Environmental Detoxing with Simple Herbs
We are all affected by our environments and absorb them to a certain point. And there are many pollutants and chemicals we are exposed to every day. They are on most manufactured items; in our air and soil, foods and clothes and the homes we live in. Toxins and chemicals build up in us over time.
This is not intended to promote fear. Rather to be aware and take action in cleansing your internal and external systems once in a while. Recommended at least a couple times a year.
Here are herbs for simple teas that are known to help with cleansing specific chemicals out of our body systems. I referenced these from the book Medical Medium by Anthony William.
