Detox… is it for me?

Feeling sluggish? Need to get the energy moving, clean out those clogged up vessels and get the immune system back on track?

Detoxification can help you to regain optimal health and wellbeing, prevent diseases and rid the body of accumulated toxins and harmful chemicals, whether they be enterotoxins (internal i.e. food and beverages) or exotoxins (external i.e. environmental toxins).

If you answer yes to any of the following, a detox could be beneficial for you.

Do you:

• Suffer from stress?
• Eat pre-packaged foods?
• Eat takeaway foods?
• Use artificial sweeteners?
• Drink coffee?
• Have excess sugar?
• Smoke or drink alcohol?
• Work or live in an environment where chemicals are used?
• Use household cleansers?
• Use a microwave?
• Use plastic containers to store food?
• Use cosmetics or personal body items which contain chemicals, preservatives or parabens?

Detoxifying assists our organs to work more effectively and has anti-ageing benefits and promotes longevity.

The most appropriate cleanse is selected by the naturopath based upon unique conditions and a thorough medical history. It may be recommended that you follow a healthy eating plan with meals designed specifically for your condition, or go on a juice or water fast. After completing a detox, it is common for people to feel invigorated and revitalised mentally and physically.
