4. Antioxidant Properties
Living in the city means that we have higher exposure to environmental toxins than individuals that reside in rural locations. These toxins build up in our bloodstream and tissues over time, resulting in immune system weakness and feelings of fatigue.
It’s a good idea to run a detox program once or twice a year to clean out your system of all the harmful particles residing in your blood, bones, and tissues. Trying a water-fast for three to five days is the best way to clean out your body.
A fast gives your body time to recover from the effects of digestion. Since digestion takes up 60-percent of all the energy we produce, stopping eating for a short period will help to strengthen your immune system against infection.
The antioxidant properties of feverfew extract oil are an excellent supplement to add to your detox fast. Consume a few drops of the oil in water each morning to benefit from the detoxifying effects of feverfew. The parthenolide found in feverfew removes free radicals from the bloodstream.
