Detoxification 

Detoxification (detox for short) is the physiological or medicinal removal of toxic substances from a living organism, including the human body, which is mainly carried out by the liver. Practiced for centuries by cultures around the world — including Ayurvedic and Chinese medicine systems — detoxification is about resting, cleansing and nourishing the body from the inside out. By removing and eliminating toxins, then feeding your body with healthy nutrients, detoxifying can help protect you from disease and renew your ability to maintain optimum health.

 

How does Detoxification work?

Basically, detoxification cleanses the blood by removing impurities from the blood in the liver, where toxins are processed for elimination. The body also eliminates toxins through the kidneys, intestines, lungs, lymphatic system, and skin. However, when these systems are compromised, impurities aren't properly filtered and the body is adversely affected. A detox program can help the body's natural cleansing process by:

​

• Resting the organs through fasting;

• Stimulating the liver to drive toxins from the body;

• Promoting elimination through the intestines, kidneys, and skin;

• Improving circulation of the blood; and

• Refueling the body with healthy nutrients.

​

Detoxification works because it addresses the needs of individual cells, the smallest units of human life. Everyone should detox at least once a year. However, nursing mothers, children, and patients with chronic degenerative diseases, cancer or tuberculosis should consult their healthcare practitioner if they have questions about detoxing. Today, with more toxins in the environment than ever, it's critical to detox.
