  <description>&lt;p&gt;The New Year &amp;ndash; a time for reflection, renewal and rejuvenation.&amp;nbsp; A perfect time to clean out our bodies after indulging in all the holiday foods and drinks and start afresh!&lt;br /&gt;
We are constantly exposed to numerous toxic substances even without knowing it.&amp;nbsp; 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&amp;rsquo;s normal metabolism.&amp;nbsp; Many diseases such as cancer, arthritis, allergies, and endocrine imbalances rely on the slow down of the body to eliminate and manage toxins.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
What are the major organs for Drainage and Detoxification?&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;bull;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp; Lymphatic System&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;bull;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp; Liver&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;bull;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp; Kidneys&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;bull;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp; Bowels&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;bull;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp; Skin&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;bull;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp; Lungs&lt;br /&gt;
When should I start a Drainage and Detoxification therapy?&lt;br /&gt;
A drainage and detoxification therapy is recommended at least twice a year.&lt;br /&gt;
If your body is toxic, it may give you various warning signals or symptoms.&lt;br /&gt;
These are some of the symptoms:&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;bull;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp; Allergies (e.g. to foods, chemicals, pollen, dust, or others)&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;bull;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp; Joint pain&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;bull;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp; Asthma&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;bull;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp; Fatigue&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;bull;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp; Digestion problems, heart burn, indigestion, constipation&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;bull;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp; Insomnia or frequent mood swings&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;bull;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp; Weight gain&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;bull;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp; Skin problems like rashes, eczema, or others&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
How can I support my detoxification therapy?&lt;br /&gt;
Here are useful tips for a healthy lifestyle:&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;bull;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp; Drink a minimum of 32 oz. of water a day&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;bull;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp; Reduce stress or learn how to deal with it better (e.g. YOGA, Acupuncture, Meditate!)&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;bull;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp; 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&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;bull;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp; Avoid processed foods and fast foods as much as possible&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;bull;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp; Reduce intake of coffee, black tea and alcohol and do not smoke&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;bull;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp; Make sure to get enough sleep&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;bull;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp; Exercise regularly (walking, swimming, cycling, aerobics, yoga, pilates, etc)&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;bull;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp; Make a conscious effort to maintain a constant positive attitude and do things that you enjoy more often&lt;br /&gt;
Why use the Detox Kit?&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
This kit is made in Germany by HEEL and is a homeopathic remedy to naturally detoxify the body.&amp;nbsp; 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.&amp;nbsp; &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
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.&amp;nbsp; Put 30 drops of each formula into 8oz. of water and drink once daily for four weeks.&amp;nbsp; Ask your health care practitioner for more information.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Test your toxicity level!&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
There is a toxicity quiz available at Lotus 7 Yoga and Pilates Studio by Dr. Lopes to determine your toxicity level and the need for a detox kit. &lt;br /&gt;
Also, look out for a nutrition class geared toward detoxifying the body in January that will include a free detox kit as part of the series! Space is limited, book in advance.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Patient testimonials include: improved digestion, better sleep, clearer skin, improved concentration, energy and focus, decreased lymphademia, weight loss, regular menstrual cycles, decreased headaches and fatigue.&lt;br /&gt;
