10 methods of how to clean blood at home using folk remedies and food

Have you ever thought about how much blood flows in our body and for what? On average, a male adult has at least 5 liters of blood, and women have one liter less. A lot, if you also imagine that this entire volume must be fully pumped by the heart every minute so that the most remote parts of the body receive the necessary oxygen and nutrients in time, and get rid of toxins.

Since school, we all learned that every person has two types of blood: arterial – scarlet, purified and carrying oxygen – and venous – dark, saturated with carbon dioxide and toxins. It was this second type of blood that was so widely accepted to be taken from the vein even before Hippocrates, who already consolidated the tradition with his authority for the next more than two millennia &8212; up to the end of the XIX century - in the form of bloodletting for all types of ailments – in order to &171;free the patient from contamination in the body&187;.

The blood purification procedure has not lost its importance in our time. If indicated, clinics carry out a number of procedures for blood collection and purification, which differ in some technical details.

However, during the last century in Europe and Russia, simpler methods of blood purification with herbs and food returned to practice, the effectiveness of some of which is confirmed in scientific research . Below we will discuss how this procedure can be performed at home and why it is needed.

Who needs this procedure and why?

There are a number of conditions in which it is simply necessary to turn to blood cleansing:

1. Alcohol poisoning, even to a small extent, as well as narcotic and nicotine poisoning;
2. Frequent malaise (for no reason), headaches, chronic fatigue , impotence (in the absence of certain diagnoses, this may be a symptom of "slagged" blood, especially in people who lead a wrong lifestyle and consume harmful products);
3. Hypertensive crises (attacks of high blood pressure). These are serious cases, and the advice should be given by the attending physician, especially if the person is over 45, but a common cause is vascular obstruction, which is also treatable through cleansing;
4. Problems of the excretory system (overdose of toxins in the body overloads the liver and kidneys);
5. Varicose veins.

Please note that people who lead a healthy lifestyle, consume natural products, abstain from bad habits, and especially those who truly adhere to religious fasts throughout the year, or at least regular fasts (for example, one-day juice fasts or only fruit and vegetable days), are unlikely they will feel the need to resort to both inpatient blood purification services and multi-day home procedures.

The conclusion is that Healthy lifestyle and proper food is the best recipe for preserving pure blood. Well, for people belonging to the rest of humanity, it's time to learn about the medicinal properties of available and exotic products and herbs that can be periodically used to purify blood at home.

Preparation of the body

Blood is a liquid that absorbs all the products of our body's processing. And now mentally conduct an experiment. There are two riverbeds: one covered with clean pebbles, and the second with garbage. Both have water flowing from the same source. Which channel will deliver clean water to the sea, and which one will deliver polluted water? It's easy to guess.

Therefore, even before cleaning the "liquid" in our body (and this is the literal translation of the ancient Indo–European prototypes of the word "blood" in many languages), it is necessary to clean the banks and riverbed - that is, the body, namely the stomach and intestines, after all, most of the "sewage" comes through food .

Even people who lead a healthy lifestyle, before one-day fasting, it is necessary to limit themselves to light food in the second half of the previous day, and also not overload the stomach immediately the next day. As experienced healthy lifestyle instructors say: "you need to gently enter and gently exit a hunger strike."

As for those who are used to not limiting themselves in ordinary life, they it is necessary to abstain from for a few days# :

1. Nicotine (and any other narcotic drugs);
2. Of alcohol;
3. Fatty, spicy, salty, fried;
4. Carbonated water, any energy drinks;
5. Sweet, flour, fast food and overeating in general.

It is known that nicotine and alcohol toxins enter directly into the bloodstream, and remain there for many hours (after a single alcohol intake) and even days (with constant smoking). Toxins from food also linger in the body for a long time (intoxication is the cause of frequent headaches, malaise without illness, "withdrawal").

If you don't abstain for a few days and abruptly put the body on the rails of purification, the concentration of highly toxic poisons in the blood will be very high, and in the absence of the usual nutrients, this will lead to unbearable headaches, dizziness, pressure surges. Everything can very easily end in hospitalization.

10 proven folk remedies

Vegetables, fruits and nuts are not the only ones known for their cleansing qualities. In folk medicine, the use of medicinal herbs, root crops, the bark of some trees and even needles is popular. Below is a list of the most effective methods that will help clean the blood in the human body without harm to health.

1. Beetroot juice

The red color of beetroot itself indicates its healing properties for blood. It is known that all products of red and black-red color have a positive effect on the state of the circulatory system: cranberries, raspberries, currants (black and red), blueberries, viburnum, rosehip, strawberries, watermelon, pomegranate, sweet mulberry fruits, blackberries, red cabbage, red grapes, red figs and others.

With regular use of beetroot in the form of juices and in recipes, the complexion will always be healthy (this feature was noted by the ancient Arab traveler Ibn Fadlan, who visited Ancient Russia in the 10th century and left memories of a particularly healthy red complexion of the Russians "because of the beetroot consumed"). Already in our time, a case of curing a child from leukemia has been recorded due to the fact that every morning his mother gave him fresh beet juice on an empty stomach.

It is beetroot juice (can be combined with carrot, apple, and celery) on an empty stomach, helps to remove toxins and bile from the blood during the week , thanks to which you will feel a surge of strength, the skin of the face will be rejuvenated, headaches and other ailments will recede).

To make juice, take:

1. A large head of beetroot (choose from juicy, red varieties);
2. 2-3 tablespoons granulated sugar.

In the morning, squeeze the whole mass thoroughly in several layers of gauze – you should get about half a glass. It should not be diluted with water. Drink on an empty stomach, and then take nothing but water for 2 hours.

2. A mixture of walnuts

Cleansing with walnuts is a more gentle method for the stomach and pancreas. Do you remember the fairy tale "Three nuts for Cinderella"? The magical properties of all nuts have been known to folk wisdom for a long time.

But tender walnuts are especially useful for blood. They increase the elasticity of blood vessels and other tissues, which relieves general fatigue, relieves leg pain and headaches.

It is easy to prepare the drug - peeled nuts are crushed (you can use a meat grinder, but to preserve their useful properties, it is better to use special wooden mortars). Store the resulting mass in the refrigerator and take a tablespoon every morning on an empty stomach. The course lasts for a month. It will take about a kilogram of peeled nuts.

3. Garlic tincture

Garlic has tremendous resistance to bacteria.

To make sure, do a home experiment: divide the carrots of the first freshness into two parts. Put one in one box by yourself, and pour the other with unpeeled fresh garlic and put it in another container. Leave it at room temperature.

After a few days (depending on the season, climate and humidity in the apartment), carrots "without protection" will naturally deteriorate. Sprinkled with garlic, it can be in a cardboard or special plastic box for vegetables for up to three months (at a cool temperature and low humidity).

This is how you can clearly make sure that garlic essential oils do not allow microbes to even get close to a protected object. The same thing happens to the body of a person who regularly uses garlic in food, at least a clove in borscht. The best way to digest this vegetable in combination with other products is for a gentle effect on the stomach and pancreas.

There is a well-known saying that "Our ancestors smelled of onions and garlic from their mouths, but their bodies reeked of health." Of course, with regular use, the unpleasant smell of this antioxidant should be taken into account, so it is more logical to eat dishes with it in the evening and at home.

For tincture, you need to:

1. Chop a few cloves of garlic;
2. Peel and stone three or four large lemons, chop them in a blender;
3. Mix lemon with garlic;
4. Add boiled water to a liter;

4. Homemade lemonade

"Lemon therapy" can be carried out with the help of lemon alone, with the addition of sugar, water and aromatic distillates (the latter is not necessary). Lemonade made with your own hands is an excellent natural way cleansing of blood vessels and blood from cholesterol, excretion of salts, toning up and increasing immunity.

Is prepared as follows:

1. Take a kilogram of lemons with a thick yellow skin (the one that goes on a cake grater).
2. Wash the lemons, cut into large slices, put them in a bowl, pour 1.5 cups of sugar and knead, crush, squeeze this mass with clean hands (or in cooking gloves) for 15 minutes. Make sure that the sugar dissolves in the released juice, and the syrup is formed.
3. Carefully through a colander, preferably plastic (vitamin C is destroyed from contact with metal), strain the resulting mass.
4. Part of the pulp from the insides can be left – this will add fiber.
5. Top up with ice-cold drinking water to a liter.

The best addition is the one that is made in Lebanon. Bottles of rose water and bitter orange blossom water have become available from distributors of Arabic products. Add a tablespoon of both to the resulting lemonade, sweeten a little more if necessary – but not much, so as not to reduce the benefits of vitamin C. The effect of distillate &8212; as well as alcohol &8212; their essential oils help to effectively absorb the beneficial elements of the drink.

Keep lemonade in the refrigerator and drink it like a regular tonic juice before eating, it is better at lunchtime, as vitamin C raises the tone, and there may be problems falling asleep. If there are no stomach problems, you can constantly take this healing elixir, and your health will not let you down.

5. Ginger tea

This amazing drug originally from southeastern countries has long been used in Europe and Russia as a spice and ingredient in many anti-inflammatory drugs. Japanese sushi lovers always use its thinly sliced pickled slices as an additive.

In powder form, ginger is an excellent addition to chicken, and in grated form it is traditionally "Asian–style" added with garlic when frying shrimp. However, if you buy one or two fresh plant roots in the summer and just freeze them in the refrigerator, you will have a magic remedy for many diseases at hand all year round.

The mechanism of action of the root occurs precisely through the purification of the bloodstream and lymph. Also ginger is extremely good for the heart . Tea from it has a burning – sharp taste, but this sharpness, unlike that of chili pepper, for example, does not hurt the mucous membranes, and in moderate doses can be tolerated even by children. Besides, ginger dilutes the blood .  You will immediately feel how quickly the heated blood will run through the vessels how your face will turn red and your heart will actively work. In terms of effect, it resembles only a good ski run in the cold or a Russian bathhouse.

There are several ways to prepare a healing drink. In cold Russia, it is more common to drink hot tea either only from ginger, or green or black tea with its addition.

1. To make tea, cut off a small piece from the frozen root with a knife with cloves, cut, peel and grate on a plastic grater (without rubbing).
2. Place in a stainless steel or enameled turk and bring to a boil.
3. At the moment of boiling, you need to be close, since ginger forms a copious foam that can "escape".
4. Moderate the heat and simmer for about 3 more minutes. It should not be anymore, since vitamins are destroyed, of which ginger also has a whole storehouse, especially vitamin C.
5. Add fresh lemon juice and a teaspoon of mountain honey to the finished tea, preferably black.

The recipe from Arab doctors following the Sunnah is the preparation of a morning tonic drink from ginger in the evening without using boiling.

1. Peeled and grated fresh (thawed) ginger should simply be poured with drinking (not boiled) water at room temperature and left in a closed glass container (a juice bottle will do) overnight.
2. Shake the yellowed drink in the morning and drink a glass every morning.

The amount of ginger can be adjusted, depending on your tolerance to spicy. You can take the course for about a week, a month, or you can not stop at all, but on hot summer days it is still better to give up this drink, since it makes the blood too hot, and lemonade is better suited in the heat.

Hot ginger tea will warm you up as well as possible on cold winter days; you will stop suffering from freezing limbs, as the heated blood will penetrate into the most distant capillaries.

It is important to remember that ginger is contraindicated for gastritis and other gastrointestinal diseases, cardiovascular problems, as well as during pregnancy (it can cause miscarriage).

5. Medicinal herbal preparations

In Russia, nettle, St. John's wort, celandine, chamomile, milk thistle, dandelion, wormwood, honeydew, bay leaf have been used for centuries to cleanse the body.

Pour a tablespoon of dry collection, which includes any of these plants, with boiling water, place in an enameled dish and put in a water bath for 15 minutes. The decoction should be taken half a glass in the morning and evening for 10 days (instead of tea or coffee).

As an effect, you will notice normalization of the digestive tract, pressure, nervous system, improvement of heart function, improvement of general well-being.

7. The Asian way

Asian way of daily Blood Cleansing &8212; this is simple drinking water . Moreover, the Chinese even have boiled water. About the benefits of water for the cardiovascular system has been known for a long time.

If you have ever communicated with real Chinese, especially from eastern China, you probably noticed that even the most modern ones will not start the day without a cup of plain boiling water. They drink it before any tonic drink, and you can say that this is their morning coffee.

Hot clean water quickly removes toxins accumulated overnight from the digestive organs and transfers them to the blood, which also quickly carries them to the excretory organs, even before any food arrives. Also plain water is extremely important for the brain .

8. Cactus fruits and cactus juice

In Russia, cactus juice is still an exotic drink, and it can only be purchased ready-made, which means with preservatives and additives.

But if you get to the Mediterranean in August, be sure to buy the peeled yellow-purple fruits of these giant fleshy cacti, which are called "souber" in Arabic, from street vendors. The fruits are very tasty to eat in their pure form, because of the sugars they contain.

Fresh juice from souber is not stored for a long time and oxidizes quickly. It is very useful for seasonal cleansing of the intestines from parasites and toxins.

Foreign and domestic research in recent years indicates powerful antioxidant properties of cactus fruits (see Knyshinsky's book "Pear–shaped cactus - prickly healer"). However, &171;pear-shaped&187; is not the cactus itself &8212; for its leaves are wide, flat and slightly fleshy &8212; typical inhabitants of rocky mountain areas. Pear-shaped fruits are not attractive in appearance (maybe that's why children don't like to eat them).

Suggestions are made about cactus juice as a substitute for traditional chemotherapy in cancer patients. In Europe and America, the benefits of this juice are known to cleanse the blood of alcohol toxins. There are no restrictions on the use of juice, except for pancreatic diseases, colitis and diabetes mellitus. You should not drink more than a glass of freshly squeezed juice at a time, as an abundance of seeds can lead to diarrhea with the leaching of nutrients from the body.

9. Olive oil

It is impossible not to mention this powerful and currently available overseas antioxidant, but for medicinal purposes it is necessary use only the highest grade "Virginia" because of its acid saturation .

A simple recipe helps to get rid of cholesterol in the blood with prolonged use and adherence to an appropriate diet. On an empty stomach, take a tablespoon of Virginia oil every morning, and refrain from eating for an hour.

Olive oil strengthens the heart and blood vessels . It also has a beneficial effect on the stomach and intestines, being a natural disinfectant and anti-inflammatory agent.

10. Birch sap and Russian bath

It is not necessary to get carried away with exotic cleansing products, since the nature of Russia has given us incomparable birch trees with their truly magical healing juice, which craftsmen collect in early spring (at the end of March &8212; early April).

You can buy juice fresh and canned, in cans and cardboard bags, and you can learn the collection procedure yourself and go out every spring to stock up on 2-3 liters of the elixir of purity.

A glass of juice on an empty stomach for a week &8212; a wonderful folk remedy for seasonal cleansing of the body.

And don't forget about the Russian bathhouse with a good birch broom, because a huge amount of toxins comes out through the open pores, and with them the disease!

Medications

1. Regidron. It is the most popular drug among people suffering from hangovers because of its availability and effectiveness. It is prescribed for diarrhea from severe alcohol poisoning. A bag of rehydrone is dissolved in a liter of water and taken during the day. The absorbent effect of the drug cleanses the body of toxins, while simultaneously returning the necessary liquid and salts to it.
2. Polysorb . A very mild absorbent, prescribed even for children. It is useful for any food or drug poisoning, overeating and excessive flatulence. Adults are prescribed a tablespoon (0.1-0.2 g per kg of body) of powder per half cup of boiled water two to three times a day, until the symptoms of intoxication disappear.
3. Enterosgel . It is prescribed for adults with acute alcohol and food poisoning. The dosage is 1 – 1.5 tbsp.l. three times a day an hour or two after meals.
4. Activated carbon. It is a natural and very popular fast-acting antioxidant in everyday life. Charcoal tablets can be used for any allergic, food or drug poisoning. In small doses, it is allowed in pregnant women to reduce metabolism. A dose of 250 to 750 mg is usually indicated 3-4 times a day, but in each case the dosage should be calculated individually. This is a potent drug, so the gastrointestinal tract is at risk.

Among the medications, echinacea and burdock root extract can also be useful.

Stationary methods

In clinics, you can undergo faster, more effective and expensive procedures that are prescribed when:

• Severe poisoning, especially with heavy metals and radioactive substances;
• Acute alcohol poisoning or for treatment of addiction;
• Drug poisoning and addiction;
• Severe food poisoning;
• Chronic diseases requiring effective blood purification, especially for patients who are unable to follow a diet;
• In order to help the patient switch to a diet, freeing him from temptations, thanks to blood purification.

How exactly can I clean the blood in the clinic? Among the main clinical procedures, the following can be distinguished:

1. Plasmapheresis. This is the most effective method of blood cleansing, during which the patient's plasma is replaced with a donor plasma within 24 &8212; 48 hours in 2-3 doses. The blood is subjected to preliminary separation into components and processing in saline solutions. The blood returned to the patient is 30-35% purified of toxins. Therefore, it is recommended to undergo at least 5 courses of therapy.
2. Laser . The so-called "intravenous laser irradiation of blood" has proven itself very well. This method is based on the effect of quantum energy in electromagnetic radiation. Under the influence of radiation, the independent antioxidant function of the blood is activated, its protective mechanisms are enhanced, and metabolism is normalized. After the first session, the patient experiences relief of all symptoms, facilitates going to bed, and normalizes the work of the heart and nervous system.
3. Hemosorption . This method uses activated carbon and ion exchange salts as chemical reagents. It is indicated for acute poisoning, especially alcohol poisoning. During the procedure, the patient's blood is driven through absorbent filters, getting rid of toxins and, already purified, returns to the vessels. The effect comes instantly. This method is also recommended for dangerous acute respiratory infections, skin diseases, and high cholesterol.

Conclusion

Blood, like any liquid, has high absorbent properties, since its task is to cleanse the body of toxins and supply cells with pure oxygen and nutrients. Even people who lead a healthy lifestyle are exposed to the harmful effects of the environment and are not immune from household and food poisoning.

Therefore, it is useful to regularly use all available foods that help remove toxins from the blood, as well as periodically carry out natural cleansing procedures. In this case, you are unlikely to have to resort to expensive stationary measures. However, always keep activated charcoal or polysorb in your home medicine cabinet – and be healthy!
