Regular detoxing helps strengthen immune system functioning and fights off infection. Toxins affect the body's natural ability to burn fat, leading to weight gain. ... Detoxing rids the body of toxins stored in fat cells and increases metabolism.
When we get an unhealthy buildup of toxins in our body, it’s not pretty. These excess toxins will cause physical and mental health issues like chronic fatigue, headaches, insomnia and diseases. Many of these toxins come from things you use or consume everyday like food, water, beauty and personal care products and the environment. If you’re wondering why it’s so important to cleanse and detox your body, take a look below.
You’ll see that there are many harsh pollutants and harmful pesticides in our environment that should not stay in your body. Since our body organs work together to help eliminate these trapped toxins, it’s important that they’re all healthy and in working order. The liver, kidneys, colon, lungs, skin and lymphatic system are especially useful and important when it comes to cleansing the body.
Are you thinking about trying to detox but are unsure exactly what the benefits may be? When done correctly, that is to say, in a healthy, safe and controlled environment, getting your body clean and healthy can result in a wide range of positive effects.
Still not convinced? Under the right circumstances, detoxing can help you...
1. Remove toxins from the body.
Long-term exposure to toxins (environmental pollutants, cancer-causing chemicals, preservatives, pesticides, heavy metals, and industrial waste) affects our metabolism, behaviour, immune system, and leads to disease. They are stored in tissues and cells throughout the body, including the brain, often for years – yikes!
2. Prevent chronic disease.
Environmental toxins are responsible for many cancers, neurological diseases, heart disease, strokes... you name it. Our bodies do have a built-in detox function to deal with these dangers, but those systems are constantly overloaded! Detoxing assists and improves what our bodies are trying to do naturally.
3. Enhance immune system function.
A compromised immune system makes us vulnerable to colds and flus, affecting our quality of life and productivity. Regular detoxing helps strengthen immune system functioning and fights off infection.
4. Lose weight.
Toxins affect the body's natural ability to burn fat, leading to weight gain. Diabetes, heart disease, and high blood pressure are directly linked to weight issues. Detoxing rids the body of toxins stored in fat cells and increases metabolism.
5. Slow premature aging.
Detoxing rids the body of free radicals and heavy metals partially responsible for aging. Detoxing helps to increase nutrient absorption, including antioxidants and vitamins that help fight oxidative stress.
6. Improve quality of life.
Simply put, our bodies don't function very well when they're loaded with toxins. We may have joint pain, headaches, digestive disorders, sleep problems, and lack of energy. Depression may be eased and memory may be improved as a result of detoxification!
7. Increase energy.
You will have more mental, physical, and emotional energy after detoxing. People tend to sleep better and need less of it.
8. Improve skin quality.
Diet and environmental toxins undeniably affect skin. Detoxing improves acne, and strengthens hair and nails, and gives us a natural, healthy glow.
9. Mental and emotional clarity.
When the body's systems are aligned, a shift also occurs with our mental and emotional states. We can deal with more when we're clear and grounded. We can make better decisions, analyze accurately, and see things differently.
10. Restore balance to our body's systems.
Our digestive, nervous, and hormonal systems were designed to work together to achieve optimum health. This is what our bodies want to do! When we overload them with toxins and unhealthy foods, these systems don't work as well as they should and we get sick.
Detoxing brings balance back and helps our systems function properly again.
How Essential Oils Work with the Detoxification Organs System
Essential oils have unique properties that support health on a cellular level, including detoxing. When the body is overwhelmed by excess toxins, the liver will safeguard vital organs by insulating toxins in fat cells; there are oils that help release toxins from fat cells, break them down, and flush them out of the body with good hydration. Other oils stimulate cell receptor sites to greater, more efficient activity. And there are oils that are helpful in clearing the gut of harmful bacteria and restoring balance for healthy digestion and immunity. Consider what actions can reduce the intake of toxins, and how to consistently detox to maintain optimal health.
In Germany, Dr. Helmut Schimmel, MD, DDS, postulated that certain medicinal products acted at different levels in the intracellular or the extracellular space. The return to health must involve therapies that address both of these areas.
Many commonly used therapies in Natural medicine are helpful for detoxification of the extracellular space, but less capable of addressing the intracellular space where the energetic imbalance (illness) originated. Drainage is a therapy that exceeds the common notion of Detoxification.
Detoxification
Extracellular:
mechanical - fasting, colonics, manipulation, hydrotherapy
physical therapy - structural integration, QXCI, ionic foot detox, infra red sauna, lymphatic drainage massage, reflexology, essential oils, neti pots
biochemical - botanical medicines, enzymes, vitamins, minerals, chelation
Drainage
Intracellular:
biochemical - gemmotherapy, oligotherapy, tissue salts, organotherapy
energetic - homeopathy: single remedies, nosodes, UNDA numbers, flower essences, acupuncture, laying of hands polarity therapy, therapeutic touch
Long-term exposure to toxins (environmental pollutants, cancer-causing chemicals, preservatives, pesticides, heavy metals, and industrial waste) affects our metabolism, behaviour, immune system and will lead to disease. Toxins are stored in tissues and cells thought the body, through all of your organs including the brain, often for years - Yikes!
We live in an industrialized world and are exposed to a variety of harmful chemicals in the air, our food and drinks, the surfaces we touch and the products that we use. Its no longer a question of "if we are toxic", but a question of "how toxic"
