Understanding the Detoxification Process
What is Detoxification?
Detoxification is the removal of toxins through the organs of elimination, including the liver, lungs, colon, skin and lymphatics.
Different Levels of Toxicity
For chronically ill patients, it may require longer term detoxification to improve overall health. However, for most people, a couple short cleanses each year can yield a huge benefit to their health.
Testing for Levels of Toxicity
Specific toxin testing is available for chemicals, pesticides and heavy metals. If you would like professional guidance, we are here to help.
Whole Family Healthcare Recommends:
We often recommend a season detox in the spring and fall, and also recommend a clean out after the holiday season to jump-start the new year.
What Are The Benefits of Detoxing?
Benefits vary by individual, but may include increased energy, mental clarity, immunity, hormone balance and improved digestion.
What happens to your body when you detox?
By doing a detox, you give your liver the space it needs to start processing toxins again. Once processed, the toxins are released into the lymphatic system, kidneys and blood to be eliminated from the body.
Frequently Asked Questions
Detoxification FAQs
What is Detoxification?
Detoxification or cleansing is the process of eliminating toxins from our bodies. We are constantly bombarded with toxins from our environment, food and water sources, and metabolic processes. If there is an accumulation of toxins in our bodies they can create disease or at the very least symptoms such as headaches, muscular aches and pains, and fatigue.
Toxicity associated with the immune system may be a factor in the development of asthma, allergies, skin disorders, chronic infections, and cancer. Toxicity associated with the nervous system may affect cognition, mood, and overall mental functioning. Toxicity in the endocrine system can affect reproduction, menstruation, libido, metabolic rate, stress tolerance, and glucose regulation. If they body is able to eliminate these toxins in an efficient manner than there is not a buildup of toxins and a healthy body is the result.
