blood purifier

Toxin removal system

A blood purifier is a substance or preparation claimed to cleanse the blood of impurities or toxins.

The term belongs mainly to traditional medicine and 19th-century patent remedies, when "purifying the blood" was thought to cure skin conditions, fatigue, and general ill health.

Modern medicine doesn't recognize blood purification in this sense, though the term persists in herbal medicine marketing: This tonic acts as a natural blood purifier.
