The Morning formula contains herbs that will facilitate and enhance the body's elimination of accumulated and ingested toxins. The morning hours allow these herbs and nutrients to be most effective for cleansing the liver and alkalizing your entire system. The liver is the body's foremost organ for detoxification, following are the kidneys, then the lungs and finally the skin.



Liver, Lungs, Gall Bladder, Kidneys & Skin

Morning Recommendations for best results:

To enhance this cleanse, and as a regular or on-going morning practice to tone and detoxify the liver, squeeze 1/4 of a lemon or lime into an 8 ounce glass of distilled or purified water and drink it first thing in the morning. You may take the Morning Formula at this time, if that is convenient for you.

Eat a breakfast containing fresh fruits grains, yogurt or eggs. Do not eat meat or cow's milk at breakfast. Use rice or almond milks in cereals that contain only molasses, honey or maple syrup as a sweetener. Do not consume white sugar or evaporated cane juice products. These create more acids for your body to balance. And do not overeat.

MORNING FORMULA INGREDIENTS
Oregon Grape Root
Oregon grape root contains IBerberine and other alkaloids that have been shown to kill a wide range of microbes and have been effective in speeding recovery from giardia, candida, viral diarrhea, and cholera. The herb is also known to be capable in treating inflammatory skin diseases such as eczema and psoriasis largely due to it's purging and cleansing effects on the liver. Oregon grape root also has anticancer properties that are receiving more attention by researchers. Other actions include alterative, diuretic, laxative and tonic. Traditionally herbalists have relied on this herb for its alkalizing and liver cleansing capabilities. As with all liver purging herbals it should only be used for periods not extending 30 days.
Uva Ursi
Uva ursi is used to treat urinary tract infections, cystitis (bladder in ammation), and kidney stones. Arbutin, the chief active compound in uva ursi, is absorbed in the stomach and converted into a substance with antimicrobial, astringent, and disinfectant properties. During urination, as it passes out of the body, it acts on the mucus membranes of the urinary tract to soothe irritation, reduce inflammation, and fight infection. Uva Ursi leaf was listed on the U.S. National Formulary as a urinary antiseptic from 1820 to 1950. Added to this formula to work in conjunction with Black Radish to heal and purge the kidneys and bladder of toxic accumulations.


Lime Extract
Extract of lime has a gentle cleansing effect on the ducts and pathways of the liver and kidneys making it an important ingredient in this formulation. Lime juice has been proven very helpful in getting rid of kidney stones in their early stages. Squeezing some lime into water each day and drinking it first thing in the morning increases the level of citrate in your urine, which helps to prevent the formation of calcium oxalate crystals that may result in kidney stones.
Eucalyptus
Eucalyptus has mucolytic, diuretic and antibacterial properties. It is used for hypertension, throat and lung infections, inhaled for sinus and bronchial infections, colds, coughs, and other respiratory ailments. The main ingredient in eucalyptus oil is eucalyptol. This has very strong germicidal and disinfectant properties. We have added a small amount of this herb for its ability to eliminate excess mucous and toxins from the lung tissue.
Burdock Root
The bitter properties of burdock stimulate bile secretions. Burdock's anti-microbial, bacteriostatic and fungistatic properties have been traced to as many as 14 different polyacetylene compounds in the root. In traditional herbal texts, burdock root is described as a “liver and blood cleanser" and believed to clear the body of toxins. It has been used both internally and externally for eczema and psoriasis, as well as to treat painful joints and as a diuretic. Added to this formulation to increase the flow of bile, inducing a cleansing effect on the gallbladder, liver and blood.
Mullein
One of the primary uses of mullein has been to remedy respiratory problems, such as chronic bronchitis, asthma, croup, and other breathing difficulties. It is an expectorant that stimulates the clearing out of congestion, expelling excess respiratory phlegm and mucus. It also soothes and tones the mucous membranes of the respiratory system and reduces inflammation. When mullein is combined with eucalyptus they gently purge the lungs of toxins while soothing the pleura and tissues of the lungs


Dandelion Root
The bitter compounds of dandelion increase bile production and flow in the gallbladder and from the liver. For this reason dandelion is recommended by many herbalists for people with sluggish liver function due to alcohol abuse or poor diet. The increase in bile flow may help improve fat (including cholesterol) metabolism in the body. Because of its iron content, it is widely used as a remedy for liver ailments. Dandelion also has a purging effect that can help rid the liver of toxins. Because of its positive effects on the liver and digestion, dandelion root may help boost the effectiveness of other vitamins, minerals and nutrients.
Buchu Leaves
Buchu aids in the elimination of calculus debris, mucus, and uric acid from the kidneys. It soothes and strengthens the urinary system. Buchu was introduced in Great Britain around 1800 and was officially listed as a medicine in the British Pharmacopoeia by 1821. British physicians used it to treat inflammations of the urinary system including cystitis, urethra inflammation, and nephritis.






Black Radish
The Black Radish is said to have a pronounced effect on the liver, activating and regenerating liver cells. It acts as a "cholagogue," or substance that stimulates the production of bile from the liver to the intestines. It serves as a liver tonic and helps to purify it. This action also helps to cleanse and purify the blood and reduce gravel in the gallbladder. Black Radish also encourages the production and flow of urine, as such, promoting the elimination of toxins, stones and gravel with the increase in urine flow.
