Cleansing with Chinese herbs
An interesting article about how traditional medicine from various cultures use herbs to cleanse your system:
According to Dr. Page, the traditional Chinese medicine practitioner reduces toxicity by using herbs that reduce inflammation, detoxify the blood or liver, and reduce and move phlegm. Then he or she looks to tonic herbs, such as ginsengs, to nourish and restore balance to the body. The driving force in traditional Chinese medicine is to achieve optimum health through lifestyle means before an illness occurs.
By using herbs, exercise, aromatherapy, heat therapy, and meditation, Chinese practitioners prevent illness and help their patients enjoy optimum health. An invaluable treasure of Chinese culture, tai chi chuan, is an exercise designed to release stress and promote relaxation. Incorporating this ancient discipline of meditative movements in a daily ritual will-according to those who practice it-stimulate the body’s internal cleansing system and aid in the body’s natural detoxification process.
Aromatherapy’s detoxification properties are reported to be endless. Marcel Lavabre, author of Aromatberapy Workbook, suggests drawing a bath and adding four drops grapefruit essential oil, three drops lemon oil, two drops juniper oil, two drops cypress oil, and one drop red thyme oil. Lavabre insists that this combination will strengthen the circulatory system and “fluidize” the blood.
