Detoxing & Eliminating Toxins

The 5 Elimination Organs

Colon (defecation)

Ensure you are moving your bowels every day, ideally twice. Constipation places a huge burden on your body as toxic waste in the colon will be reabsorbed across the colon wall if peristalsis does not move waste products through the colon effectively

Additional Methods to support Colon Detoxification

• Coffee Enemas
• Regular exercise to promote health peristalsis
• Adequate water to prevent dehydration and hardening of the stool (constipation)
• Castor oil packing over the lower bowel
• Perform the Balanced Babes 3-day Colon Cleanse protocol several times a year https://balancedbabes.com.au/colon-cleanse-detox/
• Regularly consume high fibre colon cleansing foods: Broccoli, dark leafy greens, Oats & oatmeal, Raspberries, legumes, brown rice, high-fibre fruits, such as pears, avocados, and blackberries
• Herbals teas which support bowel function without causing a laxative effect: peppermint, ginger, dandelion root, green tea, licorice root, marshmallow root, chamomile

Kidney (urination)

The kidneys act as a natural filtration system for the body, removing waste, toxins, and excess water from the blood. The kidneys even cleanse themselves when the body takes in enough fluid.

Additional Methods to support Skin Detoxification

• Drinking adequate FILTERED WATER everyday
• Keeping alcohol intake to a low to moderate intake each week
• Include kidney detoxification supportive herbal tea in your daily routine: Dandelion tea, Marshmallow root, Juniper, Nettles, Red clover, dried ginger, goldenrod
• Add Parsley & fresh ginger to your daily cold pressed juice
• Include kidney cleansing foods in your diet: Apple cider vinegar, kidney beans, lemon juice, watermelon, pomegranate, Basil, Dates

Liver (bile & blood)

Your liver represents the human body’s primary filtration system, converting toxins into waste products, cleansing your blood, and metabolizing nutrients and medications to provide the body with some of its most important proteins.

Additional Methods to support Liver Detoxification

• Consume a more plant-based diet to reduce exposure to animal toxins, hormones, antibiotics etc
• Perform Coffee enemas
• Utilize Herbal medicine for liver detoxification: Balanced Babes: RegenerateME liver tonic
• Castor oil packing with grapefruit essential oil over the liver
• Infrared saunas
• Take magnesium salt baths
• Drink only filtered water
• Undertake a professional detoxification protocol under practitioner guidance once a year
• Avoid toxic household cleaning products
• Avoid air synthetic fragrances in the home, office and car
• Use only organic mineral make up and other natural beauty care products on your skin

Skin (sweating)

Ensuring you sweat a minimum 4 times per week is essential for removing toxins from the blood and lymphatic system out of the body

Additional Methods to support Skin Detoxification

• Infrared Sauna
• Exercise
• Sun bathing – out of the hottest part of the day where UV radiation is the highest
• Perform dry skin brushing before your shower with a skin brush
• Utilize bentonite or zeolite clay packing or skin masks
• Avoid using toxic sunscreens on the skin, choose only natural plant based chemical free sunscreen, which will not trap toxins in the skin

Lungs (breath & catarrh)

When we breath and exchange oxygen from the air it travels into the lungs in exchange for carbon dioxide and other waste products which are eliminated through the breath. Ensuring optimal lung function is an important part of eliminating waste.
