The Wild Rose Herbal D-Tox program is designed to help your body eliminate toxic material from the deeper tissue layers where they tend to accumulate over time.

By detoxifying on a regular basis, usually during the spring and fall each year, your body's channels of elimination (colon, lymphatic system, kidney and liver) and metabolic processes are able to function more efficiently.

During the first few days of the D-Tox, most people will start to feel its effects. Remember that months, maybe years, of toxicities are being released and are circulating throughout your body. For this reason, there are some "normal" reactions that almost everyone will notice, which gradually disappear after four to five days. Some of these reactions may include: increased bowel activity and urination, mild feelings of nausea, mild headache and other flu-like symptoms, muscle aching, irritability, or an existing condition (such as skin problem or arthritis) may initially get worse before it gets better.

Your cleansing reaction depends on how much toxin removal occurs. This is individual (for some, the reactions are very mild) and should lessen every time you cleanse. Once the initial phase of toxin removal has occurred, the rewarding benefits of cleansing will ensure. For most, the 12-day D-Tox marks a dramatic increase in energy and feeling of well-being.

The diet associated with this program is extremely important. During the cleansing period, you may eat as much as you want, but your choice of foods in very significant. The Wild Rose Herbal D-Tox Kit includes a detailed meal plan which includes the exclusion of certain foods.

Foods not acceptable during the D-Tox include:

Flour products are not recommended during this program because, when mixed with water, flour forms a glue-like substance. This glue-like substance has a tendency to stick to the lining of the intestinal tract and plug-up the system. During a cleanse (especially), one should eliminate those foods which place an extra burden on elimination.

Peanuts must be avoided as they contain naturally-occurring yeasts and molds. Ridding the body of excess yeast is one of the functions of the herbal D-tox. The rest of the nut family is acceptable, and many peorple who enjoy peanut butter on toast find almond butter on rice cakes to be a good substitute.

All fermented foods are to be avoided due to the fact that yeast is a major ingredient in these foods. This means no wine, beer, vinegar, soy sauce, black tea or miso. It strongly recommended to not consume alcohol of any type during this program.

Completing 12 days of the Herbal D-Tox can be a milestone in personal health achievements. It may also be a time to consider changes in your lifestyle and regular eating habits, and to think about future goals for personal health management. You may want to continue the with the meal plan if you are feeling much improved. If you wish to reintroduce some of the 'not recommended' foods, begin to eat each type of food one at a time and on different days.

Detoxification is the process of filtering wastes and toxins from the cells, organs, and the bloodstream. Cleansing is the process of eliminating these toxins form the body. When these two processes function normally, optimal heath is possible. A good detoxification program uses a combination of herbs and nutrients that work to support the body's natural detoxification processes. While it is important to ensure that all channels of elimination are functioning properly, the liver is of special importance. It is the body's largest filter of toxins and one of its most vital organs.

In today's world we are exposed to an innumerable amount of toxins, they're in our food, air, water, in the workplace and even at home. Proper elimination of these toxins is critical to maintaining optimal health and well being. The human body does an incredible job of eliminating harmful wastes, however over time toxins can accumulate, leading to an overwhelmed digestive system. When the digestive system becomes unable to efficiently eliminate toxins we become overloaded with toxins and this may set the stage for future disease and illness.
