Detoxification is a process that your body undertakes every day
to help eliminate toxins and restore a healthy balance. Your body
is constantly exposed to toxins from the external world, as well
as those created within. The human body is amazing in the way
that it has evolved since prehistoric times to adjust to the everchanging
world; but what happens when the toxins in our world
are evolving faster than humans? This can increase the body’s
toxic burden and impact on its ability to clear toxins.
Do you want
your body to effectively and efficiently eliminate toxins you are
exposed to? Or maybe you are interested in detoxing because
you want to look and feel even healthier! Have you noticed any
signs or symptoms that indicate your body may be suffering from
the burden of toxins and be in need of a good detox?
Signs that indicate you
may need to detox:
• Digestive complaints
• Skin problems
• Hormonal imbalances
• Neurological conditions
• Poor energy
• Weight gain or difficulty
losing weight
• Food intolerances
• Exposure to pollution and
chemicals
• Exposure to new cars and new
furniture
• Smoking, alcohol and coffee
consumption
• Diets high in saturated fats,
refined carbohydrates, processed
and packaged foods
• Fertility and pre-conception care
• Overweight or obesity
What’s Involved in Detox?
Your individualised Detoxification Program will involve reducing
the toxins that you are exposed to on a daily basis, whilst
strengthening the function of your detox organs to process and
eliminate toxins stored in your body. This is known as reducing
the toxic burden and improving your toxic resistance, thereby
enhancing your ability to cope with toxins. Detox can greatly
improve your overall health and wellbeing.
The following ingredients can help promote your detoxification
abilities:
• Milk thistle, green tea, gardenia: Stimulate the liver,
enhancing the elimination of toxins.
• Dandelion, ginger, meadowsweet: These herbs
regulate healthy digestion by increasing digestive juices
and enzymes.
• Glutamine and zinc: Nutrients to protect and heal the gut.
Your Practitioner will recommend a Detox Program that is tailored
to your individual health needs. Therapeutic detox options
include an Integrated Detoxification, or a Specialised Gut, Liver
or Heavy Metal Chelation Program for more targeted results.
When detoxing, it is important to reduce the toxic load that
you are encountering in your daily life. We tailor a detox diet to encourage clean eating and reduce
your exposure to dietary toxins. This diet will be rich in fresh fruit
and vegetables, low in animal fats, and contain alkalising and
anti-inflammatory foods.
It is just as important to remove other “toxins” from your daily
life that may be affecting your health such as assessing toxic household chemicals like personal care items, cleaning products, and plastics used for food containers and water bottles; encouraging healthier choices. Stress is also a major factor
that may need addressing.We can tailor all these into an easy to follow detoxification programme for you.
