The Herbal Corner

The home colonic is designed to wash and clean out and empty the entire colon or the large intestines. You can do this at home and it is easy. You must first purchase at the drug store a hot water bottle with the enema / douche attachments.

Fill the water bottle with distilled water at room temperature. Elevate the water bottle about 1 foot above you. Lie on the floor or in the bathtub with a pillow wrapped in a plastic garbage bag under your bottom to elevate. Also put some old towels on the floor in case you leak water or fecal matter.

Begin by lying on your back, greasing the rectum and enema attachment (before inserting open the clip so the air runs out of the hose) inserting it into the rectum and introducing about 8-16 oz of water. You will probably cramp and need to immediately expel this in the toilet. You may have to repeat this 2-3 times just to get the fecal matter out of the descending colon.

Next fill the enema bag again and lie on your left side and let the water into your sigmoid and descending colon. You may feel some cramping, but shut off the water and take deep breaths, relax and wait until the cramping subsides. Try to introduce as much water as possible before having to expel it.

Fill the descending colon with as much water as possible (you may have to pull the enema out and refill the bag) and then roll over onto your back so the water travels across the transverse colon. Have the pillow under you bottom to elevate you as much as possible.

You want to keep the water flowing at this point and roll over to your right side so the water enters you ascending colon. When you feel full of water stop and lie there. You want to elevate your bottom as high as possible; you may massage your colon to release old fecal matter.

After 5 minutes get up on the toilet. You may find nothing comes out, just relax and do some deep breathing. The more you relax the more water and fecal matter will come out. Now at this point you may want to start the enema procedure all over again!!! You won’t have to do the rectal flushes; your body will accept a high enema immediately the first time.

After you have emptied all the water out of the colon you must introduce an implant. An implant replaces lost minerals or soothes irritated tissues. The best is wheat grass using 3-4 ounces and leaving it in the colon. Other herbs you can use include red clover, chaparral, barley grass, liquid chlorophyll and aloe vera gel (for colitis). The implants will be absorbed directly into the colon and are not to be expelled.

Our skin is the only organ that we can see. It is the barometer that will reveal how healthy we are on the inside. Our skin is our covering and it should be soft, supple, glowing and free of blemishes.

Skin is a reflection of your diet. To have good skin you must have an all-natural diet and that means the food God created for us. “Food” like white flour, refined sugar or chemicals, are not part of an all natural diet, but are poisons to the body, if you cannot pronounce it do not eat it. Fruits and vegetables will produce the healthiest skin and the more raw food in the diet the greater you will glow.

Dry skin brushing is essential. You can purchase a skin brush at most health food stores or spas. Please make sure you get natural bristles no synthetics. Skin brushing exfoliates the skin and removes all those dead cells so that your skin can breathe and circulation is increased. Brush your skin every day before you shower. Stand in the shower and starting at the feet, brush up towards the heart in a circular motion. Lift up you arms and brush down and in towards your heart. If you really want to see the effect of dry skin brushing put a dark garbage bag or a black towel on the shower floor. You will be surprised at all the dead cells that come off!

Another extremely important factor in healthy skin is what you are putting on your skin. If you cannot ingest it do not put it on your skin. Use only all natural oils such as almond, coconut, grape seed oil, shea butter, jojoba oil, sea buckthorn oil, cocoa butter and essential oils. Your skin needs to be fed real food, not chemicals. Remember that what you put on your skin goes directly into your blood stream. I personally love Kekeli Essentials (www.kekeliessentials.biz) because they are natural and nutritious for your skin.

There are many herbs that are used to tighten, tone, soothe or repair the skin. A few examples are reflected in the following herbs:

Which Hazel is a natural astringent that tightens and tones the skin.

White Oak Bark is highly astringent and antiseptic for inflamed tissues.

Use Burdock, Yellow Dock or Red Root internally and externally to clean the skin inside and out.

For Athletes Foot use Black Walnut or Oil of Cajeput.
Nail Fungus will respond to a combination of Wormwood and Wormseed.

Black Walnut is excellent for ringworm

Gotu Kola is used for scaly skin

For moles use Whole Apricot externally

Warts melt away under external application of Milkweed

For wrinkles try Alum Root, Cransbill, Elderberry, Comfrey Root, or Oatstraw
Royal Jelly brings youthful skin

The list of herbs for beautifying the skin and for specific skin problems is extensive. Know that your Creator has thought of everything and for every problem there is an answer. Using natural herbs and oils on your skin is life giving to this very visible organ we call our skin. Feed it well and it will serve you well into old age.

In the process of starting to cleanse your body of toxins, you must look at how your body gets rid of toxic matter.

You need to see your colon as the “main drain” of your body. The colon is the major sewer system by which your body gets rid of toxic material. If you have been eating devitalized or dead food for most of your life your colon has become not only nonfunctional, but has built up a lining of dead, toxic material. It is probably also home to a variety of unwanted guests such as parasites, yeast and fungus.
The first step in any cleansing program is to do the Home Colonic or go to someone specializes in colon cleansing. If the “main drain” is not cleaned out and the unwanted guest eliminated by specific herbal medicines, then just like your kitchen sink the filth will back up into your body causing further disease.

The home colonic is very important in keeping the down and outward flow of the body going so that parasites and the die off from yeast have a way to exit the body. If the bowel is not kept open the dead matter will circulate your body causing flu like symptoms.
Always incorporate a good bowel cleaner along with your colonic to help restart a sluggish colon and to repair and restore damaged and diseased tissue.
