Most people dread the thought of a detox. What comes to mind? Fasting, discomfort, only liquids for days, and deprivation. Not something that seems like a cakewalk after years of cake.
Relax, there is good news, no need to punish yourself to be healthy. You can detoxify without the discomfort and still become healthier with long-term health benefits. If you feel that you are in need of some reworking of your health, or are suffering from the symptoms listed below, then a healthy natural homeopathic liver cleanser is one of the best things you can do.
A natural and helpful way to rid your body of toxins is through detoxification. These toxins come from your environment and from inside your body and build up over time throughout the span of your life. Some of the toxins from the environment are heavy metals (e.g. mercury, lead, cadmium, arsenic), cosmetics, detergents, alcohol, caffeine, poor nutrition, medications, pesticides, detergents, pollution, and smoking.
Clogging up your metabolic processes, these toxins will produce bad cholesterol, gallstones, hormones, bacteria, and even parasites. On top of the environmental toxins, your body will produce its own toxins on a daily basis.
Detoxification is currently done by supporting the organs used directly in your body's natural detoxification processes; the liver, kidneys, and digest tract with proper nutrition, supplementation, and the use of a liver cleanser. You may also eat during this type of detoxification, but your food choices must be healthy, avoiding anything that would ad toxins to your body. Not eating, or fasting, taxes the body and puts tremendous stress on your organs, and can cause serious health problems.
Dr. Khush Mark (consultant in Nutrition and Metabolic Typing with degrees in Pharmacology, Toxicology, and Pathology, Oncology, Human Nutrition, and Practical Homeopathy) distinguishes between detoxification and cleansing and says that the two go hand-in-hand. She links detoxification to cleaning a car using an automated system to wash the outside, and cleansing, to taking your car to a valet where the inside and outside become clean and shiny.
Body cleansing is a more precise system of detoxification and can incorporate multiple areas of focus such as kidney cleanse, cell cleanse, parasite cleanse, or gall bladder cleanse. A liver cleanse focuses on the liver, one of the most important organs in the body providing detoxification.
Liver cleansing and detoxification may just turn your health around and slow down or even prevent the formation of some illnesses including irritable bowel syndrome, obesity, diabetes, multiple sclerosis, chronic fatigue syndrome, obesity, acne, infertility, eczema, fibromyalgia, depression, hair loss and more.
