Imagine your body as a well-oiled machine, finely tuned to function at its best. Just like any high-performing system, it needs the right fuel to operate efficiently and ward off potential threats. That's where the concept of alkalising the body with super greens comes into play - a simple yet powerful way to take charge of your well-being and elevate your health to new heights. Understanding the Power of Alkalinity Our bodies strive to maintain a delicate balance between aci

Many things can cause bowel gas. Certain chemical processes in the colon produce various gases as byproducts of normal bowel function. Some, such as carbon dioxide, are odourless, while others, such as hydrogen sulfide, are very odorous. In a healthy colon, bowel gas is not a concern. However, if the colon is diseased or not functioning properly, excessive bowel gas can be a sign of disturbance and can have serious consequences if left untreated. For instance, if there is a b

This natural healing technique is aimed at creating movement within your circulatory system, which in turn creates a knock-on effect of movement within your lymphatic system. Your lymphatic system travels around the body in very close proximity to your blood circulatory system, and so anything that speeds up circulation will help to create movement within the lymph too. When your body is subjected to heat (a hot shower), your blood will move in greater volume to the surface o

Begin by cleansing and regenerating your eliminative organs (skin, lymph, blood, kidneys, bowels and lungs) Buy a juicer and use it daily. Juicing is the quickest way to get vital nutrients into the body. We like to think of juicing as nature's blood transfusion! Eat at least half or a high proportion of your food every day in its raw and living state... Raw fruits and veggies are a must when it comes to natural healing. Cook all your food lightly and avoid microwaves. Using

The relationship between diet and gut health has caught the attention of researchers and health enthusiasts alike. Anti-inflammatory foods show great promise in supporting our digestive systems and overall well-being. But what connects these foods to gut health? This post explores the benefits of anti-inflammatory foods and offers practical dietary adjustments for better health. Understanding Gut Health Gut health refers to how well your digestive system works. A well-functio

Many people are surprised when we say that over ninety percent of all diseases are caused by constipation. Even diseases that seem unrelated, such as eczema, depression, and backache, are often caused by a toxic and overloaded bowel. The intestines function as the "sewer system" of the body. They eliminate wastes from almost every organ, including the liver, gallbladder, pancreas, bloodstream, lymph, and brain. When this "sewer" is backed up or isn't functioning properly, the

Liver Regeneration Potential: Liver congestion can disrupt hormonal balance. The liver can regenerate quickly, typically within one to three months. Research shows it takes up to six weeks for the liver to replenish cells, and it can regain 70-90% of its functions even after 80% is resected. Hormonal Balance: The liver helps regulate the secretion of: Insulin Glucagon Cortisol Aldosterone Thyroid Releasing Hormone (TRH) Thyroid Stimulating Hormone (TSH) Follicle Stimulating H

Gastrointestinal textbooks describe a normal bowel movement as a solid mass of formed faecal matter. They also state that it is normal to have one bowel movement a day or three a week. This is probably normal for someone eating a heavily processed and overly acidic diet. However, it's not normal! People who eat a complete, whole-food, plant-strong diet or perhaps a vegetarian diet tend to have three regular bowel movements a day. A healthy bowel movement is soft and unformed,

Ingredients: 2 cups of vegetable stock 2 cups of millet or a bulgur wheat 4 to 5 Bunches of fresh flat-leaf parsley 5 to 6 tomatoes (Roma are nice with this dish), seeded and chopped ½ a cup of organic hemp seeds or roasted seeds and nuts of your choice ½ a cup of chopped red onion J

By their very name, this group of high-quality unsaturated fats are essential for growth and all body functions. Of the fifty essential nutrients (substances our bodies cannot manufacture, but which are required for normal daily cellular functions, so, therefore, have to be obtained from foods), two originate from fats and oils - Essential Fatty Acids (EFAs). Out of interest, the other forty-eight essential nutrients are vitamins, minerals and amino acids. These two Essentia

Skin brushing is an important natural healing technique that is worth incorporating into your self-care routine. Your skin is the largest organ of your body and has many important functions, including the absorption of nutrients, protection, and the elimination of wastes through the sweating reflex. As much as eighty percent of what you apply to your skin will be absorbed into your bloodstream. Think of your bloodstream as your river of life! The last thing any of us wants t

Improper bowel conditions and functions will lead to intestinal toxaemia. Intestinal toxaemia is caused by imbalances such as an unhealthy lifestyle, deficient diet, dehydration, physical and emotional stress, emotions such as anger, bitterness, overeating, lack of exercise, and ignoring the call to nature. When the colon is congested with stagnant waste, poisons begin to back up into our body systems and pollute our inner terrain. This is called autointoxication, which means

The elimination of undigested food from the body is equally as important as the proper digestion and assimilation of food. There is nothing more significant and vital, because the danger of the inevitable effects of toxaemia, and toxic poisons as the outcome of neglected accumulation in the large intestine due to a poor diet and the inability to eliminate the debris and other waste matter from the body effectively, have a catastrophic effect on all aspects of our health and w

The use of beneficial bacteria in the treatment of digestive complaints and supplementation after antibiotic courses is becoming more widespread and acceptable throughout many realms in both the public and medical thought. However, the role of bacteria in sustaining enhanced immune performance and good adaptability in the face of dietary, emotional and environmental toxins is less well known and accepted. Even the term "dysbiosis" is not fully understood by many working in t

This natural healing technique focuses on the skin as a route of elimination. The skin is the largest organ of elimination and therefore is an invaluable route for toxicity to leave the body. Epsom salts (Magnesium Sulphate) have the effect of drawing toxicity and acidity (especially uric acid) towards itself. As a result, when you take a bath with a high solution of Epsom salts, it draws out toxicity from within the body through your skin into the bath. The hot water will he

It's imperative to keep your digestive system in the best possible shape and health because we need a healthy, functioning digestive system in order to eliminate toxins. Digestive imbalances and irritable bowel conditions are caused by diets rich in animal products, such as meat, eggs and dairy. Sugar, processed foods, and other highly refined foods all aggravate the condition, as does dehydration, stress, overeating, and a lack of exercise. When the digestive system is overl

Elimination and the ideal bowel movement is not a subject often talked about but we think it should be! You may be surprised to learn that we should be eliminating up to as much as four times per day. This means that for every meal you eat, you should be having a bowel movement about an hour after eating. Incidentally, your most recent meal is not the meal that's being eliminated. We all have our rhythm, which means that our bowel movements are not necessarily going to be the
