If you find yourself trapped outside- with no food for several days, you can eat the following.
1-- Clover leaves-- especially from those tiny clovers with the small yellow flowers that grow along sidewalks. They are high in vitamin C and even taste lemony.
2- Dandilion Leaf. High in absorbable Iron and Vitamins. The roots are especially great anti-viral, anti-bacterial agents.
3- Grass- is actually edible, provided it isn't sprayed with pesticides.
4- Pine Needles. Pine needles are high in vitamin C and were used centuries ago to prevent scurvy by pioneer men.
There are others like Horsetail Grass, Violas, Nasturtium, etc., - but these are the most common.

DETOX HERBS
The use of herbal formulas to cleanse and detox the body has been used throughout the world and throughout the ages. Herbs can be used alone for their individual functions or together for a more complete cleanse. They are often used in conjunction with a fasting detox to accelerate and enhance the cleanse.
Herbs come in many forms such as tinctures, teas, powders, fresh, or dried. They can also be purchased as combinations as part of a cleanse program. Please be aware of potential drug interactions prior to taking any herbal remedies and check with your physician if you are pregnant or nursing.
Some of the more commonly used detox herbs are:
Milk Thistle Milk Thistle helps cleanse the liver from alcohol, drugs, heavy metals as well as protecting the liver from future toxins. It is also a mild laxative and soothes and moistens mucus membranes.
Spirulina Spirulina is actually a very safe whole food (not an herb) and can be eaten every day. It is a blue/green algae containing chlorophyll which is known as nature’s green magic for its cleansing capabilities. It also builds the immune system, lowers cholesterol, rebuilds intestinal flora. Effective in eliminating heavy metals and dioxins, spirulina is also a terrific source of protein, beta carotene, iron and GLA (an essential fatty acid).
Red Clover Red clover cleanses the blood, increases urine & mucous production, improves circulation, and stimulates bile production.
Echinacea Echinacea is used to cleanse and detox the lymphatic system.
Licorice Root Licorice Root cleanses the colon, supports lung & spleen function, and promotes adrenal gland function. It also has anti-inflammatory properties and increases mucous fluidity in lungs.
Dandelion In addition to dandelions many nutritional benefits, it provides urinary & glandular benefits, acts as a liver & kidney tonic and as a blood purifier.
