Cleaning the outside of the body is something that most people do on a regular basis.
When it comes to cleansing our internal body, it is not something everyone thinks about or does.
We live in a toxic world and toxins are everywhere. Chemicals are processed into our food, used in cleaning products, perfumes, and cosmetics, and synthetic hormones from plastics leach into our environment.
Added to this are unhealthy lifestyles, in which too many saturated fat, sugar, salt and white flour products are consumed daily. Fatty liver disease is becoming more common.
As a result, toxins build up in our bodies, placing an additional load on our organs and making it difficult for cleansing organs like the liver and colon to do their job.
So it is not surprising that people complain of digestive problems, constipation, frequent headaches, fatigue, bad breath, and skin disorders.
All of these are evidence that the body is trying to rid itself of the toxins that it is burdened with.
So the benefits of an internal cleanse are great, especially when using herbs.
Herbs are often used in a cleanse as they work effectively to cleanse the organs and help them function more efficiently. Herbs like dandelion and burdock work to cleanse the liver and colon. Herbs like uva ursi cleanse the kidneys, another important organ of elimination.
Cleaning benefits
The benefits of cleaning are important, especially if this is the first time a person has cleaned.
Weight loss is a happily reported effect. When the elimination organs such as the liver and colon are cleaned, they can function better, resulting in a faster metabolism.
Herbal cleaners also have to watch their diet more closely, eliminating the foods that made them heavy in the first place. When foods like sugar, saturated fat, and white flour products are eliminated, weight is lost faster. Sometimes people doing a cleanse report losing 5 to 10 pounds, depending on the person.
So weight loss is an important benefit. But perhaps even more important is the extra energy a cleanse provides. When the body works more efficiently, at a higher level, you will feel more energetic and will be able to do things that you did not feel like doing before the cleanse.
Along with the energy there is more resistance. Whether it’s walking, dancing, cleaning, or during the day, a person who has cleaned themselves can last longer.
Improved digestion is an added benefit of cleansing that is linked to increased energy. When your body can digest food more efficiently, you get better use of those nutrients and more energy.
Improved digestion also means that people can sleep better, with deeper, deeper sleep. This means that they will wake up feeling refreshed, with more energy.
Fair skin is another great benefit of a cleanse. Rashes, eczema, acne, psoriasis, and other skin disorders are more likely to clear up after a cleanse. The skin is the largest organ of elimination along with the liver and colon. When the liver and colon function efficiently, toxins do not need to escape through the skin.
Finally, some people report an increased awareness of enhanced senses. They can hear better, taste better, and are more aware of their surroundings.
