Some naturopathic experts recommend that you do a sea salt cleanse to remove toxins and to alleviate your digestive symptoms. In this case, sea salt is used as a laxative to assist the body in achieving for new and positive changes. If you have been suffering from constipation or suspect that you have parasites in your body, then you may want to consider a sea salt laxative instead of using harsh, commercial medications.

Since natural salt is a necessary chemical for normal body function that can be depleted with physical exercise, many electrolyte balancing sports drinks contain salt. However, sea salt is considered superior to normal processed salt as it contains health enhancing minerals. A sea salt cleanse draws out impurities from your digestive tract and at the same time, provides your body with necessary minerals that may not be available in your current diet. However, it is important that you thread with caution. Sufferers of ulcers, cancer, or digestive illnesses should research this detoxification treatment carefully or consult with their doctor before starting the cleansing process.

To prepare the sea salt cleanse, combine 2 teaspoons of unrefined sea salt with 2 quarts of warm water. If you find it hard to gulp it down, then add lemon juice to make the drink more palatable. Each individual may react to the process of flushing the system with a sea salt laxative in a different manner. This drink is also best taken in the morning at 7 in the morning, when you awake. In general, do expect to empty your bowels in a few hours, although there is a time variation depending on your digestive tract. At first, you may face difficulty swallowing the sea salt drink but do think of the rewards that you can get if you complete the sea salt cleanse.

The benefits of a sea salt cleanse include internal improvement of your digestive tract to improved moods because of an increase in energy. It is also possible to expect improved respiratory and sinus function. In fact, the sea salt cleanse is also a common folk remedy for colds or as a natural antihistamine. The cleansing process detoxifies the body and balances electrolytes. This can help stabilize the heart rate and relieve muscle pain. Other indirect benefits include fresher breath, reduced body odor and clear skin.

Many people suffer from digestive complaints and from chronic fatigue syndrome that can be due to improper digestion. The modern diet tends to be laden with fats, chemicals, and toxins that can cause our digestive tract to work less efficiently. A sea salt cleanse is thus helpful. It is a chance to discover comfort and energy that you are looking for.

Greek legends tell of aconite being grown on the hills where the three headed dog that guarded the entrance to Hades stood. The same hill that Hercules fought the famous mythical battle with Cerberus. The plant grew toxic by the saliva falling from the raging dog's mouth. It is also been called a love poison that according to legend, women who were given aconite from birth could poison others from mere sexual contact. During the Middle Ages it was thought that witches mixed potions with aconite and belladonna to help them fly.

The legend holds some truth. The plant is highly toxic and does have a definite psychological effect. So the answer is toxic.

But if the herb aconite is toxic and poisonous why do so many modern herbalist and homeopathic physicians use the herb?

Despite being poisonous the herb does have medicinal value. But because of the toxicity which can actually make a person suffocate from external application, only a specialized and trained homeopathic physician should use aconite in any form.

The plant is only originally from the mountains of France, Switzerland, and Germany. Today it is cultivated in many gardens as people do not realize the danger of the herb. It is a pretty flower that comes in violet-blue to white and mauve varieties. The petals are shaped in the form of helmet and can grow as long as 6 inches making the up to four foot high plant interesting in a flower garden.

Aconite slows the heart down and decreases blood pressure even in tiny amounts. The juice derived from the plant applied to an open wound or scratch can not only cause pain in the limb it is touched against but can cause syncope. Homeopathic physicians have found that the root of the plant used in liniments can relieve rheumatic and neuralgic pains. However since the therapeutic dose is so close to the toxic dose, only a trained physician should prepare.

There lies a danger with this plant as the leaves can be mistaken for wild parsley. Unless you are positive of the plant, it is safer to either grow your own parsley or buy it at a natural food store.
