Spring is in full swing and in the sun’s rays the world is becoming more and more beautiful, nature has come to life. The spring sun gives us energy, but ruthlessly reveals all the shortcomings of our skin, figure imperfections and the surrounding environment. That’s why at this time of year we traditionally organize our homes – we clean, wash windows, remove unnecessary items from basements and attics.
In spring, we often visit the hairdresser and beautician to take care of our appearance. But did you know that the condition of our skin, hair and nails depends largely on the condition of our intestines and liver?! The intestine – like a root of a plant – nourishes us, and the liver – frees us from toxins. Therefore, cosmetic treatments, even those based on the latest cosmetics rich in active ingredients, do not always give good results.
The secret of the secret of beautiful appearance and health is very simple – the human body should be clean from the inside, well nourished by a healthy intestine, free from toxins thanks to a properly functioning liver.
In the conditions of modern civilization, maintaining an ideal state of internal balance, i.e. homeostasis, is very difficult. High level of stress, irregular nutrition, highly processed food low in bioelements and vitamins with high sugar content. Additionally, the condition of our body is worsened by excessive drinking of coffee, alcohol and smoking. Apart from alcohol, the increasing number of drugs used is also not good for the liver. On a daily basis, we do not always remember to drink the right amount of clean, good quality water.
Taking care of the intestine, which nourishes us, and the liver, which frees us from toxins, is the basis of health prevention.
How to do this?
What tools and means should we use to clean up our body?
What time is most suitable for such treatment?
Spring This is an excellent period to carry out a body cleansing treatment. Relieving the body of toxins reduces the symptoms of spring fatigue, has a positive effect on immunity, and improves the condition of the skin, hair and nails.
In spring we often have problems with infections viral – colds, sore throat, herpes… Remember that 80% of immune cells it is produced in the lymphatic tissue located under the intestinal mucosa. Scientific research has confirmed that the functioning of the immune system depends largely on the microflora inhabiting this huge ecosystem.
The inner surface of the intestine is about 200 times larger than the surface of the skin and covers about 400 square meters, and the number of bacteria living there is so large that their total weight reaches 2 kilograms.
Correct and strong immune defense of the body requires symbiosis with the body that is friendly to us microflorawhich stimulates lymphatic tissue to produce strong and active defense cells.
Moreover, it affects intestinal tightness by stimulating the biosynthesis of proteins, tight junctions responsible for the adhesion of epithelial cells lining the intestine.
Having a healthy, friendly microflora is the basis of health and beauty.
Therefore, caring for the biological balance in the intestine, which, like a root, nourishes us and protects our health through the immune system, should become a permanent element of our lifestyle. We should like our friendly bacteria, take care of them, nurture them and try to create the most appropriate environment for them in our intestines, and after diseases and medical treatments that result in their decrease, we should periodically supplement and increase their number – especially lactic acid bacteria lactobacillus acidophilus and Bifidobacterium.
In the conditions of modern civilization, despite the high level of hygiene, access to clean water, and beautiful bathrooms, we are not completely free from parasitesalthough we are often unaware of their presence.
Parasites can hide and mask their presence, even the immune system does not always notice and fight them.
They are a special group of microorganisms that often inhabit our body for years and are very difficult to get rid of mushrooms – this is influenced by a diet high in sugar, sweets and white flour products, the use of antibiotics in medical treatments and animal husbandry, and high levels of stress. Yeasts are particularly resistant to treatment Candida albicanswhich are numerous toxins may disturb the proper functioning of our body, especially the immune, nervous and hormonal systems.
Toxinswhich release parasites and fungi, can cause many different clinical symptoms. Sometimes they are treated as separate disease entities. There are many reports in scientific research that confirm this possible relationship between the incidence of some diseases and the presence of parasites and fungi in our body – these include: allergy, chronic fatigue syndrome, obesity, diabetes, digestive disorders, intestinal inflammation, arthritis, headaches, skin diseases.
Regular body cleansing treatments removal of parasites and fungi can bring us many health and beauty benefits, and spring is the best time of year to perform them.
The effectiveness of these actions depends largely on the diet used at that time, excluding sugar, sweets, also sweet fruit, white flour and limiting meat, or even temporarily excluding it. Vegetables in all forms are very beneficial – raw, warm and as freshly squeezed juices.
During treatment, it is important to drink an appropriate amount of clean water on an empty stomach and between meals, preferably warm, at least 1.5 liters a day.
In getting rid of against parasites and fungi, some plants can be very helpfulwhose biological effect is determined by the content of active ingredients o growth-inhibiting properties or development parasites or fungi. You can use them mutually synergistic impactwhich may increase the obtained results. Examples of such plants are:
- black walnut – antiseptic, astringent, antiparasitic and antifungal properties. Contains organic iodine with strong antiseptic properties, rich in bioelements and vitamins;
- walnut – contains juglandin and phenolic compounds with antiparasitic properties. Source of serotonin – has a positive effect on mood and satiety;
- garlic – has antiseptic properties, inhibits the growth of many strains of bacteria and fungi without destroying friendly microflora, improves immunity, regulates lipid levels, and has antithrombotic properties;
- grapefruit seeds – grapefruit seed extract has antibacterial, antifungal, antiviral and antiparasitic properties;
- quinoa – has antiparasitic properties, especially against roundworms – it is considered one of the best agents against human roundworm, the main active ingredient – ascaridol;
- Pau d’Arco (Lapacho, Taheebo) – contains lapachol – with antiviral and antiparasitic properties;
- clove oil – main active ingredient – eugenol – has antiparasitic, antifungal, antioxidant, anti-inflammatory and analgesic properties, used in dentistry for root canal treatment.
During the cleansing treatment, we should take care of ours liver, which, as the main filter that cleanses the blood of toxic substances, is then very burdened. We should exclude alcohol, avoid large, late dinners and include biologically active substances that have a beneficial effect on the detoxification processes taking place in the liver. These include:
- vitamin c z bioflavonoids;
- amino acids necessary for proper operation urea cycle (conversion of toxic ammonia into urea): l-arginine, L-cysteine, L-ornithine;
- methionine, alpha-lipoic acid – helpful in combating free oxygen radicals;
- selenium with L-cysteine – detoxifying and antioxidant effects;
- extract from milk thistle – silymarin – protects the liver against the toxic effects of alcohol and drugs, supports the regeneration of liver cells;
- choline, chromium and L-carnitine supporting lipid metabolism.
A treatment for cleansing the intestines and liver, which we will carry out in spring, is the basis for keeping the body in good condition throughout the year.
An organism free from toxins, fungi and parasites has natural abilities to regenerate and repair cells, a strong immune system, and the aging process is slower.
