Youtube video about detox

First I want to explain why did I choose this pseudoscience, I choose herbalism and herbology because this to subjects are very interesting and in my surroundings is used a lot for example children in Holland are used to drink herbal tea and it's very good to your health but in Spain it isn't usual, in this essay I did choose to work with herbalism and more specific in the application of this herbs for detoxification.

In this video there's a girl explaining the profits of drinking different types of tea, because now a days with the new technology for example artificial food created by industries, people are more exposed to toxins and illnesses, our organs are designed to eliminate toxins although they are efficient they are weakened by the toxins of our environment by our poor diets and life styles, cleaning and detoxification is our next step for have an optimal health. This girl explains how drinking tea her life and health as improved a lot, for example green tea has a lot of antioxidants protecting our cells and molecules from damage,it also increases fat burning and improves physical performance etc.

In our life styles we are used to detoxificating our external bodies for example taking a shower, cleaning our teeth etc. we have to realize more the importance of detoxificating our internal bodies and whit herbal products we do it in a more naturally way.

In the video I choose I did explain how herbs can detox our bodies but there is  other plants extract that we can use for have a better life style.

Plants have the ability to synthesize chemical compounds that help defend against attack from a wide variety of predators ,but it turn out to have beneficial effects when used to treat human diseases, that's why sometimes is used in medicine.There is little difference between herbal medicine and medicine in terms of what is used, the difference it's in how it is used. So for example you can treat a disease with an extract of a plant but you have to be very careful with the dose because you can also kill someone. So little by little medicine started standardisation the extract of plants and testing everything, while herbal practitioners show and defend that giving the whole plant instead than the extract is better that's why herbalism is not considered a science.
