Blessed Herbs Colon Cleansing Kit
It’s the New Year and many of you are ready for a cleanse, a great first step toward better health! Blessed Herbs makes our favorite colon cleansing kit. Each kit includes delicious ginger or peppermint shakes (whichever is right for your body type), a gentle digestive stimulator, detailed directions for three different cleanses, and even a convenient shaker jar.

Choose from a light 30 day cleanse to an intense 8 day cleanse, or customize your own. The intense version is sure to rid you of years of mucoid plaque and other toxins lining the digestive tract. The results are unbeatable and the health benefits outweigh any other cleanse we have experienced!

Rolfing®
Rolfing® is the art and science of reshaping the human body via manipulation of the connective tissues so that it is better balanced and aligned. Rolfers specifically look at how gravity has been shortening and collapsing a body in order to undo the negative effects of one's personal history.

The benefits include fewer aches and pains, greater ease and freedom of movement, and reduced stress.
