There's a lot of buzz today about "cleansing systems" as a way to cleanse your body. Exactly what does this mean? Ultimately, cleansing means reducing the stress load on the body's major filters; the liver, kidneys, lymph, colon and blood, and allowing it to rid itself of accumulated wastes and garbage.
Just like any machine, the body needs maintenance. Cleansing programs are one type of maintenance that can have long-term benefits. Two important benefits when you cleanse your body are weight loss and relieving the load on your immune system.
There are two basic styles of cleansing. One style focuses on one organ of the body. The other focuses on performing a total body cleanse. Let's discuss both types so you can decide which type suits your cleansing style.
There are two main types of colon cleanses. One often uses fiber or clay along with lots of water to create bulk. That gives the muscles of the colon more to push and thus more wastes are moved out of the body.
the other type of colon cleanse is called therapeutic hydrotherapy. This includes enemas, colonics, colon therapy and colon irrigation. A soothing flow of filtered, temperature-controlled water gently circulates through the colon, coaxing your body to eliminate stored toxins from different areas.
Some other cleansing systems focus on one organ of the body. Skin brushing is a type of cleanse on the largest organ of the body. The skin is the largest organ of elimination. Brushing the skin facilitates cleansing by stimulating the lymphatic system to get rid of toxins through the skin. It also improves circulation and removes dead skin cells and debris that clog pores.
There are also cleanses that focus on the liver. The liver is easily the most overworked organ of the body. Because it has to filter wastes as well as produce many chemicals for the body, cleansing can reduce some of its burden. There are various recipes on the internet for a do it yourself flush The lymphatic system is supposed to be the mover so cellular wastes to the blood and then to the colon and kidneys for removal, but it needs exercise to do its job because it has no pump, like our cardio-vascular system.
One way to stimulate the lymph and help it do its job is to jump on a rebounder or mini trampoline. Jumping rope or simply rocking back and forth in a rocker will also give some of that muscle movement necessary for the lymph to pumped throughout the body.
There is also a massage just for the lymph. I recommend that you seek a trained professional if you want a lymphatic massage.
There are several cleansing systems that do a total body cleanse. The macrobiotic diet popularized by Michio Kushi uses food as a way to cleanse and balance the whole body over time. This is a very old type of diet and I mention it here because I've been on this diet and have seen some remarkable results from it. It needs to be supervised and followed very strictly to achieve the best results. It is a wonderful way to uplift the whole body.
There are various products on the market that are reported to cleanse your body right down to the cellular level. It's worth taking your time to find the right product that supports the organs of detoxification and the body a whole as it goes through the process of releasing wastes held within the cells. Depending on the product this type of cleanse can go from days to months and can involve fasting and purges.
Some products wills deplete the body as you cleanse with the hope of replenishing it after the cleanse is completed, but that's very harsh on the body. It's far better to do a cleanse that both cleanses and supports at the same time and is gentle on the system. I've done that and seen amazing results from a total body cleanse.
With this type of cleansing system you spend a couple of days drinking a specially formulated cleanse mixture that helps your body release wastes as it supports your organs of elimination. Then you replenish your body with highly nutritious shakes and meals. That is followed by again drinking the cleanse drink for two more days. It's a short and very effective program.
Fortunately, the human body is a self-healing machine! That's right, if you care for it, it will give you a quality life. I can't think of a better way to help your organs of elimination than to use a cleansing system to do a total body cleanse. When you cleanse your body, you can add years of vibrant living.
