Digestive Health The Key to Radiant Health Natural health practitioners agree that digestive health is an essential key to radiant health. Maintaining a healthy digestive system is important to health and maintaining your proper weight. Without a proper functioning digestive system we are unable to effectively absorb the nutrients we eat or completely eliminate toxins that our bodies generate in their normal daily activities. 4 large tea bags 16.95 (makes up to 4 gallons of tea) In simple terms the digestive system is a tube It acts as a disassembly line. It functions to break down larger macromolecules (proteins, fats and starch), which cannot be absorbed intact, into smaller molecules (amino acids, fatty acids and glucose) that can be absorbed across the wall of the tube, and into the circulatory system for dissemination around your body. The digestive system is a well-run factory in which a large number of complex tasks are performed. The three fundamental processes that take place are: Secretion: Delivery of enzymes, mucus, ions into the lumen, and hormones into blood. Absorption: Transport of water, ions and nutrients from the lumen, across the epithelium and into blood. Motility: Contractions of smooth muscle in the wall of the tube that crush, mix and propel its contents.

Using the Daily Health & Cleansing Tea: The tea blend is packaged in 3 convenient large weekly tea bags. They allow for brewing 1 weeks supply of tea at a time. The tea can be brewed as a standard tea or as a concentrate. Use 1 tea bag for standard potency and 2 tea bags for a high potency blend with either of the brewing instructions below. 1. Standard brewing: Bring 1 gallon of water to a slow boil in a covered container and add 1 tea bag. Let the water boil for 1 hour then turn off the heat and let it steep for 4 hours. Pour the finished tea into a container and store it in the refrigerator. Take 1/2 to 1 of a cup each day. The tea can be heated or taken cold. 2. Concentrated brewing: Follow the steps above but use 1 1/2 quarts of water. Use 2 to 4 tablespoons of tea each day. We recommend that you start by taking a smaller amount and see how your system responds then adjust the amount according to how much cleansing/detox effects you desire. As you gain experience in using the tea you will be able to determine how much you need to take to have the cleansing effect you want to achieve. After becoming familiar with the tea many people find themselves simply taking a swig out of the container stored in the refrigerator from time to time as their body requires. Some like to include the tea as a regular part of their health program and take it on a daily, weekly or monthly schedule. It is also fine to take it on a sporadic schedule or as you feel your body and digestion requires. We are often our own best guides in deciding what our bodies need if we tune in and feel what helps us to be healthy. Occasionally when we endeavor to cleans our system we will feel worse for a little while as our bodies work to eliminate toxins. This is referred to as a cleansing crisis and normally passes as you continue cleansing and working on improving the quality of the foods you eat. The tea will also often increase the frequency of your bowel movements. It also acts as a bowel softener which is a natural part of cleansing. If your bowel movements become too frequent or to loose you can simply reduce the amount you are taking or stop for a day or two. As is true with any effort to improve and maintain our health, eating good foods like fruits, vegetables, salads and other whole foods, drinking plenty of water, exercise, emotional and mental balance are all important parts of building and maintaining health and will support the cleansing process. It does take effort and often changes in habits, but is well worth it and can be a lot fun to discover new things that help you feel healthy and more alive as you go about your daily life.

Our domesticated vegetables have their roots in wild ancestors, but the intense, bitter flavors have been carefully bred out of them, yielding mild, sweet-tasting vegetables. “Bitter” is an unwelcome quality in today’s cuisine, as most people much prefer sweet or salty foods. In fact, most people are addicted to sugar from a young age and don't appreciate the taste of bitter at all. If you are trying to introduce someone to the virtues of wild foods, the bitter herbs will be a hard sell indeed. Appreciation for the quality of bitterness is an acquired taste and the sign of a ‘mature palate’ in some circles. The four basic taste qualities are Sweet, Sour, Salty and Bitter. We tend to think of the four food groups being meat, dairy, fruit and vegetables, and grains, but some herbal traditions categorize foods in a different way: by taste. The four major taste groups are sweet, salty, sour and bitter. In these traditions a ‘balanced diet’ would consist of a sampling of each of these. In a typical diet today we see a huge emphasis on sweet and salty, some tolerance for sour, but not bitter. In fact, food scientists are working hard at developing ways to eliminate bitter tastes entirely! Sour and Bitter Foods Protect Against Diseases Bitter May Be Better So Why Bitter? The question to be asked is “Why are some of the most densely nutritious edible herbs so bitter? What law of nature is this?” Answer: The body needs the taste of bitter to stimulate various metabolic processes associated with the liver and digestion. The Medicinal Action of Bitter Herbs In herbal medicine there is actually a class of herbs called ‘bitters’. Here are some of the actions of bitter herbs on the body: * Bitters stimulate the appetite by triggering receptor sites on the tongue, which are taste buds that are designed especially to receive bitter flavors. * Bitters stimulate the gastric mucosa (stomach lining) to secrete the digestive juices needed to digest food properly. * Bitters strengthen poor digestion, which in turn helps the body better assimilate vitamins and minerals. * Bitters help the body to assimilate fats by stimulating a release of bile into the intestines. * Bitters stimulate the activity of the liver, which is a very important organ for detoxifying and filtering harmful substances from the body. * Bitters regulate the secretion of insulin and glycogen by the pancreas, and therefore can be helpful in managing hypoglycemia and diabetes. * Bitters stimulate repair of the stomach lining so can be useful in reversing ulcers. An ancient herbalist named Paracelsus created a bitters formula that was later patented by a Swedish scientist, known today as Swedish Bitters. This is a very popular remedy, particularly in Europe, and there are many amazing testimonies to its contributions to healing all kinds of ailments.
