Spring Detoxification: Medicine in the Weeds | Herbal Medicine

Hosted by Susan Elliotson RHShow more

Weeds that are free, growing under our own two feet, are a great source of herbal medicine and can do marvelous things for your health and wellbeing.

In this public talk you learn that weeds are not only very beneficial to one’s diet, but they are an excellent tool for detoxification. With a herbal detox, the ingredients are primarily weeds. Weeds, such as dandelion, ground ivy, yarrow, red clover, stinging nettle and cleavers, are wonderful as they can help create balance, in terms of our liver, bladder, blood and lungs, kidneys and lymphatic system. The principle of a detox is to balance all organs of elimination and ensure that waste metabolites are cleared and do not come out through the skin, produce headaches, nausea, diarrhea and ultimately do not cause other major health issues.

The material shared by Susan Elliotson, RH, in this Open House lecture, is part of the Herbal Medicine course at the Institute of Holistic Nutrition (IHN). Herbal Medicine and 18 other courses, make up the full curriculum required to obtain a Diploma in Applied Holistic Nutrition and earn the exclusive designation of Certified Nutritional Practitioner (CNP).
