Blender’s Notes Spleen Detox:
Steep Me Self Help combinations are a fantastic way to get health benefits outside of the standard tea leaf. This combination of herbs was built to help detox your Spleen. The spleen is an organ found in all vertebrates. Similar in structure to a large lymph node, it acts primarily as a blood filter. The spleen plays important roles regarding red blood cells and the immune system. It removes old red blood cells and holds a reserve of blood, which can be valuable in case of hemorrhagic shock, and recycles iron. As a part of the mononuclear phagocyte system, it metabolizes hemoglobin removed from senescent red blood cells. The globin portion of hemoglobin is degraded to its constitutive amino acids, and the heme portion is metabolized to bilirubin, which is removed in the liver. We created a detox to help the spleen heal itself while following a low inflammatory diet! In TCM, the Spleen is connected to the Stomach and helps with digesting food and extracting nutrients. Then the Spleen sends these nutrients to the Heart and Lungs, which make Qi and blood. However, if your Spleen Qi is not strong enough to send these nutrients upwards to the Heart and Lungs, the Qi can end up flowing down, leaving you with a poor appetite, gassiness, and diarrhea. he Spleen also helps regulate our blood, so if your Spleen Qi is weak you might notice problems like bruising or blood in your stool. And because your blood flows throughout your body, sending nutrients, oxygen, and Qi to all your major organs, the spleen affects those too. So good spleen health means your brain, muscles, and kidneys will be in decent shape, too. For people new to eastern medicine, it can be confusing to understand how closely related our body and our emotions are. Western medicine usually treats the body and mind as two quite different things, but TCM and Ayurvedic practice emphasize how our emotions and physical health work together. When the two are in harmony, we feel healthy and strong. When they are not, we can get sick! Think about it like this: when we get happy, we do not just feel the emotion in our brain–we also feel the effects on our body. Our heart rate goes up, or we get butterflies in our stomach. On the other hand, when we get really scared, we might start to shake, our muscles might freeze, or the hair on our neck stands up. That is why TCM considers managing your emotions an important part of your overall health! Our organs, emotions, and the elements are connected because we are also supposed to be in harmony with the natural world. As part of our digestive system, the Spleen is connected to the element of earth. To keep your spleen healthy, you need to keep your earth element nice and balanced. That means not overworking yourself–physically or mentally–and being available for the rest you need. When you feel overworked, try to make some time for rest and relaxation, or get outside and ground yourself in nature. Spleen Health 101: The Best Herbs for A Healthy Spleen – welleum
Your spleen is a small organ that sits inside your left rib cage, just above your stomach. In adults, the spleen is about the size of an avocado. The spleen is part of your lymphatic system (which is part of your immune system). It does several important jobs to keep your body healthy. Your spleen: Stores blood. Filters blood by removing cellular waste and getting rid of old or damaged blood cells. Makes white blood cells and antibodies that help you fight infection. Maintains the levels of fluid in your body. Produces antibodies that protect you against infection. There are two parts of the spleen. They each do different jobs. The types of tissue in the spleen are:
White pulp: As part of the immune system, the white pulp produces white blood cells. These blood cells make antibodies. Antibodies fight infection.
Red pulp: The red pulp acts like a filter. It removes waste from the blood and gets rid of old or damaged blood cells. Red pulp also destroys bacteria and viruses.
Many disorders, conditions, injuries, and diseases can cause problems with the spleen. These problems include Enlarged spleen (splenomegaly): Several conditions can cause the spleen to swell and get too big. An enlarged spleen can cause pain and an uncomfortable feeling of fullness, even if you have not eaten much. Splenomegaly is a dangerous condition because the spleen can rupture (tear) or bleed. The spleen can become enlarged from: Blood cancers, such as leukemia and Hodgkin’s lymphoma, and cancer in other parts of the body that metastasize (spread) to the spleen. Blood clots in the spleen or the liver. Certain types of anemia, including hemolytic anemia. Cystic fibrosis (CF). Infections, including mononucleosis (mono), syphilis, malaria, and endocarditis (infection of the heart’s lining). Liver problems, including cirrhosis. Inherited metabolic disorders, such as Gaucher disease. Inflammatory diseases, including sarcoidosis. Protein disorders like amyloidosis. Functional asplenia: This condition happens when your spleen does not work as it should. It may overreact (hypersplenism) and destroy healthy red blood cells. Destroying too many blood cells can increase the risk of infection and lead to bruising and bleeding. Functional asplenia can result from: An accident or trauma that damages the spleen. Celiac disease. Sickle cell disease. Spleen: Function, Location & Size, Possible Problems (clevelandclinic.org)
