Natural_detox
Natural_detox
Toxification of human body occurs both due the external as well as internal sources. Some of the common external sources which build up the toxins in the fatty tissue related to inhalation are smoking, air pollution, dental amalgam fillings, related to ingestion are chemical residues in food, in water, drugs. The internal sources of toxicity are fermentation, purification from undigested food consumed, dehydration, malnutrition toxic thoughts and emotions. With the growth of chemicals in the environment, foods and medicines the ability to get rid of toxins has been greatly altered. The recovery of health and improvement of diet shows unpleasant symptoms. The effect of toxins on health doesn’t occur overnight, it is progressive. Similarly recovery is also progressive; it may take weeks, months or even year. Life is as series of cycle which is associated with production of energy, its storage and its discharge. This is a general cycle defining all organisms that are alive. The daily pattern of all creatures if studied shows similar pattern of rest and work and sleep. Body has some biological rhythms that decide the period of the tissue growth and repair, elimination of waste etc. In fact blood pressure body temperature, hormone levels, brain activity and other functions obey this cycle which is called as circadian. These rhythms are interaction between external cues and internal clock related to earth’s magnetism, gravitation field, electrical fields, cosmic radiations and other planets motion. Our body has twelve acupuncture meridians each has heightened activity for two hours, totalling 24 hours hence the cycle called as circadian is similar to rotation of earth. The body has bio rhythms of 28 days for emotional, 14 days for physical, and then has 33 days for the mental aspects. The healing effect is found to be cyclic. Some days it is noticed that the body have high energy level and hence could rebuild tissues which makes us feel very great. Some other day body detoxifies and removes accumulated toxins, which makes us to experience low level of depression and energy. These days the life style led by most of the people and the diet pattern followed by them inhibits this body cycle of natural detoxification. Body cleaning itself through cold but the person takes medicine of cold that suppress the body natural detoxification process and the body abandons its effort of cleaning. When body cleans heavily we had a feeling of , but we feel great the very next day as toxins are cleaned. The feeling is so great that body digs more inside the body and remove some of the toxins which may be older, we feel again worse. This cycle of healing is a continuous process. Once the body achieves a certain level of health then these cycles are not noticed appreciably and hence they cause least discomfort

Body_detoxification_via_ionization
Let’s start with a well known saying ”health is wealth. Good health is more important than creation of wealth as one need to be in state of good health to enjoy his creation of health. its been truly said that health is an inevitable part of human life .In a way to enjoy all other benefits of life one needs to possess a healthy body. An individual can lead a peaceful life if he is free from all kind of strain and strenuous life. Ionization is breaking up of molecule into ions(positive or negative) which can be done by placing ionic rod in water. The main effect of modernisation or industrialisation is that Manual labour has been replaced by technical equipments, which has resulted in lethargic body problems, and laziness. This automated world has made man prone to all these diseases which make detoxification as one of the most essential process of body cleansing. As we all know detoxification is nothing, but the removal of all the waste products from the body. Several techniques are adopted to detox the body from unwanted foreign material which our body gets from environment and food we eat. A diet chart must be followed to carry out this process of cleansing. Now we will study about the most important and effective detox method i.e body detoxification via ionization. People prefer to go for the easiest and safest technique of body detoxification like ionizing foot bath. This technique gives good results. This technique removes toxins from the body in painless way. Several companies have utilised the basic water formula in which there are two hydrogen atoms and one oxygen atoms for developing ionised water footbath which could be used in eliminating toxins from the body. The affect of detoxification by ionisation can be easily understood by considering the example of walking along the beach which has a very soothing effect on one as he feels a renewed energy because of attraction of negative charge ions which creates an alkaline reaction in the body. Ionizing footbath is a recommended treatment for eliminating all types of toxins from body. These toxins affect the health of a person ranging from pain in joints and muscle and other major organs. Body detoxification via ionization involves putting ones foot in a tub of hot water and the ion rod breaks the water molecule into positive and negative charge. Our body being positively charged due to toxins, the negative charge attract the toxins and helps in removal of toxins via skin.

Detox_from_feet
Detoxification is a process of removing toxins from a person’s body which get gathered in our body in various forms such as metals, minerals, pesticides and other harmful substance which prevents normal biological development of human body. We must have come across cases of disorders at younger age which were not frequent prior to world war. Toxins enter human body through various means like industrial waste drained in river which seeps through and accumulate in ground water and finally to our body through food we eat and water we drink. Detoxification from feet is a very relaxing and soothing process which ends up by providing a person with sound sleep. In this hectic life style everyone need at least a sound sleep which has become an unattainable task. Let’s see how ionic foot bath works wonder for individuals. In this process person is asked to put his foot in a tub of hot water at least for half an hour, in the mean time current is passed through which is not felt but this current will ultimately remove all the toxins out of your body through the tiny pores present on your feet in a very efficient and effective manner. The second big segment of detoxification in the human body is through skin after lungs. The current in the water helps in breakdown of water molecule in to oxygen and hydrogen. Negative ions are created in the water. Our body being positively charged absorbs these negative ions, which in turn helps in neutralising free radicals. As this process continues more and more toxins are loosened from the body which can be pesticides, pollutants, dirt particles and viruses even. When you are through to the process of foot bath one feels much relieved and relaxed and is full of energy which can be used for carrying out other activities. Amount of Toxic burden in your body determine the number of foot baths needed by your body which is approximate to eleven to twenty two baths in a period of seven to eleven weeks. Precautions has to taken before going for a foot bath. Pregnant and lactating women should avoid detoxification from feet and children below 6 years are not recommended for fotbath. Detoxification from feet is highly recommended to individuals who deal with heavy toxic elements.Foot bath is easiest and enjoyable procees which is not tiring at all but rejvenate the body and it’s functioning. while having a footbath person can enjoy reading and watch TV if he likes . Hence it is time saving also.

Lymph_detox
Two most important circulatory fluids in our body are blood and lymph. After digestion and the work of the cells, waste material moves away from the cells of the body and is carried away by the blood and the lymph. Lymph is same as blood but doesn’t contain red blood cells. The intestinal fluid bathes all the cells in the body which consists of materials from the stream of blood with substances passed out of the cells. The proper functioning of lymphatic system is must as it carries out all the waste toxins out from the body cells. It is the colon through which the mucous matter from the lymph is moved out from the body. The walls of the colon are surrounded by small lymph vessels which merge into large number of vessels that drain into cistern chyli (is the origin of the thoracic duct) Lymphatic detoxification is an effective way of cleansing the mucous. Tissues are made up of cells and all the tissues are bathed in blood, and the blood for this is supplied by the intestines. If the intestine are not clean, the blood for sure will be dirty and so the organs and tissues. The first and foremost care has to be taken of intestines and then only effective healing will be possible as the food gets digested around those parts and if digestion is not proper then system also won’t function. The junk food that we eat and its quality determine how polluted our system is and moreover the air we inhale is full of pollutants. Our body has become the store house of chemicals or breeding house of toxins. The intestinal tissue is not clean, blood is not clean and the tissues and cells are also affected by it. The detoxification which has to be carried out by our body is not up to the mark. Metabolism of the body is disturbed. The toxins are bombarded within inside and outside. Industrial chemicals dumped into sewage and ground water gets affected, chemicals discharged into surface water, chemical pollutants are released into environment, air pollution via vehicles and industrial chimneys. These external toxins are entered in our body via air we breathe and food we eat. Therefore it becomes inevitable for our body to eliminate these toxins out of our body before they attack any sensitive part of our body. Our body is designed to fight with toxins but due to overload present in our body it becomes difficult for body to perform all these functions alone.
