Your blood is your body’s super highway. Without it, your cells will not be able to receive what they need or eliminate waste. The health of the entire body is dependent on the proper functioning of the blood. The following methods can be used to detox your blood.

Consume digestive enzymes before bed. The enzymes enable the chemical process that cleanses the blood. These can be purchased for your local health food store or online. Be aware that there is little government control over quality of these products. Choose a manufacturer with a good reputation for quality so that you can rest assured that you are putting safe supplements into your body.

Liver cleansing indirectly cleanses the blood since blood is cleaned by the liver. There are many methods of liver cleanse. One popular method involves drinking a saline drink the first evening. It is made by combining 3 tablespoons of Epsom salts in three cups of water. Just before bed, drink a half cup of olive oil with one half cup of grapefruit juice. The next day follow through with three serving of Epsom salt drink every two hours. Later in the day, a healthy diet may be reintroduced. Performing this cleanse at night while the body is relaxed is a more effective way to cleanse the liver. The salts also have a laxative effect, so stay near a bathroom.

Herbal remedies include golden seal, burdock root, dandelion root, licorice root, fennel seeds, horsetail, ginger root, and cardamom seeds. Many teas can be purchased with these ingredients. If you cannot find the combination you want or with a taste you like, you can make your own. Remember that making your own gives you the control over the freshness of the ingredients, which can directly affect their strength and ability to perform detoxification. You can also add some of these ingredients into your daily cooking. Not only will this give you health benefits, but it will also add flavor and color to your dishes.







Senna is a supplement used for colon cleansing. It has been used in holistic medicine for centuries. Herbalists have sought the medicinal attributes of senna to the point that it became a cultivated crop that was traded between countries. Historically it was grown along the Nile and Indian Ocean.

Unlike some medicinal practices from ages past, this substance remains sought after because of its effectiveness. Senna helps treat constipation and promotes bowel movement by promoting peristaltic movement in the colon. It is so effective that it is often a component of over the counter laxatives.

Senna also provides an anti inflammatory agent that can counteract irritation and maintain colon health.

Senna can be safe enough even for children. You can make a fruit spread with a paste of two cups of favorite fruits, one cup of prunes, and ½ cup of powdered senna tea leaves. Combine enough juice or water to make the right consistency for your taste. You can add brown sugar, molasses, or honey to give more sweetness. Mix it together and refrigerate. One teaspoon a day spread on whole grain toast is an easy way to help your child overcome constipation. An adult may find that a couple of teaspoons of the fruit paste may be needed to keep them regular.

A colon cleanse does not have to be a drawn out affair with diarrhea and salt solutions. A healthy detox diet combined with the occasional use of senna can also help you to maintain colon health. Colon cleansing is essential for a healthy body. By combining different methods and adding more herbs to your arsenal for colon health, you will increase your ability to not only achieve a clean colon, but to keep it clean for the long term.
