What is Detoxification & Cleansing?

I believe that all disharmonies in the body, are a message letting us know that something is out of alignment and needs attention. Each and every one of us has a different area in our lives that needs to change in order to restore balance.- Ara Wiseman

Detoxification is an ongoing natural process inside the body to neutralize, transform and eliminate unwanted toxins. Every day, minute and second of your life, there is a delicate balance of building and destroying going on within and around each of your cells. As we build, create and use energy, we generate waste products that must be eliminated.

Our bodies are naturally designed to eliminate the toxins that accumulate inside of us every day. In today’s fast-paced, high-stress society we can easily become overburdened, and our bodies, unfortunately, become less able to detoxify at an optimal level and toxins accumulate in our tissues.  In order to detoxify your body requires energy, and to produce energy your body requires nutrients. Nutrient deficiencies compromise aspects of detoxification.

Therefore, your job is to make sure you provide your body and mind with adequate nutrients, pure water, fresh air, relaxation and sleep.The idea of relaxation is very close to detoxification. In essence, when you truly relax, you release toxic energy, nerve impulses and thoughts that are burdening your body and mind, hindering the healing process or the maintenance of a healthy lifestyle.

Detoxification, using one of our specific cleansing programs, helps to remove excess toxic waste from your body and frees up much-needed energy for your daily life.

Who Will Benefit

Detoxification is beneficial for everyone, by giving our body the assistance it needs to survive and thrive in our increasingly toxic world. Even if you are generally healthy and eating healthy food, undergoing a detoxification cleanse will make you stronger by restoring your body’s resistance to excessive environmental toxins. Our body’s natural inclination is for health— homeostasis—and as in all of nature, it has a natural wisdom to perpetually strive for balance. However, lack of proper nutrients and environmental overload impede the body’s natural ability to filter out harmful chemicals and pollutants and protect against their effects.
