Almost every modern day disease, condition, health problem or symptom is created by environmental toxins and lifestyle choices. And by simply detoxifying your body completely, most of these problems can be cured, reversed, or reduced dramatically.

Our lives are filled with chemicals, poisons and toxins. Everywhere we go we’re putting them into our body from the air we breath, the additives placed in our drinking water, the chemicals used in food processing, and even chemicals and medications which are used on plants and animals that we eventually eat. All of this stuff adds up to major problems for the human body.

Many diseases, syndromes and chronic health problems are linked either directly or indirectly to toxins and poisons. And this has been proven in both scientific studies, as well as herbal and alternative remedy results.

Imagine using your stove to cook dinner every night for forty years, without ever cleaning up after yourself. You never wash up spills, never disinfect, nothing. Can you imagine the work it would take after thirty or forty years to actually get that stove clean again? Yet this is what we do to our bodies. We stuff them full of junk food, chemicals, preservatives, empty calories and more… without ever cleaning them. This causes a major build up of general bad stuff inside the body.

And that’s why body detox techniques are one of the first suggestions made by herbal and alternative remedy specialists when health problems arise. By detoxifying your body, you’re started the massive clean up that’s needed so that it can become healthy again.

When your body is clogged with toxins and poisons, it cannot operate at it’s fully functional, fully healthy level. In fact, it often starts rebelling in a variety of creative ways. Take a skin disease known as Psoriasis for example. Psoriasis is caused by your body’s immune system over reacting to some stimulus, and it’s pushing new skin cells to the surface at a much faster rate than normal. This creates a pile up on the surface of the skin, which results in thick, scaly, flaky sore like spots in various places of the body, such as the elbows, knees and scalp.

Doctors and researchers feel there is no cure for psoriasis though, so they simply try to treat the skin build up and various symptoms that creates. They sometimes even try to supress the bodies immune system with drugs in order to prevent the skin surface build up. From an herbal and natural point of view though, this is just going to create more health problems in the end.

The problem is that your body’s natural waste disposal system is clogged up in some way. And because it’s clogged and stagnated, the toxins which are supposed to be removed from your body through solid waste are sitting there leaking back in and poisoning your body. This creates a variety of diseases and health problems because your body becomes desparate to clean out the toxins and waste that’s polluting it. So if it cannot get rid of things the normal way - through elimination via the colon - one of the next things it trys to do is get rid of the toxins through your skin.

By fully detoxifying your body though, you can start removing that toxic build up that’s causing the problems, and allow your body to start healing itself naturally.

Detoxifying and Cleansing Your Body

Many herbalists and herbal remedy specialists feel that most modern day diseases, severe illnesses, and chronic health conditions are caused by things being wrong inside your body. Many years of eating junk food, ready made meals with preservatives and other chemicals, not getting enough vitamins and minerals and so on has caused a build up of bad stuff inside your body. An equivalent scenario would be to imagine the way dirt might build up in a house that isn’t cleaned for twenty, thirty, or forty years.

Because of this, a lot of herbal and alternative remedies designed to help with specific conditions won’t always seem to have anything to do with the specific condition at all. This is because instead of treating the symptoms of a condition, herbalists believe you should treat the underlying cause of that condition instead.

An excellent example is a type of skin disease known as psoriasis. Psoriasis is caused by your body’s immune system over reacting to some stimulus, and it’s pushing new skin cells to the surface at a much faster rate than normal. Usually new skin cells rise to the surface in about thirty days, but people who suffer from psoriasis get new skin cells pushed to the surface every 3-5 days instead. This creates a pile up on the surface of the skin, which results in thick, scaly, flaky sore like spots in various places on the body. The most common places to see psoriasis scales is on the elbows, knees and scalp, but they can occur on the feet, hands, ankles, or even all over your skin too.

Now, modern day medicine feels there is no cure for psoriasis, so treatments tend to revolve around trying to minimize the scaly skin build up. In fact, some treatments actually try to supress the bodies own immune system in order to “solve” the problem. But from an herbalist point of view, this can only lead to further problems.

When your body’s normal waste removal systems are clogged up or stagnated, it can cause those toxins to leak back into your blood stream and create havoc for all the organs. This creates a variety of diseases, conditions and symptoms because your body becomes desparate to clean out the toxins and waste that’s polluting it. So if it cannot get rid of things the normal way - through elimination via the colon - one of the next things it trys to do is get rid of the toxins through your skin.

This is just a simple summary of some of the major problems that can occur from your body being overly toxic. But it’s a nice introduction to the issue, and one you’ll need to be aware of as you proceed with your own personal herbal remedy learning. As you come across alternative and herbal remedies in books, online, or via other people, you will often hear people talking about needing to detox or cleanse the body. And sometimes this will start happening naturally for some people as they start using herbs to treat various illnesses, vitamin deficiencies, and other health problems they may have.

Detoxifying your body is often done with the use of enemas, because these help you quickly flush out any stagnant waste within your colon. Diet and fasting can be used to detoxify as well though, and there are many herbs which help with this process too. So we’ll talk about the various ways to detoxify and cleanse in more detail with later blog posts.
