Toxins include everything from perfume, alcohol, cigarette smoke to pesticides, mercury, food additives and cleaning supplies, just to name a few. They are transformed chemically to less harmful elements that can be excreted from the stool or urine.
Is there anybody who should not try an herbal detox diet?
Prior to starting a detox diet, consult your physician to find out if a detox diet is right for you. A detox diet is not recommended for pregnant or nursing women, children or people with anemia, eating disorders, heart problems, low blood pressure, diabetes, cancer, or ulcerative colitis, unless recommended and supervised by your physician.
There are so many different detox plans you can follow; choose carefully. Some will consist of complete fasting or juice-only days, but be careful of the health implications and never start this extreme plan without consulting your physician or a certified and qualified nutritionist.
Benefits of Detoxing
*improves symptoms of heartburn, constipation and gas; treats digestive disorders.
*boosts the immune system.
Allergies and Sensitivities
By far, traditional health care only deals with covering up the symptoms of allergies and food sensitivities, rather than resolve them. The first step that many alternative practitioners suggest is to change his/her diet that eliminates wheat and dairy foods, the two common allergens. This is the first step in detoxing. Higher levels of detoxing, as well as additional immune support through nutritional supplementation, have been known to aid many allergy sufferers. However, allergies are a very individualized condition.
What happens after the detoxing process?
Various foods that were eliminated during detoxification can be allergenic. A natural health practitioner can aid in systematically reintroducing food groups, such as wheat, dairy, gluten, corn, and pay attention to identify the food groups that may be aggravating health conditions, as in sinus congestion, fatigue, skin condition, arthritis, bloating and constipation.
It is normal for flare-ups to occur. It is very important for physicians to supervise these conditions.
