Drainage and Detoxification for the New Year
[email to a friend]
01/14/2009
The New Year – a time for reflection, renewal and rejuvenation. A perfect time to clean out our bodies after indulging in all the holiday foods and drinks and start afresh!
We are constantly exposed to numerous toxic substances even without knowing it. Our body has to defend itself against environmental toxins, residues of poor nutrition and drugs, viruses and bacteria as well as toxic metabolites produced by the body’s normal metabolism. Many diseases such as cancer, arthritis, allergies, and endocrine imbalances rely on the slow down of the body to eliminate and manage toxins.
What are the major organs for Drainage and Detoxification?
• Lymphatic System
• Liver
• Kidneys
• Bowels
• Skin
• Lungs
When should I start a Drainage and Detoxification therapy?
A drainage and detoxification therapy is recommended at least twice a year.
If your body is toxic, it may give you various warning signals or symptoms.
These are some of the symptoms:
• Allergies (e.g. to foods, chemicals, pollen, dust, or others)
• Joint pain
• Asthma
• Fatigue
• Digestion problems, heart burn, indigestion, constipation
• Insomnia or frequent mood swings
• Weight gain
• Skin problems like rashes, eczema, or others
How can I support my detoxification therapy?
Here are useful tips for a healthy lifestyle:
• Drink a minimum of 32 oz. of water a day
• Reduce stress or learn how to deal with it better (e.g. YOGA, Acupuncture, Meditate!)
• Have a nutritionally balanced diet (proteins, carbohydrates, healthy fats, fresh vegetables and fruit) and make sure that you are getting a sufficient amount of dietary fibers, vitamins and minerals each day
• Avoid processed foods and fast foods as much as possible
• Reduce intake of coffee, black tea and alcohol and do not smoke
• Make sure to get enough sleep
• Exercise regularly (walking, swimming, cycling, aerobics, yoga, pilates, etc)
• Make a conscious effort to maintain a constant positive attitude and do things that you enjoy more often
Why use the Detox Kit?
This kit is made in Germany by HEEL and is a homeopathic remedy to naturally detoxify the body. It will not interact with any pharmaceutical medications and is safe to use concurrently. Dietary and lifestyle changes are not necessary while doing the detox kit.
The Detox Kit stimulates and supports the key organs responsible for drainage, detoxification and excretion, which are the lymphatic system, the liver and kidneys respectively. Put 30 drops of each formula into 8oz. of water and drink once daily for four weeks. Ask your health care practitioner for more information.
