If you’re searching for a fast and effective way to cleanse, you’ve probably seen that there area variety of detox methods available. This article will explain the major ones.
Detox With Diet
The principle of all cleansing is to support your body to eliminate more toxins and faster than it does under normal conditions. The body does this best when you eat simple, healthy foods. A detox diet program will have you follow a limited calorie diet based mostly on fresh fruits and vegetables. One of the advantages of this approach to cleansing is that it’s easy enough for anyone – even children and the elderly – to complete.
Fasting
Fasting is a more radical approach to detox. During a fast you consume only water or fresh juice for anywhere from 1 to 30 days. Fasting often provides quicker results than cleansing with diet, but it is more difficult to complete and can produce detox symptoms such as headache, low energy and nausea. For this reason fasting is best for people who have some experience with detox already.
The Master Cleanse
The master cleanse is a way to detox that has been around since the 1930s but has recently become popular. It is basically a fast that involves you drinking only a brew of water, lemon juice, cayenne pepper and maple syrup for 10-40 days (here is the recipe). It is an extreme way to cleanse, but it does get powerful results for people.
Colon Hydrotherapy
This method for detox involves visiting a trained therapist who uses a special machine that pushes water into your colon in an effort to clean it. It’s generally considered a safe procedure, but it can be costly. One other disadvantage of this type of cleanse is that it only cleanses the colon and the liver and kidneys.
Herbal Detox
An herbal detox program is the most complete detox method available. The process involves following a cleansing diet and taking a special combination of herbs that are designed to cleanse all of the major detoxification organs including: the colon, the liver, the kidneys, the gallbladder and the skin. Though more expensive than other forms of detox, herbal cleansing is an all-in-one solution for cleansing.
