Home Remedies for Detoxication
- Many herbs are recognized as having detoxification properties and are used in herbal tea mixes. The most popular include dandelions, licorice root and milk thistle.
- Substituting every meal with fresh fruit and vegetable juices while fasting is a clean and safe detoxification process with little or no side effects. Live fruit and vegetable drinks can cleanse the body of everything from infections to drugs and alcohol.
- One fruit often used by itself during a detoxification fast is grapes. They are filling and come in a variety of flavors while providing potassium.
- Asparagus is especially good for the liver and cleansing the bowels because of its diuretic properties.
- Many massage therapists recommend lymphatic massage to move the toxins through the body during a detoxification process.
- All the systems, including the blood, nerves, muscles, bones and tissues can benefit from a flushing with water. Used on a daily basis, water can restore the body's natural balance and decrease the need for fasting.
