (usually packaged) and one book that really helped to identify which herbs worked together (adaptogenic herbs) and which to avoid using at the same time – is a nice book by Ann Boner. Available on resale from various sources such as Amazon here.

Chinese Herbs
Exotic herbs from other countries such as South America and Africa, can also be really effective although maybe not so easy to source in other parts of the UK. Chinese herbs can be sourced from Asian supermarkets (China Town in London), or through a Chinese Doctor. I've had great success using Chinese doctors and herbal remedies before, to heal very bad skin issues around the nose, under the arms and in the groin – places where our waste gets excreted through the skin and a sign of toxicity (likely liver related).

There are various places around London and other towns or Amazon and other bulk order online shops now stock pretty much anything.

Slow Herbs

An easy and enjoyable way to ingest herbs for purges and cleanses over longer and more gentle time frames, is through infusions – via drinking herbal teas – and a simple filter that fits in a cup, making teas with fresh and dried herbs (not in a packet), allows for the added benefits and convenience of getting the best products from the best sources.

We can activate quick-release purges and set a lifestyle maintenance program in motion for slow-release purges. Everything is in our grasp and all of these techniques will aid in keeping us in balance for optimum health.
