- Antimicrobial properties*
- Pairs well with Dr. Clark's microbial cleansing protocols
Mimosa pudica is a tropical shrub with a long history in traditional medicine for ailments in the digestive and urinary tracts, as well as a topical application for wounds.
The wide variety of naturally occurring phytochemicals is attributed to Mimosa pudica’s long list of potential health properties, including anti-inflammatory, antimicrobial, antioxidant, antiparasitic, hepatoprotective, and neuroprotective qualities.*
When combined with water, Mimosa pudica seeds form a gelatinous substance. As the gel moves through the digestive tract, it picks up toxins and microbes and removes them from the body. This cleansing ability of Mimosa pudica helps to maintain general gut health and may alleviate symptoms of indigestion.* Mimosa pudica also supports the liver’s role of processing and removing toxins from the body.*
Studies concluded that Mimosa pudica has an antimicrobial effect against certain Gram positive and Gram negative bacterial strains, including E. coli, Salmonella, and Shigella.* The overall antimicrobial properties of Mimosa pudica help the immune system’s defenses against harmful bacteria, viruses, fungi, and parasites.*
To enhance Mimosa pudica's overall health benefits, we’ve added goldenseal root for its antimicrobial properties and ability to protect mucus membranes, such as those lining the intestines, from infections.*
If you’re following Dr. Clark’s Parasite Cleanse protocol, consider adding Mimosa pudica for an extra antimicrobial boost. The bioactive compounds in Mimosa pudica destroy the cell membranes of parasites, yet human cells are left unharmed.* Parasites cannot survive when their protective cell membranes have been disrupted. And then there’s the added bonus of the gelatinous substance picking up microbes and biofilms as it moves down the digestive tract and eliminating them through the stool.
