Detox: what does it mean, and why should I do it?

Detox is a very popular word used throughout the alternative community. Sometimes used too sparingly, Detox or Detoxification, refers to a process primarily preformed by the liver to get rid of metabolic and toxic waste. It is a normal process that the body undergoes, however is often overwhelmed by the increasing amounts of toxins from food, water and air (not to mention medications) that accumulate overtime. Some examples of toxins include polluted air, solvents, heavy metals, radiation and auto-exhaust that some of us encounter more than others.  Signs that your detoxification capacity is impiaired include, but are not limited to: Allergies, Fatigue, PMS, Asthma, Insomnia, Muscle joint pain, and skin disorders

Our goal in detoxification is to improve the functioning of the liver and other organs that aid in the elimination of these toxins. Some benefits include healthy skin, improved energy, weight loss, mental clarity, and better digestion.  A proper detoxification requires a supportive protocol before, during and after including specific supplementation, nutrition, herbals, and hydrotherapy that will help you feel better, for longer.
