• Detoxification Has Become One of the Cornerstones of Alternative Medicine

    Detoxification is a very beneficial therapy for the prevention of illness and an aid to increasing your overall health and vitality. In today’s world, more people are becoming aware of and suffering the effects of environmental pollution, making detox a prominent part of their treatment plan.

    Detoxification is now one of the more widely used treatments in alternative medicine for good reason. It is based on the principle that illnesses can be caused by the accumulation of toxic substances (toxins) in the body. Therefore, it is extremely important to eliminate toxins that are existing as well as identify where toxins are coming from, and avoiding them.

    Toxins have short term and long term affects on the body.  They can accumulate for years, and you may end up having problems finding a diagnosis to your symptoms. Detoxification is also known as “body cleansing” where the treatment plan looks at all aspects of your health, and aims to rid the body of these toxins.

    Some of the detox recommendations may include:

    • diet changes
    • fasting
    • consuming exclusively or avoiding specific foods
