Yes, even you, yoga veggie Kombucha drinking folks.
No matter what you eat or how organic it is advertised, it is still mass produced by some enormous corporation. Unless you grow your own or buy your food and herbs straight from an organic farmer and have a well in your apartment, you are eating and drinking something that is toxicing your system.
Also, do I need to mention the air you are breathing. Think about all of those yogic breaths every morning while you practice at the Midtown yoga studio.... Just saying.
Ok now for all you Wholefoods (I am one) freaks screaming from the inside and ready to stop reading this blog post, what are you bathing with?
Do you make your soaps, shampoo and conditioner from your own organically grow ingredients? Again... Just saying.
The restaurant you just had your organic green salad and lemon grass tea probably doesn't use industrial cleaners or have toxins in the paint on the walls or the finish on the wooden tables either. At this point do you get my point?
Whether you are a meat eaten, beer guzzling no going outside for exercise other than getting your mail, or super in shape organic granola yoga cruncher. You are exposed to and are ingesting toxins into your body and into,your blood stream.
None of us are bullet proof.
And who am I? you may ask, sitting here on my high horse? I am just like you. Whether it is the meat eating beer guzzler, chain smoking American Spirits or when I am a yoga teacher vegetarian living at an ashram and sober, I am just as exposed and vulnerable.
Even after we move to our land in New Mexico and develope our farm and camping venue away from most of society, by the way, we will be growing our own food and do, have a well and clean air, I will be exposed and vulnerable. Now that we have that out of our systems, lets talk about an amazing herb that Mother Nature has provided for us as a natural blood purifier.
I first used this herb when I was living on the Big Island of Hawaii. Every Sunday I would go to the Makuu Farmers Market to buy all of the delicious hydroponic veggies grown on the Hamakua Coast. Once my face was recognized and conversations took place, I was accepted as part of the Clan. (Was later given honorary Hawaiian status by Uncle Kaliko!)). Some of the local Aunties had terrible soars on the lower legs, and knowing that I was the Herb Doctor they asked that I help. I was more than willing to oblige their request. I loved them so, taking me into their tribe and treating me as family and all. After asking a series of questions about their diet, exercise, living situations I surmised that the skin lesions were a results of internal issues rather than a topical skin issue. It would take a power herb to punch those infectious wounds right the hell out. Enter the powerhouse Burdock.
I also made a tincture ointment for the external use (recipe below) ...and let me tell you what happened next....
In the next few Sunday's Auntie's legs began to heal. She also told me she felt more energy! The other Aunties wanted what she had. So I made huge batches of Burdock tea and gave it to them. Wounds were healed and blood was cleaned. It really was that simple.
Burdock is one of the best blood purifiers. It can also reduce swelling on joints and help rid calcification deposits. Burdock promotes healthy kidney function to help clear our blood of harmful acids. Burdock helps to metabolism carbohydrates with inulin, a form of starch. Other uses for Burdock is when mixed with Sassafras and used as a tea it can soothe our hypothalamus gland and it aids the pituitary gland. It helps to release an ample supply of protein to adjust hormone balance in our bodies. Pretty damned cool wouldn't you say. Just so you know... A healthy pituitary gland helps in regulating weight...
While living in Atlanta and working at a local Health Food Store I also suggested Burdock tea to another gentleman that had a poor diet, overweight and skin issues. We as with the Hawaiian Aunties, surmised an internal issue rather than a topical issue. He drank 2 cups of Burdock tea a day for a month and his skin healed. He also was inspired to eat better and put in a little exercise. This power from Mother Nature is real y'all.
To make a Burdock tea simple take the dried root 2 teaspoons to 8oz of hot water and enjoy.
The topical I made was a mixture of Burdock root, tea tree and golden seal. It is used as a poltice on the wounds.
Burdock hair rinses can be made to help with dandruff.
Burdock tea can be used as a mouth rinse for canker sores.
This herb is also used in Hoodoo magic.
You can sprinkle the dried root around your house to keep negativity away.
Wearing a necklace of dried Burdock root will protect against evil.
