Building: We’re Going to Pump You Up!

The herbs you use to build the body can also be used in smaller doses to maintain your results. You can use the herbs as foods and nourishment to build and maintain your immune system so that you keep yourself from getting ill in the first place. When you’re weak and need nourishment, you’ll need more nutrients than when you are just maintaining your health. Be ready to take a lot of herbs until you reach that level.

Using herbs as nutrition will help build up and maintain your body and will help protect you from being vulnerable to disease. Most herbs considered building or nutritive herbs will be salty to the taste, which means they have a high mineral content. Minerals nourish your body and help build strong bones, hair, skin, and teeth.
A few examples of building herbs include:
  • Alfalfa Rich in minerals; great for structural system
  • Horsetail Rich in silica; feeds structural system, hair, and nails
  • Kelp Rich in iodine and other minerals; nourishes and builds the thyroid
Usually you will build up with herbs after you go through a cleansing stage. Once the body has rid itself of the old toxins and irritants that were making you feel sick, you are in a much better position to be able to use herbs as foods to nourish your body and maintain your health and vibrancy. So let’s talk about cleaning out those pipes!
