According to the American Blood Centers, blood carries nutrients, gases and waste products through the body. It also helps fight off infection, control body temperature and heal wounds. Blood is transported throughout the human body via arteries, capillaries, veins and other parts of the vascular system. Regularly cleansing the blood helps the body to stay healthy.
Step 1
Consume water and natural juices. Drinking water aids in removing harmful bacteria, parasites, fungi and other debris that blood may contain, and what toxic substances water doesn't flush out, it helps dilute. Cranberry juice is a natural antioxidant that promotes healthy blood and kidney functions. Carrot juice, which is rich in beta carotene, helps to cleanse the blood by fortifying it against toxins. The American Dietetic Association suggests drinking 8 to 10 cups of fluids each day.
Step 2
Eat more salads and other vegetables. Greens are powerful antioxidants that support the immune system. They are also high in vitamins and minerals. The chlorophyll in green plants helps to detoxify the blood. Dark-colored greens and vegetables are packed with antioxidant properties to promote healthy blood and kidney function. Eating salads also contributes to your daily water intake, which helps the blood flush out toxins.
Step 3
Cleanse the blood with proteolytic enzymes, which break down wastes such as molds, bacteria and viruses in the bloodstream. In the article "Proteolytic Enzymes", John Barron says the human bloodstream depends on proteolytic enzymes to function properly. Proteolytic enzymes are natural supplements sold in health food stores and online. Follow the dosage directions or consult your doctor with additional questions.
Step 4
Drink herbal teas one hour before bed to begin a cleanse. Herbal laxative tea will help your body clear out undigested food that may be tainting your blood with toxins. It's best to look for a mild laxative that has senna in it. Drinking caffeine-free chamomile tea helps to improve relaxation and sleep quality. It also helps to repair damaged cells in the blood, tissue and skin due to its essential oil content. Consult a doctor before making dietary changes.
