All about Detox
Detox is a systematic and efficient approach to support your body to remove toxins stored in its cells and tissues and restore itself. This process occurs naturally in the body.

Detox at spa is the latest rage but it has been practiced for centuries now. The Chinese medicine and Indian ayurveda talk about it too.
Why detox?
Most of the autopsies show that colons are stuffed up with around 80 percent of waste. So, death begins in the colondefine. In today’s obnoxious environment, body gets overloaded with cumulative toxin exposure. Unhealthy lifestyle to save time and efforts is a big reason. Erratic eating habits, processed foods, long hours at work, alcohol, smoking, drugs, pollution, stress take a definite toll on the body resulting in poor digestion, irritable bowel syndrome, stress, obesity, menstrual problems, premature ageing, etc. Toxins keep depositing and then there is a stage when body’s immune system is arrested and alarm is sounded.
How do detox programs work?
Detoxification essentially implies cleaning the blood by eliminating blood impurities in the liver, kidneys, intestines, lungs, lymph and skin. When impurities are not removed appropriately, every cell in the body has an adverse affect. Detoxification tackles the individual cell problems and hence, is very efficient. A detox program helps the natural cleaning process by:
1) Making the organs rest through fasting;
2) Stimulating the liver to remove deadly toxins;
3) Stimulating intestines, kidneys and skin for toxin removal;
4) Improving blood circulation and oxygenation;
5) Replenishing the body with healthy nutrients.
