Archive for the ‘Types of Detox’ Category

The latest trend in the health industry is the process of getting a ‘detox procedure’. A lot of people are going to therapy centers and subjecting themselves to such procedures to make sure that they are able to purify their body and get rid of the ‘toxins’ that have accumulated in the body.

Most of us have heard a lot about the various ‘detox procedures’ available. There are full ‘body detox’ procedures along with partial ‘body detox’ procedures. However, there is one method that many of us are not familiar with. Foot detox therapy is one such method which is extremely helpful in making sure that you are able to maintain a harmony between the different elements in your body.

Our body is subject to a lot of wear and tear during the lifetime, in the form of fatty foods, stress at the work place etc. The intake of oily foods and cholesterol laden snacks clogs up the pores of the skin and the arteries. It is very essential to flush out such things from the body to make sure that you live a healthy life. Foot detox procedure comes in handy in an easy and effort less removal of such ‘toxins’ from the body. Such procedures are affected in the form of ‘patches’ which are attached or affixed to the base of the foot during the night and removed during the day.

The use of such ‘trans-dermal patches’ or cleansing tools in foot detox therapies ensure a hassle free treatment of the individual. A lot of manufacturers produce such patches which have gained widespread popularity in the health arena.

There are certain things that have to be kept in mind though. Before resorting to the use of such ‘patches’ on your feet, make sure they are clean. Wash your feet with soap water and scrub them to open the pores which might have got clogged due to dirt and dust. Further, abstain from applying any lotion or cream prior to the application of foot detox ‘patches’. This will form an impenetrable barrier between the ‘patch’ and the skin of the foot and hamper with the process of cleansing.

A disadvantage of the method is that the sweat coming out from the feet saturates the ‘patch’, preventing the further accumulation of toxins in it. The person has to change the ‘patch’ all over again to make sure the therapy is not affected.

The process of ‘detoxification’ is primarily aimed at cleansing your body of the unwanted ‘toxic’ elements which make you vulnerable to a number of disorders and ailments. Such therapies are aimed at flushing out the unwanted components from one’s body to provide for a healthy individual. Body detox has become the latest ‘in- thing’ in the fitness circuit. A lot of people are subjecting to such sessions in order to get rejuvenated. Such sessions relax you and let you achieve a state of mental peace.

Body detox is not a very difficult concept. It has simple principles, just by adhering to which a person can get rid of his or her problem. But it is very important to do the exact things prescribed. Other wise the effects may not be observed. There are different therapies available and most of them are in the form of certain ‘diet’ plans that need to be followed to make sure that you get rid of all the waste matter in your body. The plans include a number of things like green vegetables, fruit juices, yoga sessions etc.

The process of getting rid of waste and setting your body free from ‘toxins’ can be achieved in a number of ways. You can either chose to clean out your intestinal system, by way of which, your digestion will improve ten folds. Further, it will also allow you to lose some weight as the absence of adhered waste substances and unwanted fat will allow your body to work efficiently to utilize nutrients and eliminate other stuff.  Similar to an ‘intestinal’ detox, there are other kinds of therapies included in body detox like:

•    ‘Detoxification of the Kidney’
•    ‘Detoxification of the Liver’

Further, one can even opt for a full or half body detox therapy. The entire procedure in both the cases normally involves going on a diet to purify the blood as mentioned above, along with being subjected to a ‘skin’ therapy to further purge the body of ‘toxins’. In this the person is asked to lie on a table and his entire body is covered in ‘clay’. This helps in absorbing the harmful substances from within the body.
