Cleaning Up (Out)

It’s mid November 2008 nearly, already. Things have been busy, and not so very interesting to write about, at least not on this blog, and not much on my other either. At any rate, the thing I’m writing about now is something I’ve started and am going further with beginning today.

It’s a detox program for the bowels, something that everyone should actually do more often than never, but doubtfully a lot of people never really do it. It’s a natural version I’m doing and the first step is to make everything work normally as it should be all the time, but isn’t for me exactly and then the next step is the cleaning. This is a gross subject, I won’t go into detail, but I wanted to write about it since it’s the first line of defense in the body, also the offense. This is something I’ve thought about for some years, and didn’t want to do anything about it until I found a natural herbal way to do it that was easy enough.

Detoxing the major organs is important and can be done once the bowels are first detoxed. It is supposed to make one have more energy and lose some inches in the stomach area as well just for starters with this first detox, then other things can be done to get more healthy results, and feel better than ever in years. For me, I’m hoping to alleviate migraines, or at least limit them, and also get hormones naturally flowing for what my body should be doing, and have some positive impact on allergies or my response to things that cause congestion and misery, at least.

Also then, any sort of this detoxing does make meds work better, since the body isn’t full of stuff it shouldn’t be.

Detoxing should be a regular thing, and eating better. I do believe in whole foods eating, I’m not into it as much as I’d prefer, but it’s something I try to do the best I can in, with the limited energy and money that I have to use. I’ve not been a high energy person my entire life. I had more as a child, of course, most children are full of energy, aren’t they? 😉 I have four of them that have proved that. As they get older their personalities come out more and being an introvert myself I see it in two of my children, they get a bit more low-energied as they get older. One of my children in an extrovert and he has boundless energy. It’s something I’ve thought about for so many years, how to get energy. If something inspires me to action I do have a lot of energy, but it’s costly to my body. I’m hoping I can prove out that it’s helpful to do this detox and actually feel a bit younger again. I don’t want to be younger again, only not feel older than I have to, with the capacity to actually feel better at any age than the “non-healthy-eater/non-detoxer.”

I do want to do this because I’m so very sensitive to the environment, chemicals, smells, all sorts of things, and if my appetite improves, sensitivities de-sensitize a tad, that would be wonderful. I wasn’t always so much as I am now. When I was young I felt good, just hated itchy things, so I was sensitive, but that sort of thing got worse for me as I got older, and I had some sort of headaches in my later elementary years, and then when I was 16 I started having what many years later I found out were migraines. It is probably semi-hormone related, but semi-intestinal in some way, and other toxins related that are in the body from contact, ingestion, etc. Cleaning things up will be a start. I have a good tinticure for females that I’ve never opened, and I’ll do things in stages, bowels first, and see how that helps, and then there are some other tinticures for other needs that can aide fighting against migraines, for one, and aide my generally well-being as a female member of the human race.

So that’s what I’m up to of late. It’s all week, then we’ll see how things are. I have to drink a lot of water everyday with the herbal formula. I feel like I’ll float away on a raging river, thinking about it from this side of the experience. 😉
