The Power of Detoxing

Out with the old and in with the new. Detoxification is one of the central concepts of natural healing. Why? Building healthy new tissue requires eliminating old cells and their by-products.

This has never been truer than in our modern society. Synthetic chemicals, hormones, and toxic material in our food, air, cosmetics, and clothing are regularly flooding our bodies.

Reasons for Detoxing

A detox is also a good way to start a new healthy routine, increasing the potential outcome of the programme. Many people like to cleanse at the beginning of a weight-loss programme or around the festive season.

A detox doesn’t have to be a time of deprivation. It can be a time of good, nourishing food and a time of centering focus. It is also helpful for getting your nutrition back on track if you’ve slipped up a little by overconsumption. During and after a detox, people often report that they feel lighter, less bloated, and have more energy.

We suggest that a 12-day cleansing diet, supported by botanicals, is a good “tune-up” for the body. This will also help people get the most benefit from all the other supplements in their health programmes.

Detoxing vs Fasting

One of the most important rules of natural healing is “cleanse a little, build a little.” This cycle, which we incorporate into the Wild Rose programmes, mirrors nature’s seasonal changes.

Wild Rose suggests the use of a herbal detox over a fast. If you cleanse too hard, as during a fast, you often end up with a “healing crisis” as a side effect. This term, dating from the early days of botanical medicine, refers to an acute condition associated with therapeutic treatment. Symptoms can range from headaches, nausea, and fever to rashes.

Why Is Detoxing So Important?

During the daily process of maintenance, our bodies are regularly building new cells and breaking down old ones. Our bodies recycle most of this broken-down material. However, little by little, waste products build up in the system. A detox programme can support more optimal elimination of material that our bodies do not easily recycle or remove.

It is estimated that our collective daily consumption of dietary additives is 15 to 20 kilograms per year! Since these additives are new to our diet, our bodies do not process them well. Therefore, there is an unprecedented need to cleanse the body at least twice a year.

Most of this unwanted material is deposited in our digestive tract, colon, liver, lymphatic system, and kidneys. Many health problems are attributed to these toxic buildups.

Why the Wild Rose Herbal D-Tox Programme?

The Wild Rose Herbal D-Tox programme is simple to use, and both young and old garner excellent benefits. With the use of the botanicals in the kit as well as the maintenance of a hearty diet, this programme can be enjoyed by both novice and experienced cleansers.

The experienced cleanser will notice dramatic health benefits, without the emotional and physical fluctuations so often associated with fasting. The Meal Plan booklet included in the D-Tox kit combines 20% acidic-forming foods and 80% neutral and alkaline-forming foods. The easy-to-follow chart lists all foods that you may or may not eat while on the programme.

Preparing for a Cleanse
