A compulsory stage for strengthening the immunity system 

Alternative medicine is mainly based on creating the balance between two basic process of our body: assimilation and elimination. Most often, illness and suffering occur when we assimilate a lot of toxins which we cannot eliminate normally. For instance, if we live in a city and breathe noxe everyday, drink common/normal water and eat food with synthetic additives, our body fills with harming substances. All that prevents our body from fighting against any disease. Psychologically speaking, things are the same: we still feel restless, tormented by different conflicts or suffer from increased negative emotions. We suffer from insomnia, irritability, depression and so on. What should we do? We cannot leave our job or family and live in loneliness where there is no stress. We should eliminate toxins and regain our balance. In order to eliminate both physical and psychical toxins, we must use natural remedies. We can use enema and therapeutic vomiting. But we can also use bitter and cleansing plants. 

Cleansing plants

They are meant for a "general cleaning" of our body, by enabling elimination of waste through sweat, urine and defecation. Purification is more intensive in case of persons suffering from intoxication: they sweat excessively, have a special smell, urinate frequently, and suffer from different kinds of rush. There are more than 30 cleansing plants in Romania: some intensive, some milder. We shall point out several herbs which are mild and have no side effects.

Viola tricolor
It is the most important and complete herb. Very sensitive persons, who suffer from cold during cold season, should use it in particular. It is perfect against: bronchitis, asthma, rheumatism, etc. We recommend to home-made the following product: take a china pot or a bottle and put 2-3 teaspoons of sliced herb into half litre of spring or mineral water on top of it. Let the plant soak over night, at room temperature then, filter it. The rest of the plant should be boiled for half an hour, into half litre of hot water; let it cool down and filter it. Combine the soak with the extract you have obtained after boiling it and drink it all day long.

Juniper grains - (Juniperus communis) 
It is a good remedy for people who suffer from water retention, kidney or bladder disorder. We recommend the tincture: one teaspoons diluted into half glass of water; drink it three times a day. 
Receipt: Put water into a jar, add 15 teaspoons of ground grains and one glass of alcohol (70 degrees); seal the jar and let the mixture soak for 10 days. Then, filter it through a piece of lint and keep it into small dark coloured bottles. You can also buy it from the chemists' shops. 

Elder fruits (Sanbucus nigra)
They are the most effective and complex herbs. You can use a tincture made of fresh fruits. You can buy it from natural product shops. It enables the intestinal activity, it is perfect against slow digestion or constipation. It also eliminates toxins and liquids, through sweating and diuresis. It also regulates weight. You should use it at the beginning of the cold season, due to the fact that it improves the immunity system. 
For those who have real weight problems, we recommend the following cure: 1st day - one teaspoon at 6 p.m.; 2nd day - two teaspoons, at the same hour; 7th day - 7 teaspoons. Follow the cure for 30 days. Progressive dose should be taken for not producing damage to intestinal activity. 

How much should a cure last?
The cure should last as long as the illness disappears, according to how serious they are. For a healthy person who has no major vices, a two weeks-cure would suffice. It creates immunity. For sensitive persons who easily suffer from cold or breathing problems, a cure should last for a whole month. They may keep it as long as they like.

Results
First of all, the cure enables us to feel lighter, fresh, rested, more resisting (both physically and psychically). Remedies also stimulate immunity. Each plant is meant for a particular illness:
- Viola tricolor helps eliminating chronic breathing diseases (bronchitis and asthma), allergies, etc.;
- juniper tincture: increases kidney and bladder immunity, eliminates cystitis, nephritis or urethritis;
- elder flower-tincture: eliminates constipation and helps losing weight.

Bitter plants
They are real elixirs. They are also called bitter tonic plants, because most of the biologic-chemical process turn active due to the tonic substances. The cure based on bitter plants should be related to cleansing plants. Therefore, the dis intoxication should be more effective and should happen faster. Bitter plants and remedies may be used besides dis intoxication diets, especially by people who suffer from liver and gall problems or constipation.

In the following, we shall present you several cleansing plants:

Wormwood (Artemisia absinthum) 
It is generally perfect for dis intoxication: for people who live a sedentary life, who suffer from slow digestion or asthenia. Because it is very bitter, some may not tolerate it. Therefore, we recommend the tincture: take 3 teaspoons of tincture/day, diluted into little water, before eating. The cure should last for no more than 2 weeks. Then, make a 10 days-pause and repeat it. If one does not make a pause, wormwood may produce undesired addiction.

Common celandine (Chelidonium majus)
It is rather toxic, it strongly influences liver and gall, it drains and regenerates perfectly. Use powder, obtained by milling it with the electrical coffee blender. Take one teaspoon (almost 0.25 g), three times/day, on empty stomach.

Swedish bitter - it is a good remedy that you can buy from natural products' shops. It is made of bitter plants. It is also called Swedish tonic drink. Take 1.5/1 teaspoon before each meal. Mix it into water or tea.

How and for how long should we take bitter plants?
Usually, cleansing plants should be used first of all, at least half hour before eating. Bitter plants should be taken 10-15 minutes before eating. To be more efficient, one should take them for an entire week, after finishing the cure with cleansing plants. Moreover, if you suffer from liver or digestion disorder, the cure based on bitter tonic drinks should last for a long time (even for months). On the contrary, any toxin reappears soon after and cancels our efforts.

Results after taking bitter plants
The cure is an auxiliary to the cure with cleansing plants. Bitter plants helps us obtain the immunity stimulation and regulation. They also help a certain kind of persons. Wormwood is good against sedentary life and digestion problems. Common celandine is good for those who suffered from serious intoxication which had harmed the liver, in case of hepatitis or lazy gall. Swedish bitter is used for several disease: it stimulates digestion, prevents hypo-acid gastritis or frequent indigestion.

Bitter plants are forbidden for:
- extremely suffering or weak persons, people who recover after serious disease.
Wormwood is forbidden for pregnant women or people suffering from acute hyper-acid gastritis.

Nourishment during cure with bitter plants:
All along the cure, you should follow a diet based on vegetables or milk products in order to support dis intoxication. Bitter plants are used for eliminating harming substances from of our body. In the following, we recommend several aliments:
- freshly squeezed apple or carrot juice: they are very nourishing and compensate the lack of vitamins and minerals which might occur. Carrot juice is good for people who suffer from gastritis, colon swelling; apple juice is perfect for aged or weak people, for it produces energy.
- cereal flakes (barley, oat, wheat): they contain vegetable fibers who clean out the digestive tract. Certain minerals they contain compensate the massive loss of minerals and oligo-elements, when using strong cleansing plants.
- whole-meal bread - it is used like in case of cereals, for it contains vegetable fibers who allow absorption and elimination of toxins and waste from the digestive tract.
- olive oil (cold processing) - it is slightly laxative, it cleans all blood vessels and regulates cholesterol.
- fresh uncooked cabbage - salad; its enzymes help to the process of dis intoxication. It cleans out the blood and protects the stomach mucous.
- nuts, melon seeds and sun-flower seeds - they produce energy which we need during dis intoxication.
