Detoxification Program

If you look at ancient systems of health care, they have ways of detoxifying the body. Ayurvedic medicine is traditional Indian medicine that has been around for thousands of years. The word Ayurveda translates as the science of life and longevity. In Ayurveda regular periods of detoxification are done because its core philosophy is that health is a state in which the body is clear of toxins, the mind is settled, emotions are happy, wastes are consistently eliminated and organs are working efficiently.

Native Americans and other similar cultures around the world have used periodic fasting and sweat lodges to purify body, mind and spirit

Considering the modern times that we live in now, we are constantly exposed to toxins in our air, food, water, soil and household products. Therefore, it’s important that we also practice periodic cleansing or detoxification.

Our detoxification mechanisms and pathways can become overburdened depending on how much toxins we ingest or are exposed to. Toxins become lodged in the bowel, liver, kidneys, lymphatic system and especially fat tissue. The toxic build up prevents the normal uptake and utilization of nutrients, carbohydrates and proteins. It reduces the body’s oxygen uptake and creates an acidic, septic, low-energy state, prone to disease.

Some of these toxins or chemicals are endocrine disruptors and can cause hormonal imbalance, others impact neurotransmitters which can affect your brain and mental state, while other chemicals can affect our immune system and digestive function.

So when all systems are affected and can’t work effectively, imbalance occurs, and our body becomes unable to heal and repair itself naturally.
