Blood Detox II

Red Clover:

As with alfalfa, Red Clover sends its roots far into the ground. This makes it possible for it to draw upon an abundance of minerals. Due to its high content of several important nutrients, including vitamins and minerals, it has become a dependable nutritive supplement.*

Herbalists believed that red clover "purified" the blood by acting as a diuretic (helping the body get rid of excess fluid) and promoting healthy liver function.*

Oregon Grape:

Oregon grape root uses have traditionally included liver function and gall bladder function. Since the job of the liver is literally to filter the blood and Oregon Grape is believed to provide support for a healthy liver function, we believe that Oregon Grape is a great choice for a blood cleansing formula.*

The Encyclopedia of Medicinal Plants lists healthy gall bladder support as one of the many attributes of Oregon Grape. The gall bladder produces bile. Bile aids in the digestive process of elimination. This includes waste products in the small intestine. Any filtration or elimination can be said to assist in a cleanse like Grandma's Herbs Blood Cleanses. These Oregon Grape attributes help in showing why it is an important ingredient in our cleansing formulas.*

In the book; Prescription for Nutritional Healing by Phyllis A. Balch, CNC and James F. Balch, M.D. Burdock Root is described as a: " ... antioxidant, capable of scavenging hydrogen peroxide and superoxide radicals. It also showed a scavenging effect against hydroxyl." Burdock is also traditionally used to promote healthy liver and gall bladder function.*
