Blood Cleanser Tincture - 300ml

A traditional herbal formula combining Burdock, Cleavers, Dandelion root and Sarsaparilla with other well-known alterative herbs.

In herbal medicine, we often refer to blood-cleansing herbs as alteratives. These are herbs traditionally used to support the body’s natural processes of elimination, particularly through the liver, lymphatic system, kidneys and digestive tract.

We’ve chosen herbs with different affinities so they can work alongside one another:

• Burdock root and Sarsaparilla are classic alterative herbs, traditionally used as part of a broader cleansing approach.

• Dandelion root and Yellow dock bring a digestive element to the formula and have a long history of use in herbal preparations associated with the liver and bowel.

• Cleavers is a favourite herb for the lymphatic system and is traditionally used where gentle lymphatic support is wanted.

• Nettle leaf is traditionally associated with the urinary system and is a nourishing addition to a cleansing programme.

• Red clover and Heartsease complete the blend, bringing their long history of traditional use for the skin and tissues.

The name blood cleanser comes from traditional herbal language. The herbs don’t literally filter the blood; the formula brings together plants traditionally chosen to support the body as a whole.

Why Choose a Herbal Blood Cleanser?

• To complement a wider cleansing programme that includes attention to the bowel, kidneys and lymphatic system.
• To bring a broader alterative approach alongside herbs chosen for individual areas of a cleanse.
• To combine eight traditional herbs, each with its own affinity for digestion, urinary function, the lymphatic system or the tissues.
• To include Dandelion root and Yellow dock for their traditional digestive and hepatic associations.
• To bring Cleavers and Nettle leaf into a formula traditionally associated with lymphatic and urinary support.
• To draw on the traditional use of herbs such as Burdock, Sarsaparilla, Red clover and Heartsease for the body’s tissues.

How Can It Complement a Cleanse?

When we think about a cleanse, it can be helpful to consider the whole picture. A programme might include attention to regular bowel movements, hydration and urinary function, as well as the lymphatic system.

Herbal Blood Cleanser can sit alongside this broader approach. Its digestive herbs bring an affinity for the bowel and liver, while Cleavers and Nettle contribute their traditional associations with the lymphatic and urinary systems. The alterative herbs bring the focus back to the body as a whole.

FAQs

What are blood-cleansing herbs?

Blood-cleansing herbs are a traditional group of plants often referred to as alteratives. Herbalists have historically used them in cleansing preparations and to support healthy tissues. The name describes their traditional use rather than suggesting that they literally filter or cleanse the blood.

Can I use Herbal Blood Cleanser alongside a cleanse?

It has been designed to complement a wider cleansing approach. Its combination of herbs traditionally associated with digestion, the urinary system, lymphatics and tissues makes it a broader addition to a programme that also considers the bowel, kidneys and lymphatic system.

Is this the same as a liver cleanse?

The formula includes herbs traditionally associated with the liver and digestion, particularly Dandelion root and Yellow dock. It also contains herbs chosen for their traditional connections with the urinary system, lymphatics and tissues, giving it a broader focus.

Why are there eight herbs in the formula?

Each herb brings something slightly different. Some have a traditional affinity with digestion, while others are associated with the lymphatic system, urinary function or tissues. Together, they create a formula with a broad alterative character.
