Lymph cleansing with licorice and activated carbon: reviews, recipe, application, result

Lymph is a transparent natural liquid, a type of connective tissue that performs two functions: protective, because it contains many leukocytes, and returnable (supplies various biological substances from tissues to the blood). Metabolites and toxins can accumulate in it, and when dehydrated, it becomes a habitat and distribution channel for pathogenic microorganisms.

When it is contaminated, a person begins to have problems with the immune system, skin, health deteriorates and various negative symptoms appear. There are several ways to eliminate unwanted effects.

In folk medicine, licorice is used to cleanse the lymph. The reader will learn how to do this and what indications and limitations there are from this article and the video posted in it.

Benefits of licorice

Licorice or licorice is a perennial herbaceous plant belonging to the legume family. Its roots are of therapeutic value, where a significant amount of saponins accumulate, which have a positive effect on the functioning of the endocrine system.

Licorice and activated carbon

If there is no possibility or desire to use enterosgel, then it should be replaced with another sorbent. Let's look at how to cleanse the lymph with licorice and activated carbon. This is the most popular and affordable sorbent. Its cost is quite low, but this does not affect the final result.

Cleaning the lymph with licorice and activated carbon, according to reviews, is extremely simple. First, you should drink a licorice preparation on an empty stomach, and after 30–45 minutes, take activated charcoal at the rate of 1 tablet per 10 kg of weight. The duration of one course is from two to four weeks.

This method is suitable for anyone who feels nauseous from enterosgel. To do this, you can use the following recipe. Lymph cleansing with licorice and activated carbon begins with taking 15 ml of syrup diluted in a glass of water. It is drunk on an empty stomach. After an hour, take activated charcoal as before.

Indications

Doctors recommend paying attention to cleansing procedures for people who are characterized by the following symptoms:

frequent colds accompanied by cough,
bronchitis, tracheitis, tonsillitis and pneumonia,
regular inflammation of the nasopharynx and maxillary sinuses,
dermatological problems,
discomfort or pain in the joints,
constant fatigue syndrome,
inflammation of the lymph nodes.

It will also be useful to cleanse the body after taking medications for a long time, especially if they are antibiotics or hormonal drugs. Persons living in unfavorable environmental conditions must constantly remove harmful components from the body.

The note. Even if a person feels well, it is recommended to remove harmful substances from the body after long feasts, winter, or if a person’s work does not allow him to move actively. Such prevention will help prevent many diseases in the future.

Magnificent duet: licorice and Enterosgel

Enterosgel is a well-known modern enterosorbent, which, like a sponge, absorbs all kinds of toxins and other harmful substances from the intestines and accelerates their elimination from the body naturally. What is especially important is that no harm is done to the beneficial intestinal microflora, and the body does not lose the water and electrolytes it needs.

Enterosgel is inert, does not enter into chemical reactions in the body and passes through the gastrointestinal tract in transit. Thanks to this, Enterosgel is approved not only for adults, but also for children from the first days of life. The only significant contraindication to its use is acute intestinal obstruction, otherwise the drug is safe.

Licorice is a medicinal plant with a wide spectrum of action. Among other things, licorice reduces the viscosity of lymph and improves its outflow, thereby accelerating the elimination of toxins accumulated in internal organs and tissues. Side effects, as a rule, appear only with long-term use of licorice preparations. In some cases (persistent hypertension, liver cirrhosis, pregnancy and breastfeeding), licorice should not be taken.

Both of these drugs are means to restore order in the body: Enterosgel will help cleanse the intestines, and licorice will help cleanse the lymph. If you use them together, the effect of use will increase many times! Cleansing with licorice makes it possible to remove toxins from the lymph into the intestines, and Enterosgel “picks up” them and removes them from the body, preventing them from being absorbed into the blood again!

Licorice syrup

This product (an example is shown in the photo) can be purchased at a pharmacy. Its price is not high and, as a rule, the product is always available. The drug comes with instructions, which should be read before use; in extreme cases, they can be found on the Internet.

During the period of taking licorice, to cleanse the lymph, you need to drink at least 1.5–2 liters of clean water daily. The drink can be supplemented with green tea, infusion, and freshly squeezed juices.

A bathhouse will help speed up the process of removing toxins and relieve tension. You should visit the steam room no more than 2 times a week throughout the entire cleaning period. The effectiveness of therapy will be increased by daily walks in the fresh air for 1–1.5 hours, swimming, and exercises that involve lifting the lower body above waist level.
