Stepping into a new millennium, we have progressed in everything, even diseases are also in rise. Today, the average Americans suffer from multiple physical and mental disorders, thanks to a fast paced, highly demanding professional and social life.
However the holistic health consultants have something unique up their sleeve and that involves cleansing of your inside to stay away from the serious diseases. Just look around and you will come to find a number of detox programs making round everywhere.
Don’t just jump at the next detox program that lures you with its attractive promises. In order to take an informed decision, you have to know about the different types of detox program. The guide below helps you to take a glimpse on the several types of detox plans, that might employ variety of methods, but similar in their goals which is to free your body from the harmful toxins.
Water Fasting
Water fasting may be the most extreme form of cleansing. It uses up maximum amount of calories to carry out the detox functions and therefore considered to be the most intense.
Master cleanse diet
Master cleanse typically includes, lemon, honey, meple syrup and cetain herbs. This is less intense than the water fasting as the ingredients in it supply nutrients that complement the detoxification process and cleansing takes place at a more comfortable level.
Juice Fasting
Juice fasting is considered to be the most popular way of detoxification. Most nutritionists consider it to be the best tool of cleansing, because the juice supplies adequate amount of nutrients while detoxing. This helps to maintain the balance of enzymes and calories in the body and therefore detox takes place at reduced intensity. Thus juice fast is regarded to be the most comfortable way of detoxing.
Raw Food Diet
The raw food detox diet involving organic fruits and vegetables will give you more or less same detox effects as the juice fast. Only in the case of raw food diet, the cleansing process continues for a longer stretch of time. In this diet, nuts, raw fishes, and baked organic chickens act as good source of protein.
However, consumption of dairy products, cooked starches or calorie rich foods are strictly banned from the raw food diet. Indulgence in these types of foods considerably slows down the detoxification process.
Vegetarian diet
An adherence to vegan diet is believed to be the key to a toxin free body for life. A typical vegan diet consists of fresh fruits, vegetables, whole grains, cereals, nuts and herbs. Some vegan diets include dairy products and eggs in their food list.
Detoxification Aids
To complement your detox process, drink fresh juice at least once a day. Boost up your body’s detox mechanism through multi-vitamin supplements. Also add antioxidants such as vitamins E and Q10, to your detox program.

“Cast Thyself Into The Enfolding Arms Of The Angel Of Water For She Shall Cast Out From Thee All That Is Unclean And Evil.” – The Dead Sea Scrolls- 3rd century BCE to 640 AD.
It constitutes an intrinsic part of our daily life and we couldn’t survive without it. Amongst its countless benefits to our health and our planet, WATER is the ultimate natural detox tool.
The recent Detox Craze has reached phenomenal proportions, with manufacturers frantically marketing products that promise instant cleansing and purification, in an attempt to fulfil -and obviously profit from- such an overwhelming market demand.
By highly publicizing their successful detox experiences, stars like Beyonce -amongst others- have contributed in making detox ‘hip’ and ‘trendy’. This and other factors have made detox the health buzzword of the 21st century. It is now considered a necessary factor in the quest for optimal health, weight loss and well being.
Unfortunately, such proliferation, variety and availability of detox aids makes identifying the ideal personal detox program a daunting task.
Many cases and articles of ‘detox gone wrong’ are published on the web, reminding the gullible and the unseasoned of the dangers of extreme detox, which clearly could be health-hazardous.
The quest for the ideal detox tool or program is on, with a mind-boggling array of products to choose from: Detox supplements, colon cleansing aids, detox foot baths and detox patches. The list is endless!
In our frantic search for the ultimate detox, we’ve overlooked the ideal and most obvious detox aid. A free, natural resource we’re in physical contact with every single day of our life: Water.
NOTHING supports the body’s cleansing and elimination capacity like Water; the most ancient and potent natural detox aid ever known to mankind. Whether by drinking it, sweating or bathing in it, water has been used to expel toxins, and restore health since the dawn of humanity.
Drink Plenty of Water
We’re all familiar with the dangers of, even minor, dehydration by now.
If the body is not sufficiently hydrated, the cells will draw water from the bloodstream, thus pressurizing and burdening the heart. Even mild dehydration prevents the kidneys from effectively purifying the blood.
When this happens, some of the kidney’s workload is passed on to the liver and other organs, and may cause them to be severely stressed. Minor health conditions such as constipation, dry and itchy skin, acne, nosebleeds, urinary tract infections, coughs, sneezing, sinus problems and headache may develop as a consequence.
It is no secret that drinking 2 litres of water a day can dramatically improve your health, and the signs will be obvious: Glowing complexion and clear skin, better immunity, better digestion, less aches and pains, weight loss, less cellulite, better concentration and renewed vitality and energy.
Most detox regimes recommend flooding the body with purified or filtered water, rather than the bottled kind. Infusing the body with water will immediately stimulate your kidneys, liver and digestive system’s (primary detox organs) functions. It will boost your metabolism, which in turn accelerates toxin and fat elimination.
Water fasts are highly praised for cleansing, and are regularly practised by keen detox advocates. However, fasting is not to be taken lightly, and any fast longer than 48 hours should be medically supervised.
Steam and Sweat Baths
There is a valid reason why humans have used sweat baths for hygienic and health purposes since the Stone Age. It is because sweating has proven its effectiveness in flushing out toxins and disease, and maintaining optimal health.
The skin is the largest organ in the body and, through the pores it plays a major role in the detoxifying process alongside the lungs, kidneys, bowels, liver, and the lymphatic and immune systems. The skin produces cool sweat to regulate the body’s elevated temperature. It also has the ability to transform toxins from lipid-soluble or oil-based, into easier to eliminate, water-soluble form. Sweat carries toxins out of the body and flushes them through the pores.
Most cultures around the world have their own versions of the sweat bath, whether it’s the ancient Romans and their “Thermae” or the traditional Japanese “Onsen”. The Russian “Banya”, or the native American Indians’ “Inipi”, without omitting the notorious Turkish bath or “Hamam”. However, the Finnish Sauna, remains the most prominent and popular one of all.
Regardless of what it’s called, the sweat bath’s health benefits are infinite, with the primary one being its waste and toxins elimination action through the pores. Other sweat bath benefits include improved circulation, weight and fat loss, skin cleansing and body and mind relaxation.
Detox Bath
An equally powerful water detox method is the Detox Bath.
Based on an ancestral detox technique created by Louis Kuhne of Leipzig in 1883, (who used it to treat his own cancer and heal thousands of often-serious diseases), the Detox Bath uses ONLY water and can take as little as 10 minutes a day.
The Detox Bath’s working principle is to refresh the core area of the body (around the groin and genitals) during 10 minutes daily or longer, depending on your initial condition, and the results you seek to achieve. This process creates a vibration in the fascia (Interconnecting tissue covering all internal organs), which sets in motion a roll-back effect that transports digestion’s leftover fats and deposited toxins back to the intestines, where they are later eliminated.
Why Is The Detox Bath So Powerful?
Besides its toxin and fat elimination action, the Detox Bath’s potency resides in the fact that:
1- It works on the groin area, one of the highest nerve-concentration areas in the body, hence its positive effect on mood, sleep and energy.
2- The groin houses main arteries, so the bath greatly improves blood circulation and digestion.
3- It stimulates the root chakra, which governs sexual energy and reproductive organs. It helps regulate the menstrual cycle, and has been used by Louis Kuhne to treat impotence. It is also beneficial for low libido and menopausal symptoms.
Practiced regularly, the Detox Bath, (based on Louis Kuhne’s friction sitz bath) supports the body’s elimination capacity, effectively ridding it of toxins and fat. It boosts metabolism and digestion; improves sleep, energy and mood, and promotes clear skin and radiant complexion.
Conclusion
Detox is not -and never will be- an instant, magical fix. Detox is an ongoing process, which provides tremendous health benefits, that you can enjoy starting today, by simply using water.
A regular practice of a combination of the 3 -almost free- and completely safe water detox methods above is the only detox regime you’ll ever need to effectively eliminate toxins and fat, and enjoy a lifetime of radiant health.

Consider going for detox massage that is not only relaxing but also aids your body in the removal of toxic waste. A detox massage can be of great support to any cleansing program you are in. It can address health conditions including fatigue, headaches, fibromyalgia, and other system dysfunctions that result from the presence of toxins in your body.
A detox massage is helpful because of the rhythmic strokes that your therapist apply to stimulate your body. Your therapist uses a combination of massage movements including irregular and altering applications of pressure that gently compress and stretch your muscle tissues.
There are a number of different massage therapies that also promotes detoxification. One example of a detox massage is the lymphatic massage. The lymphatic system is one of the main elimination systems of the body that is integral in the detoxification process. It is responsible for the absorption of food nutrients and also creates a waste disposal system in your body. Your therapist uses strokes that that help your lymphatic system to clear dietary toxins and other unwanted substances. Your massage therapist can help remove blockages in your blood circulatory system. The toxic waste are actually by-products of stress, dead cells, heavy metals and other excess debris.
A detox massage can also enhance your immune system, strengthen the muscles and toughen your connective tissue. If your muscles are relaxed, then your body is likely to detoxify and cleanse much better. An analogy can be drawn here. Just imagine if you are constipated and your muscles are tense. Did you not have a hard time trying to remove your bowels? When you are less stressed, your organs including your digestive system and gastrointestinal tract, are likely to perform at optimal levels. Under the skilful hands of your therapist, you can end up feeling so relaxed that you may even fall asleep during the session.
A Swedish massage can be likened to a detox massage. It normalizes oxygen levels and improves the function of your colon drainage as well as other organs involved in the detoxification process. Traditional Chinese massages are also excellent for body cleansing. The strokes may differ slightly but the aim of a session is the same.
The next time you step into a health spa, be sure to ask for a massage that helps detoxify and cleanse your body. You may also want to consider signing up for a few sessions so as to reap maximum benefits from this form of healing.

The build up of the toxin levels in the system may cause many diseases including degenerative diseases the main ones being accelerated aging of a person with high levels of toxins. Toxins may bring out any emotional trauma that has been suppressed for many years causing complications and ill health. Some of the symptoms of toxification are indigestion, nausea and liver disease. If you are aware of any of these symptoms you should be on the look out for changes in your behavior as well. A high level of toxins in the body will lead to mood swings and depression in extreme cases. If you ignore these symptoms you will be inviting nothing but trouble.
Though it is impossible to prevent exposure to toxins in today’s day and age it is important to learn how to control the toxification of the system. This will help us to lead a healthier life style.
