Detox your body With Homeopathy
Toxins are becoming a bigger part of
our world. Indeed, there is
more toxic exposure in the modern world than the
human body was designed to process. Sometimes the organs, such as the liver,
can become so overloaded that they stop functioning effectively.
Ideally, toxins are completely broken down and
easily excreted. But when drugs, vaccines, food additives and refined foods
accumulate in organs and tissues, they interfere with the complete breakdown of
toxins. Things begin to function less optimally. Worse yet, some additives,
pesticides and trans fatty acids cannot be easily recognized by the body. They
clog up and deposit as storage inside cells, in ligaments, muscles, joints,
arteries, liver, heart and brain
Toxins is a general term given to
accumulated waste products. These can generally be divided into three distinct
groups:
1. Exogenous wastes- such as those
ingested (chemical wastes derived from foods or drug therapy etc) or inhaled.
2. Endogenous wastes- such as those
produced by bacteria, viruses or the body’s reaction to them (pus, etc) or
those produced by normal metabolism.
3. Autogenous wastes- These relate
to an individual’s genetic or miasmatic potential for generating particular
kinds of wastes that have an affinity for particular varieties of tissue, such
as can be seen in situations such as arthritis.
Firstly, it is important to know
which bodily systems are involved in releasing and draining toxins, and what
symptoms arise if they are not functioning properly. The systems which release
and drain toxins are called primary emunctories. All have membranes through
which the toxins will exit.
Kidney: filters the blood and makes urine through which toxins are
excreted. Symptoms of kidney dysfunction are: dark circles under eyes; water
retention; painful/urgent/frequent urination; cystitis.
Liver: transforms toxic substances into non-toxic, water soluble
forms so they can be excreted. Symptoms of dysfunction are: constipation; bad
breath; sore breast before menses; poor digestion of fats; fatigue.
Lymphatic: transports toxic substances from cells to the filters
(liver and kidneys). Symptoms of dysfunction are: sore and puffy tissue just
under the skin; chronically swollen lymph nodes; aching soft tissues.
Bowels: gut wall helps protect us from harmful substances using
the surrounding immune system to alert the dangers. Symptoms of dysfunction
are: constipation or diarrhea; leaky gut where toxins flow back into the
bloodstream; allergies and sensitivities; poor immune function.
Lungs and sinuses: exhale toxins to the outside world. Symptoms of
dysfunction: chronic breathing problems; asthma; bronchitis; sinusitis; chronic
cough.
Skin: excretes toxins through sweat and hair follicles. Symptoms
of dysfunction are: hair loss; acne, rosacea, eczema; dry skin and rashes; body odor; and excessive and/or burning sweat.
Genitals: menses and ejaculate excrete toxins. Symptoms of
dysfunction are: Men — pus in urine or ejaculate; Women — abnormal clots or pus
in flow, vaginitis.
symptoms of Toxicity:
Toxins accumulate into our blood and
organs causing stress on the immune system, resulting in symptoms. If you are
enduring some of these symptoms then it is time for a detox.
- Low energy.
- Gas, bloating, frequent constipation or diarrhea.
- Irritable bowel syndrome.
- Skin irritation.
- Allergies, frequent colds, cough, puffy eyes.
- Menstrual problems.
- Sleep disturbances.

- Viral or parasitic infections.

During detox
However, a detoxification diet can
create a number of symptoms as your body goes through the process of purifying
itself and eliminating toxins. Symptoms may include:
- fatigue
- headaches
- lack of concentration
- irritability
- constipation
- diarrhea
- frequent urination
- mucus or other discharge
- a coated tongue
- skin rash
It is important that you continue
with the detox and not take any conventional drugs for these symptoms. After
the elimination process is done successfully, most people experience an
increased feeling of general well-being and they gradually return to a normal
diet.
