Detox Products

When you are feeling sluggish, having skin problems, aches and pains, even digestive issues. You might have shifted from healthier habits recently or your body has simply had enough of what you are feeding it.

The time has come for a detox..... What is a detox?

Detoxification basically means cleaning the blood. Some would say 'flushing out your system'. Over a period of time your body build ups toxins, these are impurities that are not properly filtered and body cells are adversely affected.

A detox mainly removes impurities from the blood in the liver which is where toxins are processed. The body also eliminates toxins through the kidneys, intestines, lungs, lymph and skin. However, it often needs help when over worked.

The 24 Hour Detox Plan by Gillian McKeith

Detoxes don't need to be harsh, punishing or complicated. Green tea for example has detoxification properties and there are ready made detox plans but before you embark upon any detoxification it is important to look at your lifestyle at the moment.

Ideally you need to eliminate alcohol, coffee, cigarettes, refined sugars and saturated fats,because these are likely to be part of the toxins in you and will act as obstacles during your detox process.

It is also worth looking at your use of chemical-based household cleaners and personal health care products (cleansers, shampoos, deodorants and toothpastes), and substitute natural alternatives.

Is detoxification safe? Consult your doctor if you have concerns about whether detoxing is right for you, particularly if you are a nursing mother or have chronic degenerative diseases, cancer or tuberculosis. It is important that you talk with your GP relating to detox with children.
