Blood Cleansing

Herbs as alternatives facilitate the body's natural detoxification processes by enhancing the activity of multiple elimination pathways, including the kidneys, liver, skin, lungs, large intestines, and lymphatic system. These herbs typically possess bitter and cooling properties, and examples include red clover, echinacea, dandelion, burdock, and yellow dock. Scientific studies have explored the biochemical pathways through which these herbs exert their detoxifying effects.

For instance, the flavonoids in dandelion have been studied for their ability to stimulate bile production, aiding liver detoxification (Schütz et al., 2006, Journal of Ethnopharmacology). Echinacea has shown immunomodulatory properties, potentially aiding the lymphatic system in eliminating pathogens (Zhai et al., 2007, Journal of Ethnopharmacology). However, rigorous clinical trials are needed to fully substantiate the detoxifying benefits of these alternative herbs (Mills & Bone, 2000; Principles and Practice of Phytotherapy; NIH, 2018).
