Detox The Body For Better Health and Spiritual Connection

Detox Part 1

So, in a previous post I mentioned how I had used a DIY Detox Bath I found on Natural News to help detox my body. I wanted to go over the basics of what Detoxing is and how to use it too help detox your body from the outside and inside.

Environmental toxins

Your skin is the largest organ on your body. It covers 100% of you and is basically your shield between you and the rest of the world. That being said it is also permeable and does allow for toxins to be transported into your body as well. These can include chemicals in health and beauty products, chemicals in municipal water sources (basically your tap water) and a myriad of other things that come in contact with your skin.

This combined with things like drugs, GMO's, food additives, air pollution etc, they have a cumulitive effect on your body. Primarily, your main source of filtering these toxins out of the body and passing them along is the liver. This wonderful organ does such a great job that unless we really abuse it, it tends to hold up rather well under this onslaught and keeps us upright for the most part. But again, these toxins are accumulitive, basically over time they can begin to overwhelm the body and the liver begins to fall behind. Once toxiciity becomes rampant, sickness begins to creep in.

Now let me make this absolutely clear, if you are experiencing anything other than PERFECT ABUNDANT HEALTH, your more than likely suffering from some sort of toxic overload. Time to detox.

Paths to Detox

Now, there are several ways to detox, but for this first post I'm just going to cover the basic modalities of how to detox the body.

Internal
The liver is a great organ, when it's doing it's job normally and there aren't an overabundance of toxins coming in, it can usually deal with the load and help cleanse the system. There are things you can do however to help it along. A good internal cleanse will help support the liver in it's function.

The other large organ that needs a decent detox or cleanse is the gastric system, comprised of your stomach, small and large intestine. Deposits of sticky leftover food can adhere to the intestinal wall, otherwise known as adhesion. These block nutrition from being properly absorbed as well as store toxins in the body and even give bad bacteria and fungus a place to grow, such as Candida. Cleaning this out will help with intestinal issues, and overall health.

External 
As we said, the skin is the largest organ in the body. It has the largest surface area of almost any organ and it is totally accessible. The method of detoxing using the skin is probably the most powerful as it will allow you to detox the entire body quickly and easily. Using this while supporting the internal methods of detox will ensure your detox is the most effective it can be.
