Herbs: Ancient Healing for Modern Times

Reviewed by Pablo Medina, Herbalist

The use of herbs to remove pathologies was first documented over 4,000 years ago in ancient Egypt. This systematic, and scientific approach to treating the body with herbs, barks, roots,  and leaves became the foundation for modern medicine. Sadly, over the last century, nature's healing plants have been replaced with synthetic chemicals, with disastrous consequences.

Historical Roots

Throughout the ancient world herbal tonics, lotions and tinctures were routinely, and successfully, used to promote health. The father of modern medicine, Hippocrates, precisely documented how to use the properties of plants to bring the body back into balance and good health.

Plants contain carbon, hydrogen, and oxygen in a format the body understands. Iron that has been assimilated into the electric and biological structure of the burdock plant is easy to absorb. But, iron straight from the earth, ferrous sulfate, binds the intestine, blocking a natural detoxification route.

Petrochemical Pharmaceuticals

Many modern pharmaceuticals are inspired by plants and extracted from nature. Pharmaceutical companies even sponsor expeditions into remote jungles looking for new medicinal plants. But, to patent and protect their discoveries, and maximize profits, they create chemical alternatives in the lab. 

These synthetic alternatives are made by copying and manipulating natural substances, to enhance effects, but stronger isn't better. Plants and herbs support the body to come back into balance by restoring natural processes. Synthetic chemicals often suppress symptoms of illness, ignoring the root cause, while increasing toxicity. 

Cleansing, Detoxing, and Nourishing

Herbs provide 'tools' with which natural processes can be fine-tuned or regulated. By combining physical cleansing with the detoxification of impurities, and targeted nutrition, the body can restore cellular health. Dr. Sebi developed packages of herbal formulations to selectively combine precise quantities of herbs and engineer a profound rejuvenating experience. 

Combining cleansing and detoxifying herbs with nourishing and revitalizing herbs creates an environment in which the body can repair damage and build healthy new cells. Cleansing the blood, bone, and spleen rejuvenates red blood cell production, enhancing oxygenation. Clearing mucus and inflammation from detoxification organs (skin, liver, gallbladder, lymph, kidneys, colon) and nourishing the immune system is foundational to ridding the body from disease.

 

Some Helpful Herbs

Plants and herbs often work together synergistically, delivering enhanced effects when correctly combined. 

  • Cascara Sagrada: cleanses the bowels, stimulates the liver and pancreas, and is one of the best herbs for diabetics
  • Burdock Root: cleanses the liver and lymphatic system, helps skin detox, purifies the blood
  • Chaparral: cleanses lymphatic system and gallbladder, detoxes heavy metals. Helps with respiratory conditions, improves blood circulation, and improves skin conditions
  • Dandelion: cleanses kidneys and helps dissolves kidney stones, stimulates bile
  • Sarsaparilla: reduces fluids in the body, lowers blood pressure, nourishes kidneys
  • Hombre Grande: cleanses the blood, soothes the stomach, and aids digestion
  • Yellow Dock: supports digestion and waste removal, increases bile production Blood purifier cleanses lymph glands,  and detoxifies the liver
  • Irish Sea Mossnourishes with 92  essential minerals the body needs. Improves digestion and respiratory problems

Profound Regeneration

Dr. Sebi developed 'All-Inclusive Packages' for men and women providing 20 different herbal products to drive the physiological, electro-chemical, and biochemical changes needed to restore health. Enhanced detoxification, neurological, and nervous support reduces anxiety, sleeplessness, and tension while restoring metabolic, endocrine, and immune functions. 

Mother Nature gifted us with herbs to heal and nourish, these tried and tested traditional approaches are immensely powerful, and unlike modern medicines, have virtually no side effects. Regular and consistent use of botanical formulations will return the body to a healthy alkaline state. Regenerate the body by cleansing, detoxifying, and nourishing every single one of your trillions of cells.
