If you wanted to clean out a system, you would make sure the drainage and means for the waste to exit was open and flowing properly. And yet we rarely do this with our bodies. We start targeting our organs or doing drastic things without making sure our elimination works properly. Not a good move!!!
If the means for flushing is clogged and damaged, there will be far more discomfort, flushing through the skin, and stress on other organs. I know it’s not fun to talk about, but bowel movements are everything if you want to reset your health.
They should be frequent, they should be effective, they shouldn’t cause discomfort, and they are crucial for breaking down years of build up on your “pipes” from anything else.
Suppressed emotions also store in our colons causing even more backup and stress to the system. This can make it difficult to release waste even when good things are being put into the body.
One place we often see this backup is with the skin! Your skin is like a window to your insides. If you don’t open the lines of proper elimination from the bowels, the skin will erupt as a desperate cry for help. You can sometimes find topical relief for that eruption, but the only cure is internal. So many continue to slap things on the skin, never addressing the internal cry for help.
In short, we absolutely have to make sure this pathway is operating before we cleanse.
Some of our favorite ways to open elimination pathways are with some key Young Living products:
- Digest & Cleanse Softgels: These softgels are good for everyday, ongoing use and help the body open pathways and eliminate waste. Digest & Cleanse supports healthy digestion and soothes GI upset caused by stress, overeating, and toxins. It helps soothe the bowel, prevent gas, and stimulate stomach secretions, aiding digestion.
- Detox Baths with Lime: Grab some magnesium flakes and Lime and Orange essential oil and get ready to soak! Make sure the water is really warm, then add 10 drops each of Lime and Orange to 1 cup of magnesium flakes in a glass jar. Place the jar under the running water and let it flow into the tub. Sit for 40 minutes or more! The first 20 is to sweat and remove toxins, and the second 20 is to allow time for your body to absorb the magnesium and oil! Lime is a bioflavonoid that helps your body detox and remove unwanted materials. Orange has lots of limonene which is great for the immune system.
- Essentialzyme: This multienzyme caplet provides your body with digestive enzymes that help break down things in the gut, improve digestive health, enzyme activity, and pancreatic function while reducing pancreatic stress. Taken between meals, this is a necessary daily supplement to help us break down the buildup in clogged pipes.
