Natural Ways For Detoxification In An Increasingly Toxic World

1)Learn To Use Clay
Throughout history, healing clays have been used to alleviate poor digestion, remove toxins from the skin, and promote circulation. Clays have also been used as bandages to heal skin and treat blemishes. Bentonite clay is derived from volcanic ash or silicate glass. The clay particles are often quite small, less than 2.0 μm (micrometers) in diameter. When combined with water, the clay forms a mud which can then be applied as a mask or Band-Aid. From a molecular standpoint, bentonite clay is a fine mineral that is negatively charged (high cation exchange capacity). These tiny negatively charged molecules attract and hold positively charged particles. The clay acts as a sponge in the body, by expanding and quickly binding to positively charged toxins. The body is then able to excrete this material, in some cases, even before it enters the bloodstream.
By binding to toxins, which are then quickly removed from the body, calcium bentonite clay alleviates this burden from the liver and kidneys. This makes bentonite clay a great option for detoxing from heavy metals and radiation.
The uses and benefits don’t stop there. When used directly on the skin or in a bath, the clay draws toxins out through the skin. When taken internally, clays have an antimicrobial effect, removing from the body. They also balance the body’s pH.
2)Brush the Toxins Away
The skin may be the most overlooked organ when it comes to detoxification. Dry skin brushing is an Ayurvedic practice that involves a specially designed brush. When the brush is used in gentle, circular motions away from the body it stimulates the lymph system, removes dry skin cells, reduces cellulite, and releases toxins and impurities into the bloodstream where they can be removed by the liver and kidneys. Dry skin brushing is relaxing and can make you feel calm just like any other spa treatment. This method may not be good for those with sensitive skin, eczema, or psoriasis.
3)Stay Hydrated
Clean water is essential! Staying hydrated serves many purposes: flushing out toxins, aiding digestion, alleviating headaches and fatigue. Drinking more water (up to a gallon or 3.8 liters a day) will help break down fat and toxins and improve weight loss. When you replace sugary drinks with water this causes an increase in fat oxidation (the body’s tendency to burn fat for fuel) leading to weight loss. You will feel full and consume fewer calories, which naturally leads to weight loss. Decades of studies prove that fat oxidation increases after drinking water. Staying hydrated throughout the day results in the continuous flushing of toxins through the bloodstream which are carried to the liver and kidneys and then removed from the body.
When you are properly hydrated, you will feel better and be able to move more easily. Water balances your pH, which boosts immunity. When your organs are properly hydrated and functioning optimally you aid the natural detoxification process. The kidneys work better and don’t have to work as hard. Aim to drink at least 36 oz. (1.5 liters) per day.
