Parasite Cleanse

Most human bodies over time become hosts for a variety of micro-organisms; parasites, worms, dormant viruses, and other people's energy.

It's especially common for highly sensitive people, who are naturally more porous and sponge-like with their energy to pick up things that don't belong to them. What happens over time when we share our eco-systems with invaders, is that we start to develop low-grade dysfunction in certain systems. The immune system is a primary target as it creates the outer boundary to the body. The digestive system is another easy target as it's how we take in and assimilate the world.

Parasites have historically been largely dismissed by practitioners except for occasions when there is recent travel or obvious exposure to untreated water, but we're learning now that this is not the case. Luckily very effective herbal and natural treatments are available and can empower almost anybody to take back their digestive terrain and seal up the leaks in the boundaries.

Here at Refuge Marin we recommend Parasite Cleansing be initiated in the Autumn to coincide with the Chinese Medicine attunement to the season of the Intestines. Chinese Medicine has a rich history and understanding of treating what they call the 'GU.'

In Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM), "Gu" (蛊) refers to a concept encompassing chronic, hard-to-treat illnesses, often involving parasitic, viral, fungal, or bacterial infections that have become systemic and difficult to eradicate. It can manifest as a variety of conditions, including Lyme disease, chronic fatigue, autoimmune disorders, and digestive issues that may fluctuate, but never seem to fully improve. Treating Gu syndrome is holistic in that it's not just about the physical infection; it also involves attention to nourishing the body's weakened state, and restoring health.
