Do you know how to properly detoxify your body and gain new strength?

Spring in traditional Chinese medicine means a new beginning. Getting rid of the old so that the new can grow and thrive. Spring cleaning begins at the cellular level, but to do it properly, the body must be ready for it. Cleansing happens for everyone anyway. Those who are ready will gain a sense of energy and lightness. Otherwise, spring fatigue and depression await.

Water, energy and movement

In order to detoxify your body smoothly, you need to have enough energy. The two most important detoxification organs are the Liver and Kidneys. To these are added the skin and the Large Intestine, which in TCM, like the Lungs, belongs to the element metal. Metal energy is about order and discipline, which you will need during your spring detox. Those who are overweight only need three meals a day. Others should not skip snacks to have enough energy to break down harmful substances. It is advisable to cut down on animal proteins and fats and include more legumes and vegetable oils. In particular, do not restrict fat too much so that the liver has something to make bile from. Yes, that's right. Fat helps in cleansing the liver and detoxifying the body. Green herbs like young nettles, bear garlic and other young shoots are in turn a valuable source of chlorophyll and fibre, without which we would find it hard to get rid of waste products.

The drinking regime determines the course of detoxification. The recommended daily intake for healthy adults is around 0.4 litres per 10 kg of body weight. The frequency and colour of urine is a control indicator. Light yellow urine with a frequency of around eight per day is ideal. Don't even get into detoxification until you have adjusted your drinking regime or you will damage your kidneys! It helps to use salt with reduced sodium and potassium chloride to improve your drinking regime.

Because lymph is affected by muscle movement, you need to move. In addition to improving lymph circulation and blood circulation to the skin, the appetite will increase and appetite will adjust. Just walk at least 30 minutes a day, but briskly and without interruption. Lymphatic congestion leads to physical and mental fatigue and joint pain.

Virus, what is not a virus

Neglecting the above advice will overload the body's detoxification capacity. A Herhxheimer reaction can occur. This is a deterioration of health caused by unremoved products of metabolism that resembles a virus or flu. The most common manifestations are restlessness, nausea, vomiting, temperature to fever, chills, palpitations, diarrhea, changes in blood pressure or skin reactions. It can be mistaken for a virus. The good news is that if you use herbal remedies, you will also support detoxification at the same time. Treating a cough or cold will not interrupt the detoxification or overwhelm the existing process. It will only clean up what you have not "exhaled" and eliminated through urine and stool. Once the symptoms have subsided, you can return to controlled detoxification.

It should be noted that suppressing symptoms with chemical drugs leads to the opposite situation. Elevated temperature, fever and sweating are not the disease, but helpers in detoxification!

Natural detox

The ancient Chinese have always been fascinated by a healthy liver. They rightly suspected that this irreplaceable factory decides life and death. And one could say, "There is no herb that is not for the liver"! We don't want to say that regular use of herbs keeps the liver healthy, but with a good lifestyle and the use of herbal remedies, it can manage to recover and function adequately. And when we need to, herbs are the first thing we reach for.

Milk thistle is synonymous with a healthy liver. Like dandelion and the vital mushroom Reishi. This combination suits especially those who have energy and need to "get it". They often have higher cholesterol and blood sugar levels or what we call fullness.

Spleen weakening and blood emptiness requires caution. The Huang Fu Gui Tang (Liver Detox) blend combines herbs to cleanse the Liver with herbs to strengthen the Spleen and support and stir the Blood. The blend calms and settles energy levels through the day. It will be appreciated by exhausted people who sweat on exertion, have a poorer appetite but need to relieve the burden on the body.

MycoDetox helps to remove unwanted metabolic products and toxic substances from food and polluted environments. In addition to Reishi, it contains Chlorella and Spirulina, important sources of fiber, without which the intestines cannot function properly. Algae is also a valuable source of vitamins and minerals essential for the proper functioning of the metabolism. They have an irreplaceable place in the process of controlled detoxification.

The high pace of life, stress, unprocessed emotions, environmental or medication influences... all can be managed with a well-functioning Liver, a smile and the support of Spring Qi.
