What does purifying the body mean? It means removing and eliminating that which is excess and not needed. This is a known practice that has been used since time began. It was initially practised by applying leeches to a person’s body…How disgusting, you’re probably thinking, right!
Over the years, fortunately, purification techniques have changed. Now, when we want to purify the body of impurities, such as toxins, fumes, pollutants and chemicals…the search starts with plant extracts.
A physiological purification system
We know that our bodies are perfect beings. The importance of effective purification is such as to require the presence of a purification system from birth that is able to keep our bodies healthy by removing substances that may accumulate over time.
This is synergistic work done by organs, called the emunctories:
- Liver
- Kidneys
- Intestine
- Skin
- Lungs
These 5 organs work together to collect that which is not needed and send it to the lymphatic system, to the body’s peripheral areas, until they are eliminated.
How to purify the body?
As always. However, for a system to function optimally, periodic maintenance must be done. Obviously, this is also valid for the organs of our purification system.
Liver, kidneys, skin, intestine…they all need to be supported in their action, in order to keep our bodies active. As mentioned previously, what better ally can there be than plants? Plant extracts can be obtained from these with an ad hoc action that supports each of these organs in the best way possible.
The 10 plant extracts that help purify the body
Artichokes with their antioxidant action play an important role against oxidative stress; what’s more, together with Common Purslane, they support hepatic functions. Cranberry and Orthosiphon are instead able to support the function of the urinary tract. But the power of nature doesn’t stop here! Burdock for the well-being of the skin, Dandelion for intestinal regularity, Nettle and Mouse-ear Hawkweed which promote the drainage of bodily liquids and Red Grape vine leaves for heavy legs. And in conclusion, Chlorella algae which, owing to its detoxifying action, helps eliminate toxic substances such as heavy metals.
So now you know the winning team for total purification.
