Herbal medicine is re-emerging as a valued medicinal approach and a tremendous variety of therapeutic herbs are making their way into grocery and health food stores. These herbs are generally available in capsules or in tinctures, that can be conveniently taken anywhere with just a few drops below the tongue.

These are a small list of herbs that are most important to a herbal body detox program.

Milk Thistle is a mighty antioxidant that heals the liver, furthers the flow of bile, and functions as an overall tonic to a number of other organs. It provokes the development of new liver cells.

Burdock Root is both a tonic and a diuretic. It moves out impurities from the blood. Additionally, it helps in reestablishing efficient liver, gallbladder and kidney function. Burdock root also stimulates the immune system with its anti-bacterial and anti-fungal properties.

Dandelion is a powerful liver tonic, a diuretic and a highly efficient blood detoxifier. It lowers cholesterol and improves the function of the pancreas, stomach, spleen and kidneys.

Yellow Dock is a blood cleanser. It ameliorates the function of the liver and colon. Yellow dock root is also therapeutic for anemia, the gall bladder and the spleen.

Red Clover is a gentle detoxifier and boasts anti-bacterial properties. Red clover is not only a blood cleanser, it is also an appetite suppressant, and a relaxant.

Echinacea empowers the immune system by combatting bacteria, viruses and other contagious agents. Echinacea is also famous for purifying the lymph system.

You can use blends of any of these herbs, there are many detox herbs and tonics available now. If you get these herbs individually, be sure not to take too much at one time. These herbs can be very powerful, and the purpose of detoxifying the body is to offer it rest and rejuvenation. This is why a natural, safe detox program is fundamental. In our endeavor to cleanse our body, we must be certain that we aren’t too harsh. This will protect the well-being of our body and cut the side effects that are routine with a detox.
