Breaking Away: A Trace Element and Herb Regimen for Dismantling Addictions

We’ll start with the essentials: two minerals, magnesium and zinc plus the amino acid L-glutamine. Each ingredient in this regime serves a vital role in supporting your journey to recovery and repair.

First on my list is magnesium, known for its ability to support relaxation and reduce withdrawal symptoms by calming the nervous grid. You can find magnesium in foods like pumpkin seeds, almonds, spinach, or you might prefer a high-quality, vegan magnesium supplement. (Again be intuitive and diligent before buying any supplement. Do not settle for hype or violating ingredients)

Next, zinc steps in to enhance immune function and aid in repairing tissues damaged by addiction. It’s readily available in chickpeas, cashews, and high-quality supplements. Moving forward, we get to L-glutamine, a powerful amino acid that stabilizes blood sugar levels, thereby reducing cravings for sugar and alcohol. You can easily incorporate it into your regime through the consumption of sunflower seeds, almonds, spinach, parsley, cabbage, broccoli, and kale which are rich in glutamine. Other sources include fermented foods: Foods like miso, tempeh, and sauerkraut. A high-quality L-glutamine supplement can provide higher or additional amounts to repair muscle and gut-flora damage. Just an FYI if you’re confused about glutamine vs L-glutamine: Glutamine is the name of an amino acid, and it comes in two forms: L-glutamine and D-glutamine. L-glutamine is the form your vessel uses for things like building muscles, supporting your immune grid, and keeping your gut healthy. It’s found in foods and supplements. Your vessel, when functioning optimally, metabolizes D-glutamine into L-glutamine during detoxing purposes.

The Herbs That Initiate Repair Through Detoxification

When you think of detoxing or detoxification, do you see this action as a form of repair or just flushing and purging of substances? In truth, when you detox, you pave the way for damage repair. And addiction does indeed do damage to organs, and grids, like the endocrine grid. These components are utilized to manifest patterns which include urges, so-called driving forces, cravings, and emotion-based reactions. So detoxification serves an essential preliminary function in every anti-addiction strategy. To support liver detoxification, especially critical when repairing and recovering from alcohol addiction, milk thistle is indispensable. This herb can be ingested in tea, supplement capsule or tincture form. Avoid supplements that mix milk thistle with other herbs. You want it straight with no fillers or additives, if you opt for a capsule supplement. We’ll start my herb ingredient list with an anti-addiction staple herb called kudzu root.
