Detox Cleanse Products
If we were living in a 100% organic, toxin and pesticide free environment, detoxification would take place naturally through the work of our elimination organs (liver, kidney, gall bladder, and intestines). However, our world is filled with toxins in the air we breathe, the food we eat, and the water we drink. These toxins build up in our systems and overwhelm the natural defenses of our body, leaving us feeling tired, irritable and leaving us open to attacks on our immune system.
Holistic practitioners know that lethargy
can be due to toxic build up in our
systems, and recommend detoxification
processes to cleanse and refresh the
body, restoring vitality and youthfulness.
Detox products also build immunity
and improve bowel function, at the
same time regenerating your compromised
internal detoxification systems, allowing
them to function better. The following
are a partial list of detoxification
products available. They come in many
forms: powders, liquids, pills.
Acai Cleanse
Acai Berry extract, as featured
by the Oprah Winfrey show, has powerful
cleansing as well as antioxidant properties.
In addition, it contains essential
fatty acids, vitamins, minerals, fiber
and can help regulate cholesterol
and triglyceride levels. Many people
who have taken Acai Berry also report
that they lose unwanted pounds and
have a higher energy level and are
better able to fight off disease.
Detox Teas Cleanse
Detox tea is based on ayurvedic principles and uses medicinal herbs. Green tea, a well known antioxidant, was featured in the 2007 issue of the Journal of the American Association for Cancer Research. In this study, green tea was found to strengthen the defense against cancer-causing toxins. It works by strengthening the production of cleansing enzymes that convert carcinogenic compounds to inert non-toxic substances.
Detox Kit
These types of products are available
to people who want their bodies to
be completely cleared from all toxins,
and are also economical. Detox kits
generally take several days to complete,
and affect toxins that show up in
urine, saliva and hair. Often, they
also come with a test kit that you
can perform on yourself to show that
indeed, your body has eliminated all
the toxins. These can be useful for
people undergoing drug testing in
the marketplace, when you are not
sure what is going to show up in your
screening.
Liver Detox
The liver is an all important organ: it makes bile which is required for digestion and filters toxins out of our blood. It also is involved in synthesis of blood clotting factors and stores vitamins. Everything in the body passes through the liver, and it is important you take care of it! There are several key nutraceuticals involved in liver detoxification. Antioxidants are important to prevent further damage, milk thistle, beta carotene, N-acetyl-cysteine, vitamin C and selenium are all helpful. SAM-E is a known liver protectant.
There are several reputable companies that make ready-to-consume liver detoxification products, some of which are offered on this site.
