Detoxification is a healing technique that has been used for centuries by cultures all over the globe. Incorporate the following detoxification techniques into your life and add regular exercise and a nutrient-rich organic diet to enjoy optimal health and well-being.
Hyperthermia Techniques
Used by ancient Greek physicians, in the ornate bath complexes of the Romans, in the sweat lodges of the North American natives, and in the steam baths of the Scandinavians, hyperthermia techniques heat body temperature to above normal. The heat gets your heart beating and your blood circulating. Steam helps clear the sinuses, relieve respiratory congestion, and cause sweating which, in turn, aids in elimination of toxins through pores.
Dry Skin Brushing
This is a European technique that has been used to remove the top layer of old skin, aiding in the elimination of mucous residues and uric acid crystals. Dry skin brushing increases cell renewal, cleanses the lymph system, and stimulates circulation. It also opens pores for better assimilation of nutrients. Purchase an all-natural, vegetable fiber brush with a long handle to reach out-of-the-way places. Before jumping in the shower, brush from the outermost points of your body-the feet and hands-towards the center of your body. Brush the bottoms of the feet, as nerve endings here affect the entire body.
Chlorophyll-Rich Foods
Chlorophyll-rich foods such as spirulina, chlorella, and leafy greens, help clear the skin, cleanse the kidneys, and clean and build the blood. Eating chlorophyll-rich food will help boost immunity and rid the body of unwanted substances. Purchase these green superfoods in powder form at your local health food store and add them to fruit and vegetable juices to sustain well-being.
Green Tea
Said to be first enjoyed by a Chinese emperor in 2,700 B.C., green tea is rich in bioflavonoids with antioxidant and anti-allergen properties. Green tea combats free radical damage to protect against degenerative disease and boosts enzyme production in the body. It also has antibiotic, antiviral, and antibacterial properties and is highly valued as a cancer preventative.
Herbs
Milk Thistle is one of the best liver cleansing tonics known for regenerating, repairing, even reversing liver damage. Burdock is one of the best blood purifiers in the herbal world, and its use dates back to ancient Greece.
Homeopathics
Known to repair and detoxify the entire body, homeopathic remedies have been used to treat mercury toxicity, negative effects from vaccinations, and tobacco addiction. Nux vomica is one of the leading homeopathic remedies for detoxification. It is used to treat alcohol hangovers and oversensitivity to medication.
Use these detoxifying health techniques to enrich your life, foster prevention, and inspire a future of less stress, less disease, and longer days!
