What is an Herbal Detox?


If you are like many people, you’ve likely seen some of those infomercials on TV that tout the healing benefits of a detox. But what the heck is that? Well that is actually a complex answer.

Nearly everyone today has an incredibly hectic lifestyle. Both parents work full time and then there are the kids in 5 different team sports and people spend their days rushing around, and usually grabbing dinner from the drive through a couple times a week, and that’s not counting all the lunches that come from the same unhealthy place, or that get skipped altogether. All of this adds undue stress on the body and when stress levels go up so do Cortisol levels. Cortisol is a hormone that your body creates in response to stress. Prolonged elevation of this hormone can lead to a variety of problems, including obesity. But this is where a detox can help. Detoxing removes harmful toxins from the body, leaving you feeling refreshed and energized.

There are a number of different types of detox products available. Some are designed to work with a specific part of the body, such as the liver or colon, and others are full body detox systems, designed to give the body a good spring cleaning. These systems are widely available, but it’s important to be careful of the one you choose. It should be all natural, herbal based, and contain no synthetic ingredients or harsh stimulants.

It is recommended that people detox at least twice a year, however some find it more beneficial to do it more often, such as 4-6 times per year. This will depend on your individual lifestyle. One thing is universally true. If you take good care of your body, it will last longer, and isn’t health and longevity something we all want?
