You’ve probably heard of the epiphysis or pineal gland. It is a gland in the brain that controls many important things in the body. That is why it is important to take care of it and detoxify it regularly.
This small gland is located in the center of the brain and its function is related to our physical and mental well-being. Because of that it is often also called the “third eye”.
Unfortunately, the pineal gland is nowadays bombarded by many toxins due to the polluted environment and the hectic lifestyle we lead.
It is also negatively affected by unhealthy foods we consume and the stress we are exposed to daily.
Therefore the epiphysis becomes somewhat hardened or, in other words, calcified. This condition then significantly disrupts its basic functions.
Functions and tasks of the pineal gland
This tendinous gland is located in the center of the brain. Its shape and size are similar to a blueberry or a pea.
The main role of the pineal gland is the production of melatonin, a chemical whose function is to regulate our sleep. Its level in the blood is highest at night. In addition, melatonin is also a powerful antioxidant that slows aging.
The epiphysis also secretes another hormone, serotonin. It is a neurotransmitter that maintains the balance of our mind and makes us happy.
The body can also chemically convert serotonin into melatonin. These are therefore interrelated hormones, the first acting at night, the other during the day.
People claim that taking melatonin supplements creates increased feelings of empathy.
It is also assumed that the epiphysis produces the substance DMT. It is a substance associated with creativity, imagination, dreams and even hallucinations.
This also explains why the epiphysis is called the “third eye”.
Causes of pineal gland calcification
Our pineal gland calcifies as a result of toxin accumulation. The main culprit is fluoride, which is found in Teflon pans, in most toothpastes and even in many preparations.
Other causes of epiphysis calcification include:
- refined sugar
- most processed foods
- alcohol
- caffeine
- hormones
- mercury (found in most fish)
- tobacco
The most effective ways to detoxify the epiphysis
Among the proven methods of decalcifying and detoxifying the pineal gland are the following:
1. Vitamin K (K1 and K2)
This vitamin appears in two forms – as K1 and K2. The first is found in green leafy vegetables, while K2 is produced by the gut microflora in the intestines.
It is also present in foods such as egg yolks, chicken or goose liver, dairy products from organically raised cows, fish roe, sauerkraut, fish oils (omega 3 fatty acids) and mollusks.
In combination with vitamins A and D3 it removes calcium not only from the arteries but also from the epiphysis. It then transfers it to where it belongs – the bones1.
2. Iodine
Studies have shown that iodine removes sodium fluoride through urine.
The problem is that many people are deficient in it. Therefore you should eat more iodine-rich foods such as sea fish and seaweed.
3. Garlic
Garlic is one of the strongest natural antibiotics and also detoxifies the epiphysis by dissolving calcium.
You should take half a crushed clove every other day. Spread it, for example, with honey on bread with butter.
If the smell bothers you too much, soak it in freshly squeezed lemon juice or apple cider vinegar.
4. Apple cider vinegar
Raw apple cider vinegar has a high content of malic acid, which detoxifies this gland.
Add it to salads or other dishes. You can simply dilute 1 teaspoon of vinegar with lukewarm water and drink it.
5. Boron
Boron is another strong detoxifier for the pineal gland. It effectively removes fluoride from the body, thereby preventing its further calcification.
6. Distilled water
Distilled water is the purest form of water that flushes toxins and calcium from the body.
Still, make sure that during this method you also consume enough minerals that are missing in distilled water.
7. Tamarind
Tamarind is commonly used in Ayurveda. It is made from the bark of the tamarind tree. It effectively removes fluoride from tissues and flushes it out of the body in urine.
Tamarind is often added to some curry sauces because of its sweet-and-sour taste. It is also used to prepare teas and tinctures by steeping in hot water for 2-3 minutes.
Conclusion
The health of the epiphysis is of great importance to our overall health, because in addition to improving sleep quality it enhances feelings of well-being, happiness and good mood.
Detoxify the pineal gland several times a year for 4-5 days to cleanse it and support its functions.
Also make sure that you permanently and as much as possible reduce fluoride intake, which harms it the most.
