Should you DETOX your body? | Dr Pal

Should you DETOX your body? | Dr Pal

A detox is the process of removing toxins — a generic term for something that makes you feel unwell — from your body. Your body does this automatically, though. That’s the job of the liver and other organs. If you eat something you’re not supposed to, or take too much of a medication, the liver helps metabolize everything. There is no reason why toxins would build up in a healthy person. In most cases, the body has mechanisms to naturally clean out toxins. The thing that we know that works to detox the body is regular exercise, eating healthy, being active, and limiting or avoiding alcohol. If you really want to do this, consider 24 hour water fasting.

    Indian Ayurveda talked and knew this five thousand years ago, Western medicine has no treatment for liver related diseases. Ayurveda has an array of medicines for liver issues which a gastroenterologist cannot do.
