The start of a new year offers the perfect opportunity to prioritize health and well-being and to detoxify the body. Reset, rejuvenate, and optimize for the year ahead by utilizing pure and unadulterated natural ingredients, such as Wild Dandelion, Apple Cider Vinegar, Blackseed, Oregano, Fennel, Cumin, and Cilantro, which are some of nature’s most effective allies in supporting your body’s detoxification process. Let’s explore how these ingredients can help remove toxins and renew your health—backed by research and longstanding tradition.
The Role of Detoxification in Health
Your body has its own detoxification systems, primarily managed by the liver, kidneys, and lymphatic system. These organs work tirelessly to eliminate waste and neutralize toxins that come from food, water, air, chemically produced products, and daily stressors. However, additional exposure to environmental pollutants, processed foods, and poor lifestyle factors can overwhelm these systems. For these reasons, periodic flushing, or purging, is essential to cleanse the body and maintain optimal health. When we go years without detoxification, it may be necessary to do a few cleanses to restore sound health.
Nature’s Outstanding Detoxifying Ingredients
1. Wild Dandelion
Wild Dandelion is a powerhouse for liver and digestive health.*1 Rich in antioxidants and phytonutrients, it helps stimulate bile production, which is essential for breaking down fats and removing toxins.*1 Research suggests dandelion may also support kidney function by acting as a diuretic, promoting waste elimination through urine.*1
2. Wild Burdock
Wild Burdock root has been used for centuries to purify the blood and support skin health.*2 It contains compounds that help filter the blood and support the liver’s detoxification pathways.*2 Studies show its antioxidant properties and how burdock supports the body’s healthy response to inflammation.*2
3. Wild Nettles
Rich in vitamins and minerals, Wild Nettles are known for their ability to support kidney health and the body’s response to inflammation.*3 They act as a natural diuretic, helping to flush out waste and prevent fluid retention.*3
Wild Nettles Mineral List: Calcium, potassium, sodium, iron, zinc, manganese, phosphorous, chromium, cobalt, magnesium, and silicon.
Vitamins: A, B6, C, E, K, thiamin (B1), riboflavin (B2), niacin (B3), folic acid (B9)
4. Wild Fireweed
Wild Fireweed is a lesser-known detoxifying herb but offers potent antioxidant properties.*4 It supports the healthy response to inflammation*, (for the fire in our body), and the natural ability to neutralize harmful free radicals, due to its high presence of polyphenols and quercetin, which is beneficial to the immune system.*4
5. Apple Cider Vinegar
Apple Cider Vinegar (ACV) is a staple in natural health remedies. Its acetic acid content aids digestion and supports a balanced gut microbiome, which plays a critical role in detoxification.*5 Studies suggest ACV also supports blood sugar and cholesterol balance.*5
6. Blackseed
Blackseed, also known as Nigella sativa, has been hailed for its numerous health benefits. It contains thymoquinone and other compounds with antioxidants and inflammatory supporting properties.*6 Blackseed supports liver function, healthy cholesterol, blood pressure, and blood sugar balance.*6 Notably, it also supports a healthy cleansing response to parasites.*6
7. Wild Oregano
Wild Oregano helps maintain a healthy microbial balance in the body.*7 Its natural oils, such as carvacrol and thymol, have been shown to support overall gut and immune health with remarkable potency that few, if any, herbs can rival.*7 In addition, the antioxidant properties and potency far outperform the majority of antioxidant foods on Earth.7 For example, one gram of the raw oregano herb is many times richer in antioxidants than a gram of blueberries. This is especially important in detoxification scenarios when free radicals that cause oxidative stress are numerous. Its powerful inflammation-supporting mechanism is often underestimated.*7 These benefits can be experienced with oral and topical administration; avoid the eyes and groin areas with care. Wild oregano is also an excellent skin cleanser in the same manner of use.*7
8. Fennel
Fennel seeds are well-known for their digestive benefits.*8 Pressing them into an oil adds extra strength. The oil has high amounts of the compound called shikimic acid, which further supports the body’s natural defense mechanisms.*8 Fennel soothes bloating, stimulates digestion, and supports the elimination of bodily waste.*8 It is a well-known intestinal worm cleanser.*8 This is an excellent herb for overall liver health.8 Fennel’s high antioxidant content also supports cellular strength.*8
9. Cumin
Cumin is a versatile spice with multiple detoxifying properties. It supports digestion, boosts metabolism and contains potent antioxidants.9 Cumin, along with black seed and fennel supports a healthy response to parasitic activity.*9 Emerging research highlights its role in gut health and weight management.*9 Additionally, cumin helps support the body’s production of Glutathione in the liver, the highly prized “king” of antioxidants.*9 Read more.9
10. Cilantro
Cilantro is often celebrated for its ability to bind to heavy metals and assist in their removal from the body.*10 Heavy metal toxicity is more prevalent in our society than in years past and can be difficult to eliminate. They are responsible for bone weakening, gut disturbances, neurodegenerative and mental health disorders, and even cancer. Cilantro has more research in this area than most other herbs and is a critical part of a detoxification regimen.*10 It also supports healthy balance in the gut and normal digestive function.*10
How and where to start:
Each of the ingredients mentioned above can be found in one easy-to-take bottle! We recommend Total Body Purge to start your detox journey. Take 1-2 ounces daily, depending on your needs, for a 12-day cleanse. Stay hydrated with clean, mineral-rich water (you can add a little sea salt).
Fasting: consider fasting to maximize the results. You can take the “Purge” while intermittently fasting for 16 hours each day, or start with a 24-hour fast on your first day. Some even like to do a water fast for 3 days (72 hours) and there are many additional benefits for doing so! These include increasing sensitivity to insulin, helping the body to use ketones as fuel instead of glucose, and autophagy, which is the cellular process in which a cell engulfs and degrades its own damaged or unnecessary components, such as proteins and bacteria. This process is essential for maintaining cellular homeostasis, recycling nutrients, and protecting cells from stress.
Tips to Maximize Your Detox Outcomes
Incorporating these powerful ingredients into your routine is simple and effective. Here are some practical tips:
- Stay Hydrated: Clean water is essential for flushing out toxins. Aim for at least 8–10 glasses daily. We recommend Spring water because it contains minerals.
- Eat Whole Foods: Focus on fresh organic fruits, vegetables, & lean proteins.
- Incorporate Detoxifying Herbs and Spices: Add oregano, cumin, fennel, and cilantro to your meals or teas.
- Practice Mindful Movement: Exercise and activities like yoga support lymphatic drainage and improve circulation.
- Prioritize Sleep: Rest allows your body to repair and detoxify efficiently.
