Whatever we do we seem to make a mess. Nothing is ever finished without creating some kind of waste that needs to be cleaned up afterwards. Our bodies also produce waste as part of normal metabolism; it’s all part of being human. So, if after years of activity we are beginning to feel that our bodies have accumulated too much ‘mess’, then perhaps they need a good spring clean. Like a house that’s been locked up all winter, our body’s ‘utilities network could benefit from dusting, vacuuming, mopping, scrubbing, polishing and some airing out.

The body’s main waste management facilities are the liver (recycling centre), kidneys and bladder (waste-water system) and bowel (sewer system). These organs need to be running efficiently and on schedule for the rest of the body to operate optimally. Central to this activity is the liver, and its role in detoxification requires a little further understanding.

There are two phases to detoxification; phase one and two. The first phase of detoxification makes pollutants more water soluble. Unfortunately many of these metabolites are actually more harmful, and it is the job of phase two to neutralize and remove these. So, phase one and phase two need to be working at the same rate, otherwise the body can be subjected to increased toxicity. This is why alcohol, smoking and other body pollutants can cause problems as they escalate phase one, creating more poisons that need to be cleared by phase two.

On our website carries Milk Thistle, a mega-star when it comes to liver support, which assists the liver in several ways. Silymarin, the main active constituent, incorporates itself into liver cells to help strengthen them against chemical stress, support phase one and two detoxification, provide antioxidant protection from free radical damage and help maintain tissue integrity and health. Other herbs which are renowned for their cleansing properties are burdock, red clover and cleavers for their blood purifying properties: dandelion root for the ‘recycling centre’ (liver), asparagus and cranberry for the ‘waterworks’ (kidneys and bladder) and psyllium, oat bran and triphala for the ‘sewage system’ (bowel).
