30 Day European Drainage Cleanse

Drainage remedies are natural herbal remedies that help support our organs of detoxification. By gently stimulating and supporting these organs we help detoxify the body and reverse our toxic burden. The remedies are unique from regular detoxification remedies and nutrients in that they are also energetic. What this means is that they are prepared in either Homeopathic or Spagyric production processes which imbue higher order energetics and information into the products. In my clinical experience this makes them highly effective and potent at reversing chronic disease. When taken as a semi-yearly cleanse they can help lower toxicity in the body and prevent chronic disease.

Drainage remedies come out of the European tradition of Biological Medicine (sometimes also referred to as Bioregulatory Medicine). This is a form of European naturopathic medicine that has been around for over a hundred years. This philosophy of medicine grew out of homeopathy and was pioneered by Dr. Hans-Heinrich Reckeweg a German physician. In the European Biological Medicine approach toxicity is seen as the major cause of disease and dysfunction. By lowering the toxic burden of the body we can help restore proper functioning of our cells and organs, re-establish self regulation and reverse all forms of chronic disease. We do this using these uniquely designed remedies called “Drainage remedies”. A European Biological Medicine practitioner will use Drainage as the foundational pillar on which all other protocols and modalities are layered on top. Dr. Reckeweg started the company Heel in Germany which produces some of the most advanced and cutting edge Drainage remedies on the market. Many of these remedies are difficult if not impossible to obtain in the US.

Another great Germany company that produces advanced Drainage remedies is Soluna GmBH. Soluna has also been around for over 100 years and produces advanced Drainage remedies using the Spagyric preparation method. This is a modern take on an ancient alchemical process that goes back to Paracelsus in the middle ages. The process involves the maceration of complex herbal preparations that are then distilled out for their essential oils. The oils are then recombined or re-united with the original herbal maceration. This separation and recombination process is said to imbue the remedies with higher order information that acts on the energetic level of the body. The remedies have several targeted physical, herbal constituents, for example silymarin from milk thistle in the liver remedy, but the added energetic component of the remedy strengthens and support the liver on an informational and energetic level. Clinically we see this translate into a more powerful and at the same gentle effect on the body. 

The 30 Day European Drainage Cleanse-(with Soluna Remedies)

The minimum amount of time you want to take a round of Drainage remedies for in order to have a beneficial effect on the body is about 30 days. Anyone dealing with chronic illness or dysfunction in any organ system of the body may want to continue on for longer than that. I’ve had patients on Drainage for many months, from 6 months to one year. The more toxic you are the longer you will want to be on Drainage.

For this 30 Day Drainage Cleanse I am suggesting you do a round of Drainage using Soluna remedies (There are other brands you could you use but I am suggesting Soluna since I have seen it have the most beneficial effects. I call Soluna the Rolls Royce of Drainage brands). In order to do the 30 Day Cleanse you have to get the remedies from Germany first. There is a Germany pharmacy in Europe called PaulsMartEurope.com which will ship directly to the US. To complete the cleanse you need to take 1 bottle of each of the 4 major Drainers. Each Drainage remedy targets a specific organ of detoxification: The liver, kidneys, lymphatic system and gut. As a general rule if you are relatively healthy you can start with 15 drops 2x/ day. You want to take the remedies away from any other food or supplement if possible. You can take the remedies directly in your mouth or with some water in a shot glass. It is best to take each remedy separately, one after the other, and not mix them all together. The following is a link to each remedy:

Any time you are going through a detox or drainage protocol it is important that you have minerals on board. As the body starts eliminating toxins it can move a lot of beneficial minerals out of the body as well as collateral damage. By remineralising the body we can ensure a smoother flow of detoxification. I like to recommend Oligo-minerals and Combination cell salts. Oligo-minerals are low dose energetic, colloidal multi-mineral preparations that work well with Drainage remedies. Cell salts are homeopathic mineral salts that add another layer or mineralization to the body. For Oligo-minerals I like Professional Formulas brand and for Cell salts I like UNDA Melange.

Things to Look Out For:

Please consult with your primary care provider first before starting any new supplement regiment especially a course of Drainage. The information in this article is meant for information and educational purposes only. A practitioner who is trained in Drainage can help guide you through some of the potential effects of starting a Drainage protocol. Those primarily include temporary “Detox Reactions”. What are detox reactions? When the body starts to detoxify it can mobilize toxins out of storage and you can have temporary inflammatory reactions. These symptoms are uncomfortable but not dangerous. They are a unique form of “homeopathic detox” reaction” and not the same detox reactions you would get with chelation for example where metals are being moved around the body and the body can become seriously depleted of vitamins and minerals. These detox symptoms represent a temporary inflammatory phase that means we are moving in the right direction as toxins are mobilized out of the body. This is a good sign. In this type of detox reaction the symptoms tend to be more mild and temporary (3-5 days). These can include:

  • Fatigue

  • Aches and pains

  • Fever and chills

  • Stomach aches

  • Rashes

  • Diarrhea

  • Experiencing “old symptoms”

Of these symptoms fatigue is by far the most common. If you experience any of these symptoms while on a course of Drainage and they become uncomfortable you can simply adjust the dose down. Instead of doing 15 drops twice per day you can drop down to 5-10 drops twice per day. If you are concerned about experiencing detox reactions and want to pre-empt them you could start a unique dosing strategy where you ramp up the dose slowly over time. For example you can also start with 1 drop once per day of each remedy and build from there, each successive day adding one drop to the dose until you experience negative symptoms and then dropping down to the dose you were on right before symptoms manifested and stopping there. You can stay on that lower dose for the duration of your cleanse or slowly start building up as you gain tolerance.

If you are a practitioner and would like to learn more about Drainage you can take my online course Intro to Drainage. The course contains over 5 hours of lecture time and goes into great depth on the philosophy and practical application of Drainage remedies to reverse and prevent chronic disease.
