Colon Cleanse

From the beginning of time food has had an integral relationship with man.  From basic survival to the forbidden fruit our history and rituals are intertwined with food. Some foods and herbs slow us down and others are a boost to our system.  If we take a look through the ages we can see many examples of how man and food share history together.  Some rituals change with the passing of time and others remain similar and familiar.

Food has always been a uniting element between humans.  We use food to mark and celebrate social occasions and even religious rituals.  The following examples are just a sampling of food history throughout the centuries:

• In many ancient and modern religions, holy rites are centered around a shared meal that is often made sacred by including ritual ceremonies.
• Food is also offered after funeral, following the period of bereavement, to remind us that life does and must continue on. Greeks and Romans placed honeyed cakes in graves to protect them against Pluto's three-headed hound, Cereberus, who guarded the gates of the Elysian fields.
• Hindus even today offer rice cakes to ancestors who wait in the land of the dead for their turn to return to the land of the living.
• Food habits distinguish religions from one another.  For example: Hindus don’t eat meat. Muslim and Jewish people will only eat halal or kosher meat, and not eat pork.
• Ancient cultures of the Middle East, Asia, and Europe had religions with sacrificial rituals.
• The foods that we eat such as raw vs. cooked, vegetables steamed or pickled, spicy or mild, sweet or sour, are all part of our cultural identity. 
• In India all foods are classified into three categories namely goodness (sattva), passion (rajas) and ignorance (tamas). The Vedic belief is that everything in one’s life food, work etc. can be classified within these three categories of material existence. Goodness will lead a person to knowledge, passion leads to suffering, and ignorance brings on darkness.

Certain foods have been used for other purposes including medicinal and for power. 

• Apple Cider Vinegar as a body cleansing agent is legendary. It’s been traced back to the Egyptians as far as 3000 B.C. and for hundreds of years in Japan, Samurai warriors drank it for strength, vitality and power.
• Hoodia Gordonii is believed to be a natural appetite suppressant, which has been used by the San Bushmen of the Kalahari for thousands of years as a powerful medicinal benefit.
• The indigenous people of the Amazon rain forest would crush  Guaraná seed to be used as a beverage and medicine. It was used to treat diarrhea, reduce fatigue and hunger, and to help treat aches from arthritis to menstruation.
• Herbal medicine uses the flower to treat gastrointestinal disorders, as well as treating a variety of health problems ranging from nervousness and insomnia, to gout and sore throat, and even obesity.
• Ginseng is one of the oldest known medicinal plants in Asia dating back thousands of years. Used traditionally to help combat fatigue and as a tonic for invigorating various systems of the body.
