What does "detox" mean to you? 

For many it conjures up association with ascetic deprivation and discomforts...

It doesn't have to be!  It can be easily incorporated into our life as part of our self care practice...It can be enjoyable and it is an opportunity to nourish ourselves. 

In fact, detoxification is a process our body performs every moment to survive and maintain balance.

Our modern stressful lifestyle and modern diet weakens our body's innate ability to eliminate toxins from the environment as well as from our own metabolism. 

The polluted environment we live in greatly stresses our body's ability to keep our "house" clean.  Our body simply was not designed for the thousands of post-industrial age toxins bombarding us everyday.  Click here to read about The Top 12 Toxins and What They Might Do To Us.

A lot of common conditions we live with and have accepted as part of "life" or part of aging could very well be related with toxic overload, e.g.

• fatigue
• dull looking skin
• poor memory and concentration
• irritabilty
• overweight and stubborn weight (difficulty in losing weight)
• muscle soreness and stiff joints
• PMS
• allergies
• difficulty to conceive
• compromised digestion (gas, bloatedness)
• constipation - having one or less bowel movements a day

Toxicity also affects fertility, pollutes the blood of a future mother or potentially her breast milk, which means the baby is exposed to dangerous level of toxins before it's even born.  (Due to the proportion of the baby's small size and their developing organs, toxins affect them more serioulsy and may leave permanent damage, especially to the development of the brain and nervous function.)
