a recipe

[Guest guest]

This is a mix I found in a book called " The Herb Book "

by Lust. I haven't tried it but the reason I am posting

it is that it looks as though you could build your own

recipe around this one by substituting one herb for another.

Much of the times I have to pass on the intestinal cleansers

that is sold on the web because I cannot take All of their

ingredients. So if you have this problem too, maybe this

recipe would help you develop a colon cleanse specifically

fit for your needs.

Arnold Ehret's Herbal Intestinal Broom

Note: All " ground " ingredients should be about as coarse

as loose tea, the " powdered " ones about as fine as a

powdered sugar.

Ground senna leaves (6 parts)

Ground buckthorn bark (3 parts)

Ground psyllium seed husks (1 part)

Powdered sassafras root bark (1/10th part)

Ground dark anise seed (1/2 part)

Ground buchu leaves (1/10th part)

Ground blonde psyllium seed (1/2 part)

Powdered Irish moss (1/8th part)

Granulated agar-agar (1/8th part)

Ground dark fennel seed (1/2 part)

Mix the first three ingredients thoroughly. Then combine

the remaining seven real well, and add this to the mixture.

If you have a blender, it makes an ideal mixer for preparing

the formula. Use low speed.

The " Intestinal Broom " is easy to use. Usually a small amount,

about the quantity that fits on half a teaspoon, or less, swallowed

with a glassful of water, is sufficient for adults. It may be increased

or decreased according to your own reaction.

It may also be used sprinkled over salads, or brewed as a tea:

1/2 tsp. to a cup of boiling water. Remove from heat and allow to

steep for 10 to 1 minutes. Strain and enjoy. It has a facinating flavor.

Another section says, " A tea made from eaqual parts of anise,

caraway,

and fennel makes an excellent intestinal purifier. "
