and whole foods can help by giving your body what it needs to heal itself naturally.

Traditional diets and ethnic diets have much to offer for enjoyment, and often health! Special restricted diets to pursue health goals may be valid help for individuals at different times in their lives.

We want to help you get healing herbs and spices and other nutrition essentials into your daily diet. So you can find recipes here to expand your meals and learn new ways to add more spark, flavor, and health to your foods.

We are reorganizing our recipes for this purpose. Visit Recipes Blog

We live in a toxic world, exposed to more chemicals, artficial foods, pollution in the air and water than ever, and the body can sometimes be overwhelmed by the amount it has to handle. The liver, large intestines (colon), kidneys, lymph, lungs and skin are avenues of natural filtering, detoxification and elimination. Supporting the function of these organs periodically can support and help maintain normal health.




Where to start?




That is somewhat flexible - you can do a little cleansing to target particular areas for support.

The classic order for cleansing of body sytems is this :
Colon/Intestines (Start here) - Liver and Gallbladder - Kidney and Urinary tract - Blood and Lymph - Skin - Lungs




Colon/intestinal tract first, because when wastes aren't eliminated regularly through the colon/intestinal tract, it can be uncomfortable and waste substances may be reabsorbed back into the bloodstream.




Then when the bowels are moving well, the liver is next with support for its function of breaking down metabolic and toxic wastes and expelling them in bile through the gall bladder and into intestinal tract for elimination. Part of the liver's function is to break down some wastes into water-soluble compounds that can be sent to the kidneys for elimination in urine.




Next the kidneys are supported for more urine flow, and flushing them of excess mineral deposits, microbials or other possible substances.




Lastly, the blood & lymph flow is promoted, which goes back to supporting the healthy normal state of liver, kidneys, gut and immune system.

excess mineral deposits, microbials or other possible substances.



Additionally, the skin and lungs may be addressed next or at the same time as other systems because they too are organs of elimination. Indeed, these may sometimes serve as emergency exit routes for wastes that other organs cannot eliminate at the time. The skin benefits from support through sweating, and from non-toxic personal care products and extra attention.
The lungs can also be supported to maintain normal health in the face of air pollution and other challenges.
