Cleansing works on the body’s energy system with a wide spectrum of anti-inflammatory, antiviral and antibacterial effects to quickly cleanse the internal organs and the blood and detoxify the system. Cleansing of the energetic system helps reduce the aches and pains associated with colds and flu and minimize the potential for detoxification (Herxheimer) reactions. Cleansing works well for the elderly and infirm because of the softness of its action.
