Natural
Detoxification
OUR BODY HAS
INFINITE HEALING WISDOM!!
The body has a beautifully designed, built-in, detoxification system. It’s important to provide it with optimal support, so it can give you back optimal results!
Ways you can provide optimal support and encourage natural detoxification:
Water, Water, Water!! Drink at lease half your body weight of pure, filtered, room temperature water. Alkaline if possible. This will support the kidneys and lymphatic function to properly rid the body of the toxins out of your system. Adding lemon supports digestion, by adding the often low HCL (hydrochloric acid or alkaline acid) or try adding a capful of Raw ACV to help with digestive, cardio, and immune support.
Eliminate Alcohol! Alcohol overworks the liver and can damage this critical organ. Its fun while the intoxicating effects last, but the damage lasts a lot longer.
Eliminate Wheat/Gluten, Dairy, Soy and Corn! They are all inflammatory foods and increase gut permeability and allow toxins into the bloodstream, which prevents weight loss.
Eliminate Toxic Oils! Stay away from vegetable oil, seed oils, canola oil and peanut oil. Avoid trans fats or “partially hydrogenated” foods. Instead choose fractionated coconut, MCT (Medium Chain Triglycerides), flaxseed, extra-virgin olive or hemp oil, which contain more beneficial omega fatty acids.
Eliminate Sugar and Artificial Sweeteners! Sugar feeds inflammation, prolonged inflammation can lead to toxic build up in our organs, especially our liver. In order to feel the full benefit of detoxification eliminate sugars and artificial sweeteners and only use real sugar, honey, molasses, stevia, or monk fruit, sparingly, if needed.
FEED it FIBER! Add some high quality, nutrient dense foods to your natural detox diet, including:
Add plenty of alkalizing vegetables like dark leafy greens, beets, and carrots.
Add fresh, organic, non-starchy veggies like asparagus, artichoke and spinach.
Add the rainbow in fresh, organic fruit (offers antioxidants, fiber and water.)
Add tree seeds and nuts, like almonds, Brazil nuts, hazelnuts, pine nuts, pecans and walnuts (they support gut health and liver function)
Include plenty of High Quality Protein! Detoxification starts in the liver. Liver detox pathways require protein. Choosing grass-fed or wild-caught options when possible will benefit your natural detox greatly.
Alkalize through your diet! Alkalizing through your diet increases the effectiveness of any detox. Add some spinach, kale or other deep greens along with ginger, beets, carrots, turmeric and other colorful veggies and roots.
Add Enzymes and Probiotics! Adding additional supportive enzymes will help you digest and absorb your foods more readily. Probiotics, or “friendly bacteria” can do boost your bodies natural detoxification. We can get them naturally through foods like kombucha, coconut kefir, apple cider vinegar, natural coconut/oat yogurt, kimchi and sauerkraut.
CHEW YOUR FOOD THOROUGHLY! Eating quickly can lead to eating more, which often leads bloating and indigestion. Take your time. Chew each bite thoroughly and enjoy your food more. This gives your bodies natural signals of fullness to fully engage, reducing the amount you eat. You’ll find that you eat smaller portions and feel better, and you may even lose weight!
Get that LYMPH MOVING! Lymphatic movement is critical for detoxification. Even mild exercise helps you eliminate toxins. Dry Brushing, cold showers, and lymphatic tapping are all helpful. Work up a sweat and you’ll get that lymph moving, improve circulation and burn fat more effectively. Rebounding, vibration plates, walk, Thai Chi, Qigong, hike, do yoga, just move!
Get Quality Sleep! Adequate rest helps the brain and body detoxify itself. This is the main operating time for the bodies healing mode, Rest & Digest. Sleep helps reduce stress and inflammation, which will help you lower your toxic burden. It is recommended to get at least 7 hours of sleep each night.
Practice Mindfulness! Our state of mind directly affects our stress levels, and stress increases our susceptibility to increased toxic load. Practicing mindfulness has been proven to reduce stress levels and improve the overall quality of life. Click here for more information.

BENEFITS OF
LYMPHATIC DETOXIFICATION
Lymphatic detoxification, also known as lymphatic drainage, offers numerous benefits for overall well-being. The lymphatic system plays a vital role in our body's immune function and waste removal. By promoting lymphatic detoxification, we can support the body's natural detoxification processes and enhance our health.
One of the key benefits of lymphatic detoxification is improved immune function. The lymphatic system helps to remove toxins, waste products, and pathogens from the body, and when it functions optimally, it strengthens our immune response. By stimulating lymphatic flow through techniques like massage or dry brushing, we can enhance the body's ability to fight off infections and maintain a robust immune system.
Lymphatic detoxification also aids in reducing inflammation. When the lymphatic system becomes congested or sluggish, it can lead to the accumulation of toxins and fluid retention, resulting in inflammation. By promoting lymphatic drainage, we can reduce swelling, alleviate discomfort, and support the body's natural healing processes.
In addition, lymphatic detoxification can contribute to improved skin health. The lymphatic system plays a crucial role in maintaining healthy skin by removing toxins and waste products. By enhancing lymphatic flow, we can promote a clearer complexion, reduce the appearance of cellulite, and support the skin's natural rejuvenation process.
In summary, lymphatic detoxification offers a range of benefits, including enhanced immune function, reduced inflammation, and improved skin health. Incorporating lymphatic drainage techniques into a holistic wellness routine can support the body's natural detoxification processes and contribute to overall vitality and well-being.
HOW TO
DRY BRUSH
To dry brush, use a natural fiber brush with a long handle. The long handle will help you reach all areas of your body. Follow these steps:
1) Start with your feet and move up your body.
2) Brush your skin in a circular, clockwise motion.
3) Using light pressure in areas where your skin is thin and harder pressure on thicker skin, like the soles of your feet.
4) Brush your arms after your feet, legs, and torso, and don’t forget your back. You should brush upward towards your armpits.
5) After dry brushing, take a cold shower, as long as you can tolerate to help remove the dry skin and simulate more lymph movement.
6) When you finish your shower dry off and consider using a natural plant oil, like olive or coconut oil, for moisturizing your skin.
Benefits of Dry Brushing
Dry skin brushing is a simple yet effective practice that offers numerous benefits for overall well-being. This holistic technique involves using a natural bristle brush to gently stroke the skin in specific patterns, typically before bathing or showering.
One of the primary advantages of dry skin brushing is its ability to exfoliate the skin. By removing dead skin cells, this practice promotes a smoother and more radiant complexion. Additionally, dry brushing stimulates blood circulation, which can enhance the delivery of oxygen and nutrients to the skin cells, promoting a healthy glow.
Another benefit lies in its potential to support the lymphatic system. The lymphatic system plays a crucial role in removing toxins and waste from the body. Dry brushing helps to stimulate lymphatic flow, aiding in the detoxification process and reducing the risk of lymphatic congestion.
Dry skin brushing can also improve the appearance of cellulite. By increasing blood flow and lymphatic drainage, it may help to break down the accumulation of toxins and fat deposits beneath the skin, leading to a reduction in the appearance of cellulite.
In addition, dry brushing can invigorate the nervous system, providing a natural energy boost and promoting a sense of rejuvenation. It can also help to alleviate stress and promote relaxation.
Incorporating dry skin brushing into your self-care routine can offer a range of benefits, from improved skin health and detoxification to increased energy and relaxation. It is a simple and affordable practice that can contribute to your overall holistic well-being.

The technology ionizes water molecules into positive and negative ions with an electrical current that is safe to deliver through the water as your feet soak in it. These ions draw out pollutants through your foot and attract and neutralize poisons and heavy metals with the opposite charge. By removing the harmful toxins and free radicals causing you to feel unwell, you should feel more at ease and free of the damaging toxins and free radicals that could contribute to stress and dis-ease after spending 30 minutes with your feet in an ionic detox foot bath.
