Did you know that your body naturally filters toxins using the liver, kidneys, digestive system, lungs and even your skin? Heavy metals, pesticides, medications, environmental toxins and excessive alcohol can sometimes be a bit heavy for your body to do on its own though, which is where a detox comes in. A detox helps to aid your body and enhance the detoxing process. The best way to do a detox is with herbal tea. Detox Herbal Blends are designed to help aid the process, naturally. A common misconception around Detoxes is that you need to fast to see results. However, fasting can actually lead to nutritional deficiencies, weight gain and more. Fuelling your body correctly with healthy, nutrient rich foods is important to ensure your body is getting exactly what it needs to function optimally.

During your detox, you should:

  • Limit Alcohol
  • Reduce salt and processed sugar intake
  • Avoid processed foods and take-out
  • Hydrate
  • Get your 8 hours of sleep
  • Be active
  • Eat foods rich with anti-oxidants, vitamins and minerals

Before beginning a detox, be sure to consult with your health practitioner.

 

If you are needing to detox from toxins such as chemicals, pesticides, environmental toxins, or endogenous toxins like yeast, paracites and hormonal excess, book an appointment with our Naturopath Katherine De Jonge. As a naturopath Katherine can customise a herbal blend that suits your individual needs.

If you are experiencing serious health conditions like below:

  • Headaches
  • indigestion, constipation or bloating
  • Muscle aching and weakness
  • Chronic fatigue and lethargy
  • Nerve pain or numbness
  • Lowered immunity or allergies
  • Sensitivity to environmental chemicals and strong odors eg perfume
  • Depression, anxiety and mood swings
  • Hormonal issues such as PMS or heavy irregular periods

You may require a Naturopathic Detox plan that could include herbs and detox nutrients such as antioxidant and anti-inflammatory nutrients, glutathione, turmeric, quercetin, lipoic acid, selenium, copper, vitamin E, and zinc. Binders like silicon (high affinity to mercury) clays and charcoal.

 

Begin your year with a Healthy Detox to flush out all the toxins from the year before. It’s like wiping the slate clean for your body.
