What is detoxing and why is it important to me?

Today's topic is about detoxing and why it's important to you.

What is detoxing?
Detoxing takes many forms, the main purpose is to pull out toxins and impurities that don't belong or naturally occur in our bodies.  What toxins or impurities?  Preservatives that are in everything now from your food to your shampoo.  Environmental toxins that are in the air that we can't avoid from factories, farming chemicals, exhaust from vehicles, etc.  Prescription and over the counter medications which for the most part are purely chemicals.  Chemicals are not good for your body or your health.  While the medications may help your health condition the chemicals are hurting you at the same time.

Over time these various toxins continue building up in our bodies.  They don't have a way to leave the body on their own, instead they leach on to our bodies.  They make us sick, tired, cause aging.

How can I remove these toxins from my body by detoxing.  As I stated there are many forms of detoxification, today we are only going to discuss a few.

Ion Detox Foot Bath
A good Ion Detox Foot Bath is made by Optimum.  This process sets up a type of osmosis condition, which drains out toxins within your body.  When you first place your feet in the water, the water is clear.  By the end of the bath, the water has changed in color due to the cellular waste and impurities.  Impurities are pulled from the body, improving the body's natural resilience.  The cells show marked improvement after just one bath, are more hydrated, cells are working more efficiently and the meridians are balanced and energized.  With regular foot baths you can achieve cellular cleansing, anti-aging, boosted immune system, clearer skin complexion, activates the body's natural elimination system (including lymph nodes), joint/pain relief, weight loss, increased circulation, reduced stress and fatigue, reduced swelling/inflammation, improved joint stiffness, and more.
For this type of detoxification it's recommended that you have a 35 minute treatment two - three times a week until you have completed 14 sessions, this is considered a deep cleanse.  Can anyone use this treatment?  If you have a pacemaker you are not able to receive an Ion Detox Foot Bath.  Infants cannot receive this treatment.  Toddlers and children may receive a variated form of this treatment.  For more information contact Sarah Reynolds Spa.

Body Wraps
Another good method of detoxification is with body wraps.  Some body wraps such as our Seaweed and French Green Clay Wrap is great for detoxification.  French Green Clay and selected marine clays are infused with amino acids, Vitamin E, several extracts and Kelp are massaged into the skin, resulting in skin cell stimulation and detoxification.  If you are allergic to seaweed, iodine, or shellfish this wrap should be avoided.
Our Bioslmming wrap is also good for detoxification.  Along with detoxifying it fights cellulite, fat deposits, and stretch marks.
A series of wraps is recommended for the most benefit.  If you are claustrophobic you may not want to choose a wrap for detoxification.

Internal detoxification
You can also detox internally through the use of foods and supplements.  Juicing diets are great.  If you don't have time to juice, then I highly recommend Living Fuel.  Living Fuel is a powdered nutritional drink that is great for detoxification and balancing the body.  You just make a shake or smoothie with this powder and drink it in place of one meal a day.  I like to use it for breakfast.  For information on where to get Living Fuel contact Sarah Reynolds Spa.
Essential oils are also good for detoxing.  Lemon essential oil is especially good for this and easy to use.  Contact Sarah Reynolds Spa for more information on essential oils and where to get them.  Do not take any essential oils internally without discussing it with Sarah or an Aromatherapist.
Also good for starting a detoxification internally is to start with a Coffee enema.

Lymph Drainage
Manual Lymph Drainage is great to go along with any detox program.  The lymphatic system is what fights of disease, so it needs to be kept healthy and cleansed.  Manual Lymphatic Drainage Massage should only be performed by a licensed professional.  Contact Sarah to schedule a Lymph Drainage Massage.

Reflexology
Reflexology is great any time to help promote optimal organ and nerve function, increase lymph flow and blood circulation.  Reflexology should only be performed by a licensed professional.

There are so many more ways to detox your body, we just don't have time to discuss them all.  All of the above methods discussed are available at Sarah Reynolds Spa.  Sarah is licensed and has training in all of these services.  To determine which method may be appropriate for you, schedule a consultation with Sarah Reynolds Spa.

Never start a detoxification program without first speaking to a healthcare professional.

Have a great and healthy day!
