  • Colon – eliminates waste and toxins, absorbs nutrients in food
  • Liver/kidneys – metabolize and excrete toxins, helps purify the blood
  • Lymph – collects excess proteins and toxins in a fluid to be carried out of the body
  • Lungs – takes in oxygen for cell regulation and renewal, and expels carbon dioxide
  • Skin – largest organ of the body eliminates toxins in sloughing dead skin cells and through sweat

A total body detox will include a number of methods targeted to each organ of elimination.  These may include the use of herbs, exercise, hydrotherapy, and a healthful diet.  The process may last as long as a month and should be performed once or twice per year.  Contact your natural health practitioner for your custom design detox program.
