So far my articles on cleansing have been on practical ways to incorporate healthy habits into your lifestyle to allow your body to cleanse itself naturally every day. If you are ready to take another step, Young Living offers some products designed to work together to start cleansing your system a little deeper. This post was written by a guest and friend of mine, Michele Kieckhaefer. Michele is a dear friend that introduced R.C to me almost 4 years ago. Thanks Michele! Here is her story and experience with the Cleansing Trio of products:
Over 20 years ago, I was overcome with daily migraine headaches, food sensitivities and chronic fatigue. After years of prescription painkillers and antibiotics, I made the decision to pursue natural health alternatives to bring healing and balance to my body. I discovered many safe, effective alternatives to allopathic treatments, but none can compare to the scope and quality of Young Living Essential Oils and oil-infused supplements. They have significantly improved my health as well as my family’s health.
Cleansing Trio
It is well known in the health and wellness arena that disease starts in the colon. The Cleansing Trio is an excellent tool to rid the body of contaminants. The trio includes Young Living products: ComforTone, Essentialzyme and ICP. The Cleansing Trio products can be used along with your normal food intake. There is no fasting or extreme dieting as a part of this cleansing regiment. However, one should avoid alcohol, sugar, white flour and processed foods for maximum benefits. Reducing or eliminating dairy and meat can be beneficial. You should also eat plenty of fruits and vegetables.
1. You’ll begin this cleanse by taking 1-2 caps of Essentialzyme after every meal. You want to allow your body to produce some of the digestive enzymes so if possible, wait 30 minutes after a meal to take these. Do this for a few days to see how your body responds to the enzymes. Essentialzyme is a high quality blend of enzymes that target the breakdown and elimination of toxins. This supplement may be especially helpful for individuals who have difficulty digesting and assimilating food including those suffering from pancreatitis or cystic fibrosis. Essentialzyme also contains essential oils of tarragon, peppermint, anise, fennel and clove – all these oils support healthy digesting and help decrease inflammation.
2. After a few days using the Essentialzyme, you will begin to add the ComforTone. Start with 2 caps before breakfast and 2 caps before bedtime. Increase the dosage up to 5 each to get at least 2-4 good bowel movements each day. ComforTone is an herbal laxative of bentonite (absorbs toxins), apple pectin for fiber and herbs to support colon health. If you experience nausea at this point drinking peppermint water may be helpful in moving toxins along. ComforTone also contains essential oils of Rosemary, German Chamomile, tarragon, peppermint, ginger, anise and tangerine to help purifiy the colon, improve digestion and reduce spasms.
3. Once you’ve reached the point of regular elimination using the Essentialzyme and ComforTone, start the ICP gradually working up to 2 tsp two times daily at a minimum. You may need to start with 1 tsp daily gradually working up if you’re easily constipated. The goal is to maintain 2-4 good bowel movements during the day while on the ICP. The key is not to let yourself get constipated by taking this very slow. Listen to your body and make sure you are drinking plenty of purified water to help move toxins out of your system. Constipation in any cleansing program will cause toxins to accumulate in the digestive tract causing unpleasant symptoms like headache, nausea and even vomiting. Do not begin using the ICP until you are having 2-4 eliminations a day.
Here are some other Young Living supplements I have used that can help relieve constipation:
- Sulfurzyme-combines MSM and Ningxia wolfberry. This balances the immune system and supports almost every major function of the body. A good starting dose is 2 caps two times daily one hour before or after meals.
- Alkalime-helps preserve the body’s proper pH balance. Cleansing releases huge amounts of toxins which in turn cause the body to become very acidic. High acidic levels in the body will cause constipation so maintaining the proper pH balance will prevent constipation. Especially important to take before bedtime. Alkalime is a mineral powder designed to balance the body’s PH to a more alkaline level. Alkalime may be helpful in alleviating symptoms of an acid-based system due to yeast or fungus overgrowth.
- Detoxyme-promotes detoxification of the body and is excellent for colon health. Take between meals. You can also take at night with ComfortTone to help aid digestion. Detoxzyme is a vegetable enzyme complex designed to digest sugars, starches, fats and proteins. Detoxzyme may be helpful in supporting natural detoxification of excess cholesterol, triglycerides and yeast overgrowth. Detoxzyme also increases the assimilation of vital minerals like magnesium, potassium and zinc from foods like nuts, seeds and whole grains. Detoxzyme contains the enzyme phytase which is essential to the breakdown and absorption of these essential nutrients.
- MegaCal-high powered calcium and essential mineral complex. Will help stimulate the colon. Start with 1 tsp two times daily one hour before or after meals.
- Peace & Calming essential oil blend-use 2 times daily to help calm the abdomen. Dilute 1:1 with a vegetable oil and massage directly onto the abdomen.
Increase your water intake further. You can drink up to your full body weight in fluid ounces daily to help relieve the constipation. Add citrus oils to your water as this will facilitate the release of toxins from the body. Exercising can also help move toxins out of your system and help improve regularity.
This cleanse is very effective and can be maintained up to 3 months for maximum benefits. One should stop the ComfortTone by this point so the colon does not become dependent upon it. You can continue using less of the ICP. This will cleanse the body in and of itself. Of course, continue using the Essentialzyme or any of the other YL enzyme products for digestion aid.
I have done many different cleanses over the years. I have often become extremely bloated when the bulking agents were introduced because the colon was not moving sufficiently. At that point, I would stop the cleanse never getting the full benefit. It has been my experience that the Young Living products are far superior. Gentle yet very effective. I have found a new level of health as a result. Health problems that I was plagued with for years are gone now as a result of removing the toxins.
