What are some signs that you need to detoxify?
When the organs of elimination – the liver, the intestines, the kidneys, the lungs and the skin – are burdened with excessive toxins they will show signs of distress. The following are some of the signs and symptoms that show that it is time to enhance waste elimination:
- Rashes, pimples, or offensive body odor indicate the skin is stressed.
- Frequent, painful or urgent urination or dark or offensive smelling urine, indicates the kidneys are stressed.
- Gas, diarrhea and constipation are the first signs of intestinal stress. Green, mucous in the stools, itchy skin or right sided chest and back pain indicates the liver is stressed.
- Congestion, coughs or wheezing indicates the lungs are stressed.
From headaches to hypertension, each of us will show signs of stress differently, depending upon our weaknesses and the nature of the toxins we are burdened with. Ignoring these signs will cause stressed organs to become diseased, resulting in a dramatic reduction in health and longevity.
No matter what the disease or problem, the road to health begins with intestinal cleansing and detoxification. This cleansing or detoxification is not just about drawing out old fecal matter. It is about enhancing every function from your mouth to your anus: digestion, selection, assimilation, waste processing, boosting your immune system, removing toxic waste, and so on.
