The word detox often brings to mind, purges, lemons, cabbage, fasting and many other ideas. These strong forms of detoxing are helpful for some conditions under the guidance of a health care advisor. However, before this approach becomes necessary we could spend some time each day helping our body to keep us well.
Our bodies have an incredibly intelligent and sophisticated ability to keep us in balance, repair damage and heal. Even in less than optimal conditions our bodies will still work to find ways to keep us alive. A big part of our job is to help our bodies achieve health and balance by creating optimal conditions for it to function in.
We have multiple organs and systems for eliminating toxins from our body. Aromatherapy can be used to help nurture these systems and improve our natural detoxifying processes. We can gently improve our health every day by encouraging detoxification.
