Dr. Foster lists the specific herbs that can assist in cleansing and detoxing to reduce inflammation, get rid of infection, and remove toxins from your body.ย  Keep in mind, when the body is not able to do this (effectively) – that’s when the immune system gets compromised and the risk of disease goes up.

3. Burdock root.ย  This “warming” Ayurvedic herb is great for skin, liver and kidney health.ย  You can try making it into a tea or cook it with other vegetables like carrots and onions.

  • Wow! Loving these great ideas and facts! Some I never even heard of before. Love the ideas for the teas too! I am sharing this with friends and family. Thanks for the great interview.

  • Thank you, greatly appreciate all this valuable information, am trying hard to improve my diet, especially when I am taking some medications, that are not good for the liver, and the problem probably initially started due to poor body functions. Thanking you again greatly appreciated. Stay safe ๐Ÿ™๐ŸŒน๐Ÿ‘

  • Thank you for offeing us so much information for free! They are of great use for me to know haw to take care of my liver.

    • I used to have a horrible problem. Eventually went on an elimination diet (ate only fruits, veggies) when my body started functioning I then added protein. Slowly added foods one item at a time. Found food allergies that affected me. Cannot tolerate iodine which is in almost everything processed. Called carogeenan sp?. I eat almost no processed foods. Ice cream only a few spoons. It’s a long journey but you can eventually find what your body tolerates.

  • I have been taking a really strong herbal remedy for my bowel that has never worked in itโ€™s own. It is made up of various herbs, the main one being senna. I have to take seven times the adult dose for it to work. Nobody has yet been able to help me! Can you offer any suggestions – it has to be something really strong – not for someone with โ€œoccasional constipationโ€ I have suffered for over 55 years!

  • Make your own fermented ginger beer to augment the ginger beer. Delicious and healthy.
    When I was a kid there was a fizzy drink made with burdock root, so fermented (homemade) drink with burdock root could be interesting and healthful.

    • that’s an interesting idea. A few summers ago I was using “water kefirs” to ferment ginger tea. Maybe I should have added burdock root to the tea. Anyway I have it now, and it’s the season for hot teas, not cold.

  • Also wanted to say I had never heard of using cornsilk to detox. It is unfortunately well past corn harvest here where I live, and this will have to wait another year. I am not sure of getting organic corn at the farmers’ market, though, as so few find it financially worthwhile to grow (in this area). These are just small business people, not large corn-growing enterprises (that you want to stay away from, anyway). I wonder if Cornsilk is to be found, loose, in a health food store?

  • I love this! All of the information is very useful and helpful. I have had digestive problems most of my life and look forward to trying some of these wonderful remedies.
