Top 5 Benefits of an Herbal Cleanse
Cleaning the outside of the body is something most people will do on a regular basis.
When it comes to cleansing our inner body, it’s 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, where too many saturated fats, sugar, salt, and white flour products are consumed on a daily basis. Fatty liver disease is becoming more common.
As a result, toxins build up in our bodies, putting an extra load on our organs and making it harder for cleansing organs like the liver and colon to do their jobs.
So it’s no wonder people complain of digestive problems, constipation, frequent headaches, fatigue, bad breath, and skin disorders.
These are all evidence that the body is trying to get rid of the toxins it is loaded 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.
Benefits of cleaning
The benefits of cleansing are significant, especially if it is the first time a person has cleaned.
Weight loss is a happily reported effect. When organs of elimination like the liver and colon are cleansed, they are able to function better, resulting in a faster metabolism.
People doing an herbal cleanse also have to take a closer look at their diet, 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 who do a cleanse report losing 5 to 10 pounds, depending on the individual.
So weight loss is a major benefit. But perhaps even more important is the extra energy a cleanse provides. When the body functions more efficiently, at a higher level, you will feel more energized and be able to do things you didn’t feel like doing before the cleanse.
Along with energy there is more resistance. Whether walking, dancing, cleaning, or going through the day, a person who has been cleansed can last longer.
Improved digestion is another benefit of cleansing that is tied to increased energy. When the body is able to digest food more effectively, it results in better use of those nutrients and increased energy.
Improved digestion also means that people can sleep better, with deeper and deeper sleep. This means that they will wake up feeling refreshed, with increased energy.
Clear skin is another great benefit of a cleanse. Rashes, eczema, acne, psoriasis, and other skin disorders are more likely to go away after a cleanse. The skin is the largest elimination organ next to the liver and colon. When the liver and colon are working efficiently, toxins do not need to exit through the skin.
Finally, some people report a heightened awareness of enhanced senses. They can hear better, taste better and are more aware of their surroundings.
