Eating healthy, perfect bloods, movement incorporated, stress levels ok/manageable but still dealing with chronic symptoms? I see this A WHOLE LOT. And the good news is that people are beginning to take health into their own hands however sometimes it may not be enough.
Why? While making the correct changes can be a great step forward, most of the time it does not address the current toxin/parasitic load in the body. This is where detoxification can come in.
Detoxification refers to the process of removing toxins, waste, and harmful substances from the body to restore balance and improve overall health. It’s believed that, over time, our bodies accumulate toxins from environmental pollution, processed foods, chemicals, and even stress. Detoxification is the body’s natural ability to remove these harmful substances through organs like the liver, kidneys, digestive system, and skin.
Now before jumping into a detox, there are important priming steps required to ensure the detox is successful and that the body can efficiently eliminate what is being moved through the body. One of those steps relate to our elimination organs. It is crucial these are functioning optimally other wise we risk the body's inability to eliminate the toxins.
THE BENEFITS
