The Best Medicinal Herbs to Naturally Detox Your Body

Have you been feeling heavy lately? The spring is the perfect time to naturally detox your body with medicinal herbs and renew your physical self in sync with nature.

“Detox” and “cleanse” are popular buzz words, but the truth is that your body doesn’t need any restrictive diets or “detox protocols” to flush out harmful toxins, pollutants, and other chemicals from your system. What it needs is natural support.

Medicinal herbs gently help your body do its job and promote healthy detoxification, helping you feel and look your best. And here are eight medicinal herbs to naturally detox your body, hand-picked by a certified herbalist.

Dandelion Root

In the modern world, your liver has to work very hard to filter out toxins that enter your body with food, pollution, and even beauty products. Dandelion root naturally supports your liver, helping it protect your body from harmful substances.

How? Dandelion Root contains polysaccharides that can purify and protect the liver, helping it remove harmful substances from your system. Scientific studies have confirmed what natural healers have known for centuries: Dandelion Root is a magical addition to your wellness routine if you want to naturally improve liver health.

Try Dandelion Root in Herbalista’s Liver Detox Tincture Blend!

Burdock Root

Your liver doesn’t work alone to cleanse your body. Your body’s detoxification system includes the kidneys, the lymphatic system, and even your skin, and all of these organs need natural support to perform their best. One of the most powerful medicinal herbs to naturally detox your body, Burdock root can support your lymphatic system, skin, and kidneys to help them cleanse your body better.

Chlorella

Chlorella is a single-celled green alga that lives in fresh water. It contains a large amount of chlorophyll, the substance that makes plants green and carries oxygen. Chlorella is a magical way to support the health of your blood and make it more efficient at detoxifying your body. It can help eliminate toxic waste, heavy metals, and even radiation from the body.

Incorporating chlorella into your wellness routine is also a fantastic way to support your digestive system and gut health. Get a shot with Chlorella from the Alchemy Bar in Cabarete and give your health a green boost!

Spirulina

Another type of algae, spirulina is not only incredibly nutritious, but also helps to detoxify the body from heavy metals such as Mercury. Toxic heavy metals enter your body with food or from the environment and tend to accumulate over time. Spirulina’s structure allows it to easily absorb them, promoting detoxification & wellness. Find Spirulina and Chlorella in the Emerald Cleanse herbal supplement.

Fennel

If you’ve been feeling bloated or constipated, Fennel is a fantastic herb for a gut cleanse.

What is the best way to incorporate Fennel into your detox routine? Naturally support your digestive health with this simple Ayurvedic Wise Water recipe:

1 tbsp coriander seed powder

1 tbsp fennel seed powder

1 tbsp cumin seed powder

1 L of boiled water

Brew for 15 minutes. Drink 4 cups per day for one month.

Wise Water can reduce bloating & gas, cleanse your gut from toxins, and flush out rotten food.

Turmeric

Turmeric is one of the best herbs to naturally detox your body. Its main antioxidant, curcumin, may support your liver and lower inflammation, boosting your overall health.

Because of its bright yellow color, turmeric can get messy. Herbalista’s Golden Mylk is a delicious way to support good digestion, improve liver function, and encourage a healthy inflammatory response. Simply add 1 teaspoon to your plant milk of choice or hot water, blend on high, and sip in bliss.

Calendula

“Calendula” comes from Latin and means “the first day of the month.” If you’re looking to give your body a fresh start, can any other name be more appropriate?

Calendula is a great herb if you’re struggling with a leaky gut. It also promotes liver health and helps to control candida overgrowth. Enjoy Calendula in Herbalista’s Detoxify Me! Herbal Tea Blend and or the Skin Glow Tea Blend and heal naturally!

4 Reasons Why Cabarete Should Be Your Next Wellness Destination

Have you ever felt the urge to change your location to heal your body and soul? More and more people are saying “no” to mindless vacations and are starting to explore wellness travel, putting the needs of their bodies and minds before what society defines as “fun.”

Cabarete, Dominican Republic, is the ultimate wellness destination for those who want to heal and transform their health. And here are four reasons why.

Wellness Destination for Your Body

Cabarete is a watersports mecca, but the ways you can get active in Cabarete are not only physical. Surfers, kitesurfers, yogis, or beach walk enthusiasts come to this small town in the Caribbean from all over the world to enjoy the magic of moving your body to the rhythms of nature. Heal your physical wounds through your soul with intentional movement together with the waves, the wind, and the sun.

If you feel heavy in your body, struggle with an upset stomach, or experience chronic stress and anxiety, the problem may be in your gut. Cabarete is rich with fresh fruits and vegetables, local fish and seafood, and Caribbean superfoods – cacao, cassava, and soursop. Fuel your body with what it needs to thrive, and watch it love you back.

Wellness Destination for Your Soul

If your soul craves intimate interaction with nature, but you live in a big city and rarely get to honor this desire, Cabarete is blessed with access to beautiful beaches and a lush tropical forest. Wander on empty secret beaches of Encuentro and take a nap in the shade of its trees or explore the National Park El Choco with its fresh lagoons, ancient caves, and wild plants.

Sleep in nature, too. Eco-positive hotels in Cabarete like Natura Cabana offer wellness-centered stays that will make you feel connected to the Earth.

Wellness Destination for Your Mind

You don’t have to embark on your wellness journey alone. Cabarete is a tight-knit community of locals and ex-pats who once came here to heal – and never left again. Wisdom and gentle love get shared in restaurants over a hearty meal or walking down the beach.

If you’re looking for someone to guide you on your wellness journey, find the person who gets you on Thrive Cabarete, a local health & wellness community. You can browse the Cabarete Healing Network and discover holistic health practitioners, artisans, and healthy places to eat. If you want to know what wellness events are going on in Cabarete, check out the Cabarete Community Event Calendar.

Wellness Destination for Holistic Healing

It’s impossible to truly heal if you think about your health as a destination instead of an intimate relationship with yourself as a whole.

You can’t heal your body without healing your soul and your mind.

Your mind can’t thrive if your body and soul aren’t balanced.

And your soul can’t open if your body and mind are hurting.

Working with a holistic herbalist is a powerful way to heal your body, mind, and soul deeply & naturally.

Cabarete is home to a holistic herbalist, Alita Akashi, but you don’t have to come to Alita’s Apothecary in Cabarete to work with her! She offers personalized 1:1 coaching online to work through physical, mental, and spiritual blocks and naturally transform your health into a sustainable relationship with your body, mind, and spirit.
