How can I spring-clean my
body?
The weather is warming up and it's
time to throw open our windows and roll up our sleeves for
some serious cleaning in our homes and gardens. But we can
also spring-clean our bodies of toxic materials that have
accumulated during the winter months.
There are
ways to know if the body is in need of detoxifying. Signs of
toxic overload include fatigue, illness, constipation, gas,
skin problems, nausea, PMS, depression and poor
circulation.
The main way to rid the body of toxins is
through cleansing or detoxifying. Detoxification involves a
change in diet and health habits to promote body
purification, allowing for the channels of elimination to
get rid of toxic waste. A cleansing diet may help along with
herbal and nutritional support. Your doctor, naturopath or
homeopath can offer suggestions on the best way for you to
cleanse your body.
