Detox

Detox

Detox or detoxification signifies the removal of “toxins” from the body. The word has the primary connotation of treatment to counteract withdrawal symptoms from alcohol or drug abuse. Whereas conventional medicine has restricted itself largely to the treatment of these recognized poisons, detox has become a buzzword in complementary medical circles and extends much further.

Indeed, our lives are permeated, even pre-natally, by an extraordinary multitude of potentially toxic substances, many of which are present in small amounts which individually might seem harmless. However, if experienced cumulatively over time, combined with life style factors including inappropriate diet, dental amalgams, lack of exercise or oxygenation, poor bowel function, obesity, toxins can all contribute to large scale symptoms of ill-health.
