Total Body Detoxing Methods

A total body detoxification removes toxins and other foreign substances from the body's organs and cells. Toxins are taken in through the body from pollution, household chemicals and a poor diet. The detox process can take anywhere from several days to a month. If a faster result is desired, detox methods can be combined.

Juicing

According to Body Detox Resources, juicing is one of the most popular methods used for removing toxins from the body. Juicing is simply taking raw fruits and vegetables, mixing them up in a blender and then drinking them. Fruits and vegetables have high enzyme levels that help to fight systemic yeast. Juicing can also lower pH levels, which kills off diseases, parasites and viruses in the body. Popular fruits and vegetables used in juicing include carrots, pineapples, cucumbers, kiwi, beets, bananas, radishes, lemons and apples.

Saunas and Massages

A sauna uses heat to rid the tissues and cells of parasites and toxins. A sauna is beneficial because only healthy cells are able to withstand its high levels of heat. Deep massage therapy is used to eliminate toxins in the lymph nodes and muscle tissues. Most people that use massages as a form of detox also choose to do a colon cleanse to help the body release the toxins that are released by the massage.

Colon Cleanses

According to The Colon Cleansing Zone, there are two different types of colon cleanses: colonic irrigation and powder cleanses. Powder cleanses are generally mixed with water or juice. You drink the mixture of herbs for two to four weeks to detoxify the colon. Colonic irrigation is generally performed by a licensed colon hydrotherapist. The colon irrigation method consists of using purified water to flush the large intestines. No matter which method you choose, both will eliminate fecal and mucus impactions where parasites, yeast and toxins are harbored.

Ionic Foot Baths

Ionic foot baths are used to detox many cells and organs. Both positive and negative ions are used to remove the unbalanced cells from within the body. The unbalanced cells are ones that have been invaded by parasites, toxins and viruses. Examining the color of the water after the ionic foot bath can determine what area the toxins are being released from. For example, if the water has an orange tint, detoxification of the joints is occurring.
