ABOUT DETOX THERAPIES...

DETOX THERAPIES of different types have become very popular in recent years, in response to the increasing burden we place on our body's internal organs, caused by our modern lifestyles. Detoxification, to give it its full name, is a way of assisting the body eliminate toxins, restoring essential nutrients, and boosting energy levels.

Careless eating habits, excess alchohol, caffeine and a diet of highly processed food can all put a strain on the natural elimination processes normally carried out by the liver and other organs. Over time this can lead to lack of energy, dry skin conditions, constipation, digestive disorders, and unhealthy weight gain.
A full 'detox' can effectively speed up the removal of toxic substances from the body, rebalance the bacteria in the bowel, increase general energy levels and also allows the liver to recover.

There are various detox systems available today - these range from special diets, drinks and high energy foods, herbal remedies, nutritional supplements, fasting, sweat lodges, colonic hydrotherapy (internal cleansing), to special purpose built equipment, designed to draw out toxins from the body through the feet.

Before embarking on any detox treatment, it's advisable to consult a health professional trained in nutrition and detoxification processes, for advice on the safest and most beneficial method for your particular needs.
Detoxing may also be recommended as an integral part of other holistic treatments, such as naturopathy, ayurvedic medicine, allergy elimination, or nutritional therapy, and should be carried out under the ongoing supervision of the appropriate practitioner.
