Regular Detox for the Human Sponge

The Human Sponge

Your body acts just like a kitchen sponge absorbing anything and everything it can get its paws on. You’ve probably heard this before “You are what you eat”, but have you heard this one “You are what you absorb”? For example, if you sit in a room full of cigarette smoke for 4 hours a day, what do you become? A passive smoker right, that’s what they call it anyway, but in-fact, unless you are a child in a pushchair, you’re actually an active smoker because you could easily choose not to stay in that environment. It’s the same with everything we expose ourselves to including these popular favourites:

• - Synthetic chemical cosmetics and deodorants
• - Cleaning chemicals, fly spray & aerosols
• - Petrol and diesel exhaust fumes
• - Food additives, flavourings , preservatives and sweeteners
• - Pharmaceutical and recreational drugs etc..
• - Junk foods, processed food and fast foods

BUILD UP

Your intestines have an absorbant surface area the size of a football field and your lungs are not much smaller. If you flatten out the intestine, skin and lungs you have a massive surface area acting as a very thirsty huge human sponge. Imagine your body filled with all the things you have ingested over your lifetime having been absorbed and sometimes stored away, or stuck, just like it would be in a sponge. Don’t forget the negative, thoughts, feeling and emotions you may have encountered. You know how the sponge eventually gets dirty and clogged, so it has to be thrown away, well eventually our bodies go through the same process and start to malfunction, breakdown, and age.

DETOX

The best way to clean a sponge is fill it with water and squeeze, or better still, fill the sponge several times with some fresh, purified herbal cleansing preparation. A good squeeze and the herbal water comes pouring out along with the grime and build up. This is exactly how we can cleanse our body and how a herbal detox cleanses and nourishes us simultaneously. Most herbs contain a complex range of health giving properties, which not only cleanse and detoxify, but heal cells, organs and tissue leaving you feeling refreshed and invigorated all-in-one fantastic process. If you feel like you could do with squeezing the human sponge of your body, then enjoy the fresh food and herbs recommended with a DETOX like my Ultimate Herbal DETOX and you will feel ready to take on the world once again. I recommend following the herbal DETOX process at least once a year, just like servicing your vehicle, or changing your kitchen sponge. Happy cleansing!!
