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.

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.

 The Digestive System
As you can see from the diagram below our amazing digestive system is made up of many systems working together to process our food and provide us with the energy we need to live our lives.

Daily Health & Cleansing Tea is a synergistic blend of herbs that gently supports the body's natural cleansing process. It works as a complete digestive system cleanser and health builder from the colon, liver, gallbladder, kidneys, & bladder to the lymph, blood, & Skin.

One of the many benefits of maintaining a healthy digestive system is weight loss and reduced appetite due to the more effective absorption of nutrients. Many people also report improved skin condition, mental clarity and higher energy levels.

Using the Daily Health & Cleansing Tea:

The tea blend is packaged in 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. 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.
