You may have heard that body cleansing is a way to gain optimal health. But what, exactly, is a body cleanse?
Body cleansing is just a method to detoxify your body internally. Often, people don’t give much consideration to the number and amounts chemicals they’re regularly consuming and applying on their skin. But if you start to take a closer look, you’ll likely see a whole lot of unnatural chemicals on the labels, and these chemicals are foreign to your body – your body doesn’t really know what to do with them. Because pesticides and insecticides aren’t labeled, unless you’re eating all organic food, those poisons are in your every meal too.
You’re well aware that those substances don’t belong inside of you – but how do you go about getting them outside of you? That’s where body cleansing comes in – and it often involves colon cleansing, liver cleansing, and even doing a gallbladder cleanse. Colon cleansing is done regularly with enemas, or even professional colonics. Liver cleansing is done with coffee enemas. While coffee enemas can sound a bit strange, they work beautifully to detoxify your liver! Believe it or not, you can remove your gallstones, by drinking concoctions of Epsom salts, and lemon juice and olive oil. The complete recipe you can find by doing a quick search online.
Water fasting and juice fasting can be a part of cleansing too. Did you know that fasting is a powerful method of detoxification? Juice fasting provides hearty nutrition, while you’re detoxifying your body.
Because the powers of coconut oil have become well known, coconut oil is regularly used in body cleansing too. Did you know coconut oil is a powerful antiviral and antibacterial agent? Coconut oil is so powerful that some cleanses are based around fasting on lemonade with coconut oil in it.
