Many people label detoxing and herbal cleansing as something celebrities do or that only health nuts practice. If you’re struggling to find energy or are constantly dealing with health issues, a detox may be the best way to reset your health.
Why Do a Detox?
A herbal detox or cleanse is a way to encourage your body to eliminate toxins, stressors and other harmful substances while also giving it a chance to repair and heal. Combining this with the removal of harmful trigger foods, such as caffeine and alcohol, can be beneficial.
Some critics of detoxes claim that they are not necessary and that the body’s own detoxification and cleansing systems, including our liver, kidneys, and lymphatic system, can do this. True. True. But we are constantly bombarded by thousands of chemicals, toxins and pollutants that were not present 100 years ago in our air, water and food.
