Our bodies are exposed to toxins on a daily basis – polluted waters, solvents in gasoline, pesticides in our food, chemicals in our beauty products and cleaning supplies, pollution in the air we breathe, and much more. In fact, humans today are exposed to more toxins than ever before. Despite the body’s best effort to eliminate these toxins through its very efficient systems, the onslaught of exposure can cause a build-up of toxins in the body’s tissues over time. This is where detoxification therapy can help.
Detoxification refers to the process of removing chemicals and toxic substances from your body. Detoxification helps purge the body (the liver and the colon in particular) of the toxins and reduces the risk for many diseases in the long run. There are several different types of detoxification, and while some of them target the entire body (such as detox diets or chelation therapy), others target specific organs or areas in particular (colon cleanse). Detoxification therapies can be used to aid the body in eliminating dangerous toxins before they cause major health problems and even disease.
