Hulda Clark Constipation Tea

Here’s Hulda Clark’s Constipation Tea from her book “The Cure for All Diseases“, p. 548 by Hulda Regehr Clark, PhD, N.D.

Constipation is often caused by E.Coli and Salmonella from dairy foods, or from killing “good” bowel bacteria with antibiotics (killing a few by zapping actually restores good flora).  Eat foods that restore the body’s good bowel flora:  vegetables, sterilized milk (the milk sugar is essential), lots of water.

There are a lot of remedies for constipation, but many people enjoy this tea:

1 Tablespoon senna tea leaves
1/2 tsp mint leaves.
1 quart water (4 cups)

Boil for 1 minute.  Add a dash of Vitamin C and brown sugar to taste.
Sip through the day to avoid “belly-ache”.  It can take years for the body’s flora to “right themselves” after an antibiotic session.  Be patient.

We recommend this type of constipation remedy occasionally, but for the longer term we recommend getting to the root of your constipation issues, and working with your gut, fiber, enzymes, live raw food, fermented foods, and any other way to establish good bowel movements.

Hulda Clark Liver Support Tea

I have personally done this recipe 3 times, and am on my 4th now.  I have purchased a bag of the prepared herbs.  But next time, being a Do-It-Yourselfer, I will be following this recipe below, as outlined in “Dr. Clark’s Healthy Recipes” Hulda Regehr Clark, Ph.D., N.D. Copyright 2010 New Century Press, LLC.

This is easy to prepare, and if you add a little apple or cranberry juice it tastes really good.

These liver herbs are not the same as the Liver Cleanse – which helps to remove gallstones.  Rather, these are herbs which traditionally have been used to help the liver function better.  I have only used these herbs as a cleanse, not for long periods of time.  Please consult your herbalist for more information on these herbs and how they can be used to support your own health. 

Suggested Use:
Mix all the herbs.
Add 1/2 cup) herbs to 2 quarts (8 cups) water, and bring to a boil.
Turn off the heat and cover.  Let it stand for 6 hours.
Strain, and add sweetener like honey or agave syrup if desired.
Dr. Clark suggests adding coconut cream to taste extra good!!
Drink up to 3 cups per day, or as directed by a health professional.
Freeze leftover herbs, and use one more time.
Liver Support herbs are for adults only, 16 years and over.

See Dr. Hulda Clark’s book“:The Cure for All Diseases” for sources of household poisoning and toxicity.

Why your Toxic Overload Inventory is NECESSARY,  and HOW IT AFFECTS YOUR HEALTH.

Homeostasis is a state of stability in which your health is maintained evenly and well. Your body is able to maintain a good weight level and you feel good. 

When there is an upset to your life in any way (dehydration, lack of adequate nutrients, stress, accident, toxic assault in any form, etc) your body system can go out of balance and will need correction.

If the correction is not made, symptoms will develop into chronic problems and diseases, which are then harder to reverse. e.g. inflammation of any kind (arthritis and almost all diseases), obesity, allergies, cancer, etc.

4 Lymphatic Cleanse Recipes

The Lymph system is the body’s drainage system.  The lymph system helps to pick up waste, toxins, pathogens, and even cancer cells to take back to the blood stream, for removal from the body.  It also helps distribute oxygen and nutrients to the cells of the body.  The Lymph system does not have a pump of its own.  Retaining fluid causes congestion where the nutrients do not move to the cells, and the waste is not filtered out.  

1.  Lymphatic Cleanse Bath Recipe
(from a friend, Gail)

Ingredients:
1 cup baking soda
1 cup Epsom salts (USP Grade)
Tub filled with hot water – as hot as you can comfortably soak in.

Procedure:
Soak in the tub for 20 – 30 minutes.
When you come out, relax and sweat it out.

Helps your lymphatic system, blood circulation, and skin detox.

When you get out of the tub, wrap in a blanket and let your body sweat and detox even more.

2.  Epsom Salts Cleanse Bath Recipe  
(from a mother of an autistic child)

Ingredients:
1 cup Epsom salts  (USP grade)
Tub filled with hot water – as hot as you can soak in

Procedure:
Soak in the tub for 20 – 30 minutes

This bath is a simple, effective way to supply the body with magnesium and sulphur, which are absorbed well through the skin.
It is great for autistic children in that they are generally lacking in magnesium and sulfur, and have difficulty metabolizing them.

Try this bath if you have cramps or restless leg syndrome.
Take it right before bed time.
May help with insomnia.

3.  Skin Brushing – Dry Brush Massage

Brushing your skin is both cleansing and detoxifying to your lymph system, and also increases circulation.  Brushing your skin also removes dead skin cells and debris that clogs your pores.

Some have called the lymph system the body’s “third lung”.  The lymph system works along with the kidneys and liver to flush out toxins and wastes from the body.   It does not have a pump of its own like the heart, so it needs to have exercise and induced circulation to help it to work properly.   Oxygenation from dry skin brushing and exercise makes the lymph system work.  Dry skin massage also makes a difference to the quality of the skin of your entire body.  Every time I have done this, my body feels fresh and rejuvenated.

Dry brush massage is done before you wash, bathe or shower.  Also, the brush and the skin are both dry when you do the dry brush massage.  Don’t make the mistake of trying to brush in the shower like I did!  The bristles were getting soft, and I wondered why it wasn’t working quite right!

You use a long-handled, natural bristle brush, which is usually found in the natural food store or health section of your department stores.  By the way, a long-handled dry brush makes a nice gift for a special occasion, or in a gift basket.  I received my first brush as a gift from my daughter!

A brush is a personal item, and usually not shared with other members of the family.  You need to wash the brush every few weeks.

How to brush the skin:

• Do not brush your face or other sensitive areas of your body.
• Circular brush strokes will be focused towards the heart.
• Starting at the soles of your feet, work your way up your body.
• Brush your legs, your front and your back.
• Brushing should be done as vigorously as you feel comfortable.
• Brush your hands and your arms.
• Brush your neck (back and front) and your scalp.

Why brush your skin?

• dry brushing keeps your pores open and removes dead layers of skin
• stimulates your circulation and your nerve endings
• helps to make you look and feel younger!

4.  Exercise

• Deep Breathing – Reduce stress at the same time!  Deep Breathing is great because it can act as the pump for the lymphatic system, and help in moving out the toxins and transports oxygen and nutrients to the cells.  Method:  Breathe deeply into the diaphragm.  Think – below your lungs, expanding your rib cage as you breathe in.  Hold it, then gently breathe out while you contract your rib cage to expel all the air.  Begin deep breathing again and continue for 5 minutes – every day.  I personally practice this while walking.
• Rebounding – This is useful for those who cannot walk.  A small rebounder is like a mini trampouline, and if you cannot bounce gently yourself, someone else can even bounce you as you sit on it.
• Regular Aerobic Exercise and Walking – 1/2 hour per day is great for the lymphatic system.

Other Tips for Lymphatic Cleansing

• Laughter – This is another form of deep breathing.  Watch a funny movie, invite fun friends over and really laugh, or find a way to laugh deeply and heartily.  It will help enhance blood circulation and deep diaphragm movement that will help the lymph flow.
  
• Castor Oil – Castor Oil can help the the lymph fluid to flow and help with clogged lymph nodes.  Castor oil applied topically is known for enhancing circulation and also affects tissues and organs under the skin.  Make a castor oil pack by soaking a few pieces of cloth or flannel in castor oil.  Place it on the body, cover it with a piece of plastic, and then a hot water bottle on top of that for warmth.  Leave it on for 45 minutes to 1 hour.  Areas of the body that typically respond to castor oil packs are the liver area or abdomen, painful joints like the knees or muscles, or to help digestion or constipation.  You can re-use the castor oil pack many times, but keep it in the refrigerator between uses.  Wash off the body gently after applying the castor oil pack using a diluted baking soda and water solution.
  
• Underwire or Tight Bras – avoid tight and constrictive undergarments.  Switch to sports bras and looser clothes that allow your body to breathe and lymph to flow.  When the lymph system is restricted through tight clothing the lymph system cannot move properly.  Recommended reading on this topic is the book “Dressed to Kill”.  I suggest this especially for those with breast lumps and cancer.

How do I get Heavy Metal Poisoning?

Many of our chronic diseases have now been found to have their roots in heavy metal toxicity.  Heavy metal toxicity is a condition where accumulations of poisonous metals are found in tissues and organs of the body.

Mercury and lead are some of the biggest heavy metals.  We get some through dental work (mercury amalgams), bad cookware in the kitchen (aluminum), accumulations of metals from canned foods in the kitchen, heavy metals in the makeups and skin care products (aluminum in deodorant), lead in paints, breathing polluted industrial air, etc.

Thankfully, there are some natural foods we can eat that will help to gently remove heavy metals from the body.

Studies have shown that the leaves of the coriander plant (cilantro) can help the body to excrete mercury, lead and aluminum naturally.

That is why we use it in our kitchen every chance we get.  Regarding the taste,  I have found that you either love it, or you hate it!  So ask ahead when you have visitors joining you for dinner.  The recipes below often surprise people who think they don’t like cilantro!

This delicious herb can greatly help in the detox process, and it is available in your local grocery stores all year round.

1.  Cilantro Pesto –  I have three great recipes here.  Eat 1 tablespoons 2-3 times per day.

2.  Cilantro Dressings – I have two great recipes here also.  Eat 1 tablespoons 2-3 times per day.

Parasite Cleansing Recipes

Parasites are organisms that feed on and live in another host (me and you). 

Parasites are not friendly.  They are foreign to your body. 

In their effort to survive, they live off the food you eat, and they steal your nutrition before you even get it.  Parasites thrive, lay eggs and reproduce in your body.  They secrete toxins, attach themselves to the walls of your colon, and suck your blood.  They seek out the organs of the body and areas of tissue damage, heavy metal accumulation or weakness.  They set up residence in your body, weaken your immune system and cause disease.

Parasites and their residue, along with putrefying fecal matter will be re-circulating through your body, creating a toxic and dangerous health hazard for you.  Parasites could be the big reason you are not as healthy as you would like to be.

It is most important to make sure your body is eliminating regularly while beginning your parasite cleanse.  You must be moving your bowels 1-3 times per day.  If you are not eliminating regularly, you could be recirculating dead parasites.  This is a BAD idea.

For this reason, begin at the Colon Cleanse Ideas page.  Only when your bowels are moving regularly, are you ready to begin your Parasite Cleanse.

Since this site is all about doing-it-yourself, we are limiting ourselves to items around the house or items you can purchase at the grocery store or even the health food store.  I have compiled some parasite remedies people have used around the world.  Pick some and try them out.

• Hulda Clark Herbal Parasite Program – See the 30-day Herbal Parasite Program
  
• Pumpkin Seeds – traditionally used for eliminating roundworms and tapeworms.  Chew the seeds or mash them up and mix with juice.
• Cloves – chew cloves as a breath freshener, grind in a coffee grinder and put in gel capsules.  This is part of the Hulda Clark Herbal Parasite Program.  Use in foods in the kitchen as much as possible.  Cloves have been used to kill parasite eggs in the intestinal tract
• Garlic – roast bulbs of garlic as a vegetable in the oven, add to soups and stews and stir fry, crush or mince fresh and add to avocado, and sandwich fillings, or add to homemade salad dressings.  Mix minced garlic in some butter, spread on bread and toast in the oven.
• Pineapple – contains the digestive enzyme bromelain.  A diet rich in pineapple can help to clear certain parasites such as tapeworms.
• Papaya Seeds – contain enzymes that help to digest protein.  Chew them.  They are hot as mustard seeds.  Papaya seed salad dressing tastes great.
• Anise Seeds – star anise is available in some grocery stores in the international section.  We add it to chicken and vegetable soup.  Boil up some stars in a pot of water and drink the water.
