Final part of a 4 part series. Detox kit ingredient analysis

Truthfully, I’ve been using this one the least. Sometimes I throw some tablets in a bag to take to work but don’t take the extract. It’s liquid, it’s alcohol based, it tastes terrible. Smoothies mask the taste.

“CL Herbal Extract – Licorice root, Yarrow herb/ flowers, Uva Ursi leaf, Juniper berries, Corn Silk styles, Burdock root.”

All of the following are taken from the Wild Rose website.

Licorice:
Licorice has been used as a detoxifier for thousands of years by the Chinese, it is known in China as the “Great Detoxifier”. It is also well known as an anti-inflammatory and antibacterial herb. It has a tonic energy and revitalizes the body while supplementing and balancing the internal regions of the body.

Yarrow:
Yarrow works on cleansing the system, both through the urinary tract and by it’s well known diaphoretic action (diaphoretic-an agent that causes one to eliminate toxins through sweating). It’s diaphoretic action enables it to purify the blood of morbid waste material. Yarrow also regulates the function of the liver, and is especially beneficial through its influence on secretions throughout the entire digestion process. Yarrow has also been shown to have mild antibiotic action against bacteria.

Uva Ursi leaf (aka Bearberry):
Uva Ursi (Bearberry) is specific for the urinary tract, both toning and cleansing it. It is an effective urinary disinfectant and has been shown to be strongly antibiotic against many organisms including Staph. and E. coli bacteria.

Juniper berries and corn silk:
Juniper and corn silk are effective diuretics which means that they will cause a general increase of urine flow. This is beneficial in that is cleanses or flushes any infections or bacteria that may be present, or that are being discarded by the body because of the anti-bacterial and cleansing actions of the other herbs in the formula. Corn silk is also very soothing to the urinary tract.

Burdock:
Burdock has been used for centuries as an excellent blood cleanser with an especially positive effect on the liver. It rids the body of long term toxic material and is an antidote for acute poisoning. Burdock is also employed to cleanse the lymphatic system and soothe the kidneys.
