A.Vogel’s 10 Day Signature Herbal Cleansing Program has been developed by the Swiss Naturopath, Alfred Vogel. The program is based on the use of herbal preparations to help purge waste that accumulates in your body and reduces your energy.

Why use the 10 Day Signature Herbal Cleansing Program?

No matter how careful you are, it’s hard to avoid the everyday pollutants around you. There are preservatives in the food, chemicals in the water and pollution in the air.

The result can be a gradual build-up of waste within your body, which in turn, can cause a major strain on your body’s normal functions. Organs such as the liver, kidneys, intestines and large bowel, which normally eliminate body waste material, may become overwhelmed with the difficulty of processing this waste due to a poor diet and lifestyle.

If this happens, digestion, circulation and metabolism are often thrown out of balance which may result in constipation, bloating, improper digestion, lack of energy and fatigue.

Combining modern scientific research with centuries of herbal healing knowledge, A.Vogel has designed a program to help eliminate waste from the body.

A.Vogel’s 10 Day Signature Herbal Cleansing Program is recommended twice a year to maintain and restore health.

During Spring and Autumn our metabolism simultaneously goes through change. Therefore, every six months, Spring and Autumn are the ideal times to cleanse our system with A.Vogel’s 10 Day Signature Herbal Cleansing Program.

Prolonged use of the Program may interfere with the body’s natural elimination process.

How does the Cleansing Program work?

In conjunction with a balanced diet, the program relies on herbal preparations that synergistically work to eliminate waste from your body.

An increase in bowel movement and urine elimination is to be expected, as this is necessary to thoroughly cleanse waste from your body.

How to use the Cleansing Program:

A.Vogel’s Signature Herbal Cleansing Program is most beneficial if the herbal preparations are taken at meal times and in the recommended sequences for 10 days.

What you may observe!

Some people may experience discomfort on the second or third day of the program. Symptoms such as headaches, increased body odour, skin blemishes, mild migraine, aching muscles, tiredness, dizziness or lack of energy are some examples.

These symptoms are signs of the elimination and cleansing process. It is important to continue the program to allow these symptoms to disappear. If the frequency of bowel movements causes discomfort, the dosage of A.Vogel’s Constipation Relief and A.Vogel’s Liver Support may be reduced by half.

If symptoms persist after completing A.Vogel’s 10 Day Signature Herbal Cleansing Program seek medical advice.

Who should NOT use the Program?

• People who have recently recovered from a serious illness.• People taking a prescription medicine.• During pregnancy.• While breastfeeding.• If under 16 years of age.• Those experiencing abdominal pains, nausea or vomiting.

General Advice:

• Drink plenty of water and increase fibre in your diet.• Do not mix fruit and vegetables within the same meal.• Use minimal seasoning and spices; we would recommend seasoning with A.Vogel’s Herbamare (gluten free) herb seasoning or A.Vogel’s Trocomare (gluten free) - spicy herb seasoning salt.• While a vegetarian diet is recommended, a small amount of fresh fish and poultry is preferable to red meat.• Avoid pork, white flour, white sugar, margarine, fried foods, chocolate, alcohol, coffee and black tea.• In between meals you may eat nuts and seeds with fresh fruit.

Suggestions:

It is important to have a healthy, balanced diet during the program and to maintain sensible eating throughout the year.

To support the cleansing process, use A.Vogel’s Molkosan (gluten free) 3 times daily (1 teaspoon in a glass of water).It helps to eliminate waste from the intestines, stimulate pancreatic enzymes and improve bowel flora.
