As a wellness counselor of many years, and someone who practices what I preach, I have come to respect the holistic wellbeing cleansing can facilitate and the overall healing effect of a good detox. However, there are limits to what even the best detox program can do and there are certain things a detox can never do for you.

Detoxification and internal cleansing is NOT a quick fix for a bad lifestlye.

The body detox information presented here is, at best, a temporary measure for better health if undergone without a commitment to positive change afterwards.

The detoxing articles you will find below provide comprehensive information on internal cleansing, including how to find the best detox program, how to avoid or minimize the healing crisis during detoxification, how to determine what type of cleanse you may need, and much more.

Detoxing is only the beginning of vibrant health and wellbeing:
Detoxing the body helps restore healthy digestion and elimination but the real key to eliminatory and digestive health lies in consistent good practices that include:

Eating a healthy, well-balanced diet

Getting good, restful sleep

Maintaining a regular, moderate exercise routine

Getting an adequate daily intake of pure water

Foregoing fast foods and junk foods

Successfully Managing Stress

In addition to detoxing regularly in a safe, effective way, I encourage you to pursue health through positive lifestyle changes so that, after the detox is over, you continue to stay internally decongested.

Even the best detox program cannot replace healthy eating and living. As long as you are putting toxic foods and drinks into your body, you are reversing the effects of detoxing as you go.

Give yourself the precious gift of self-love and your internal cleanse experience will be a life-affirming choice. Detox to feel better about yourself and your life and you will find that detoxing your body reinforces healthy decisions in other areas of your life.

On the other hand, if you turn to internal cleansing as a quick fix for a chronic problem or while continuing a lifestyle that does not support healthy diet and elimination, the results of even the best detox program available will be be temporary.

The choice is yours.

Learn how to detox and learn how to live healthy. Now, that's a winning combination!

A good place to start: Cautions when Detoxing Your Body


Internal Cleansing is not a cure-all:
Something I stress repeatedly whe counseling folks on internal cleansing is that detoxing, apart from making the lifestyle changes that may be needed to support a healthier eliminatory system, is not going to give anyone the life-affirming health benefits that can be available through internal cleansing on a regular basis.

If you are serious about creating better health through detoxing the body, learn to practice wellness on a daily basis in your daily life, for optimal results.

If you have a health challenge and are hoping detoxing will help the body address it, be sure you also look at other ways you may be able to assist your body in healing itself instead of expecting to get healthy through detoxing alone.

Detoxing Disclaimer: These health education articles on detoxification are not a replacement for any needed medical attention for colon problems. If you have diverticulitis, in most cases, a cleanse is contraindicated so check with your doctor first. Internal cleansing releases toxins and waste, sometimes quite rapidly. Do not undergo a detox diet or program or an internal cleanse unless you understand that a temporary healing crisis can result.
