Detox Cleansing the Body Inside Out




Detoxification has been a lengthy discussion ever since. Whether to
detox or not, is up to you.



Even though you are 'healthy' this does not mean that you don't need to
detox. Sure our body does this on a continual basis, our kidneys and
livers are constantly working by cleaning out all the pollutants
(smoke, caffeine, chemical-based products etc) in our body. Detox
strengthen our organs back to optimal function.



Basically, this is done through fasting, therefore resting the organs
and stimulating the liver by pushing away the toxins from the body.
Nourishing the body with healthy nutrients is also done to maintain
optimum health. It has been practiced for centuries around the world by
different cultures.



Although a lot of people want whole body detoxification, some wants to
have a detox on a particular organ only, such as the kidney, liver or
colon. During kidney cleansing, herbal supplements and juices are used
to dissolve and wash out kidney stones; particular foods are consumed
in liver cleansing causing the gall bladder and liver to remove fatty
deposits and toxins out of the body. Colon cleansing on the other hand,
gently flushes the colon with water providing a pathway for the release
of toxins.



There are also techniques used in whole body cleansing such as:



Fasting. Water or juice fasting is applied for a period of time to
lessen toxic loads in the body causing the body to heal itself and
nourish inside out.



Parasite cleaning. Right amount of pills or tinctures made out of
bitter herbs are consumed to build an unreceptive environment for the
parasites inside the body.



Contrast Shower. The contrast among hot and cold water enhances
circulation, helps in detoxifying thus having a stronger immune system.
This also helps by bringing oxygen, nutrients and immune cells towards
damaged and stressed tissue and flushes metabolic waste and other toxins.



Sauna, yoga, exercise, raw food dieting and dry skin brushing also
enhance the body's natural cleansing process.



Other Detoxifying aids



There are a number of safe products that helps in the cleansing process
such as cleansing supplement packages (with easy-to-follow instructions),
detox foot patches, commercially prepared detox teas,
Epsom salts, high-class multivitamins for daily intake and antioxidants
like Q10 and E that can be found at health food stores.



Before and after side effects:



As the procedures differ, so do the benefits.



During the detox, you'll most likely feel the side effects that take
place during the first few days such as headaches, feeling weak, sore
muscles, cranky moods and unable to sleep soundly.



There are also a number of positive side effects days after the
cleansing process. You will feel energetic, mental clarity improved,
skin is clearer, improved sleep, and have a positive attitude in life
for a fresh start.



Detoxification is safe and beneficial for our health. It is suggested
that each one should at least have a short detoxification program
yearly. However, children, nursing mothers, and patients with cancer,
chronic degenerative illness and tuberculosis should consult their
physician first for approval and supervision or find someone who is
familiar with detox.



If you decide to award your body with holiday, find a nutritional
therapist who is familiar with detox.

Here's how:



You can call your friends who are into health foods and alternative
medicines, ask them for a person who they can refer. Another way is to
search in the yellow pages under nutrition or by looking for ads in
health publication in your locality. Get the name of someone you found
whose name appears in more than one place and check for his profile,
like from which school he/she attended the training and if it's an
accredited one. Also ask how long he's been in practice.
