Who Can Use the Complete Cleanse Kit

The Complete Cleanse Kit is formulated and dosed to be safe for children and adults alike. Here is a quick breakdown of who it is designed for and who should hold off. Age Guidelines - Children Ages 3 to 12: The formula and dosing are designed specifically for children's developing digestive systems, with a gentle, consistent approach that works over 30 days. - Teens and Adults: The same gentle formula works well for teens and adults too, with the option of a standard or more intensive approach depending on your goals. Who Should Not Use This - Children Under 3: Very young children have more sensitive digestive systems and detox pathways. We recommend waiting until your child is at least 3 years old. - Pregnant Women: Some herbs can pass through the placenta. We do not recommend the kit during pregnancy. - Breastfeeding Mothers: We have not yet conducted enough testing to guarantee the formula's effects on milk supply or a baby's developing system, so we advise against it while breastfeeding. - Anyone with Medical Conditions or Taking Medications: Check with your pediatrician or healthcare provider first to make sure everything works well together. When in Doubt If you are unsure whether the cleanse is right for your child, we always recommend checking in with your pediatrician. We would rather you feel completely confident before you start.

Using the Kit as a Teenager or Adult

The Complete Cleanse Kit is absolutely effective for adults and teens. Many parents choose to cleanse alongside their children using the same time-tested herbs. While we formulated and marketed the kit with kids in mind (alcohol-free, great-tasting, and gentle), the ingredients are professional-grade and support better digestion, reduced cravings, and improved energy at any age. Dosing Options for Teens and Adults - Standard Support: 1 mL of ParaHaven and ParaBinder once daily for 30 days. This is the same dose as the children's protocol and is ideal for ongoing gut maintenance or first-time cleansing. - Intensive Support: 2 mL of each, taken twice daily for 15 days, to address more persistent gut discomfort or brain fog. One kit covers a full intensive cleanse. The option is designed for adults who want a deeper cleanse in a shorter window. It still uses one kit per person, just spread over 15 days instead of 30. Pro Tip Mix your dose into water, juice, or a smoothie to soften the herbal notes.

Pregnancy and Breastfeeding

We want to be upfront with you here, because your health and your baby's health are not something we take lightly. 💛 During Pregnancy We do not recommend taking ParaHaven or ParaBinder during pregnancy. During this time, the body prioritizes the baby, and some of the herbs in our formula can pass through the placenta. Even with a gentle, herbal cleanse like ours, we strongly recommend discussing it with your healthcare provider before starting. While Breastfeeding We also do not currently recommend using the kit while breastfeeding. We have not yet conducted enough testing to guarantee its effects on milk supply or a baby's developing system. Because the detoxifying herbs could potentially release stored toxins into the body, we prefer to take an extra-cautious approach. Your safety and your baby's health come first, always. If you have specific questions, your midwife or OB is the best person to consult.

Allergen

Your child's safety is our top priority, and we want to be completely clear about this one. ParaHaven contains black walnut hull. Because of this, it is not suitable for anyone with a tree nut allergy, including allergies to walnuts or cashews. If your child has a known tree nut allergy, we recommend skipping ParaHaven. Supporting Your Child Without ParaHaven If ParaHaven is not an option for your child due to a nut allergy, here are some gentle ways to support their gut health in the meantime: - Gut Support: A high-quality probiotic can help balance the microbiome and support digestive health. - Hydration and Fiber: Increasing water intake and fiber-rich foods keeps digestion moving smoothly. - Immune Resilience: Vitamin-rich whole foods support your child's natural defenses. If you have questions about what is right for your child specifically, we always recommend checking in with your pediatrician.

Does My Child Need a Parasite Diagnosis to Start?

Most parents who've been through this never got a positive test. They recognised a pattern of symptoms that wouldn't go away and saw their child change after the cleanse. Traditional lab tests often miss intermittent infections, and many parents never get a clear answer from testing, even when their child shows real signs of gut disruption. ParaHaven is designed to proactively create a gut environment that is less welcoming to unwanted organisms, whether or not parasites have been confirmed. What the Cleanse Does Even Without a Confirmed Infection - Gentle Cleansing: Food-based herbs like Clove and Wormwood support digestive balance and microbial harmony without being harsh on the system. - Toxin Removal: ParaBinder acts as a cleanup tool, capturing metals and metabolic waste to support regularity, focus, and sleep. - Low Impact: Without an active infection, there is no "die-off" to push through, making the process feel light and supportive rather than intense. Even children who are just experiencing general gut sluggishness, mood shifts, or disrupted sleep often see real improvements through a cleanse.

What Types of Parasites Does the Cleanse Target?

Help Centre • Last updated Feb 20, 2026 What Types of Parasites Does the Cleanse Target? ParaHaven* is formulated to target parasites at every stage of their lifecycle (eggs, larvae, and adults). Most parasite products only address adult worms. This one doesn't leave the rest behind. How It Works: Three Herbs, Three Stages Each herb in the formula has a specific job. Together, they cover the full lifecycle so parasites can't simply hatch and rebuild. 🌿 Clove: targets eggs Clove is the only common antiparasitic herb with documented activity specifically against parasite eggs. Its active compound, eugenol, disrupts the protective casing of eggs before they can hatch, stopping the cycle at the source. Research has shown 100% egg mortality against common parasites within 24 hours of exposure. 🌰 Black Walnut Hull: targets larvae & adults Black Walnut Hull contains juglone, a compound that inhibits the enzymes parasites need to survive and reproduce. It has been used in traditional medicine for centuries, specifically to expel worms, and is most effective against larval and adult stages across a broad range of intestinal parasites. 🌿 Wormwood — targets larvae & adults Wormwood contains artemisinin, a compound so effective against parasites that a derivative of it earned a Nobel Prize in Medicine in 2015. It disrupts parasite metabolism and nervous system signalling, and has been studied across multiple peer-reviewed clinical trials for its activity against larvae and adult worms. Why 30 Days? Parasites don't all hatch at once; they emerge in waves. A 30-day protocol ensures that eggs present at the start of the cleanse have time to hatch and are caught at the larval or adult stage. A shorter cleanse misses this window, and the cycle starts again. Which Parasites Does It Target? The formula is designed to work broadly, not against one specific organism. Common intestinal parasites it supports against include: - Pinworms — the most common parasitic infection in children in the US - Roundworms - Tapeworms - Threadworms - Hookworms - Giardia Because exposure is ongoing through school, pets, food, and everyday contact, monthly cleansing helps keep the gut environment clear after the initial protocol is complete.
