Detoxification is a major benefit that can derive from using an Infrared Sauna.
New technology has brought to light the detoxification benefits of using a far infrared sauna. Whether you use the personal, portable infrared sauna, a multi-person pre-manufactured sauna or you build your own custom infrared sauna; research has shown that there are extended health benefits from the use of this device.
Detoxification comes by the way of increased perspiration due to the deep heating nature of the far infrared sauna. While a conventional sauna, one that you would most likely find in a gym or near a swimming pool, heats the air around you; a far infrared sauna actually heats objects, causing a more direct heat that has a much cooler atmosphere. This is why it is much easier to breathe when using an infrared sauna as opposed to a steam based sauna; the air around you does not need to be heated for you to receive the warming benefits. (more…)
Like Cinderella, the lymph labors quietly in the shadows to clean up the mess made by virtually all the other systems of the body. Widely regarded as a lesser sister to the circulatory system, the lymphatic system is actually a crucial player in your body’s ability to ward off disease and heal from injury.
The lymphatic system is recognized by doctors in Europe and the Far East for its importance to preventive health care. They understand how lymphatic function supports every other system in the body, including the immune, digestive, detoxification and nervous systems. In fact, many believe that poor lymph health underlies a host of conditions, from cellulite to cancer. (more…)
From health.yahoo.com - Now is the season of awakening. In the flowering trees and noisy birds, we feel spring all around us. Why not feel it inside, too, with a detoxification program — a cleansing for your body and mind.
Your body is not unlike your car — an efficient machine that performs consistently only when it is given proper care. And just like a car needs a regular change of oil and various filters to eliminate the waste products that degrade its performance, the body needs to be cleared of the chemicals and toxins that clog its system.
Many of these toxins are the destructive side effects of our chemical inventions, from the preservatives and additives found in foods or the contaminants in the water supply to the formaldehyde in carpets and furniture. Your body can process and eliminate some of the hordes of chemicals that enter, but the overflow gets stored in the liver, lungs, kidneys, fat cells, intestines, blood stream, and skin — which can result in chronic illnesses down the road.
Feel Fresh with a Daily Detox
Here is a full day of practices to gently detoxify your body:
1. Begin your day with gentle stretches that warm up your body and awaken your mind.
2. Make yourself some cleansing lemon tea. Simply heat up filtered water and squeeze half of a lemon in it. This will cleanse your digestive system.
3. For your detox diet, choose high fiber and organic foods, and eat more beans, brown rice, oat bran, vegetables, fruits, and chicken or turkey. This Super Cleanse Broth will spring you into good health. To make, simply prepare a broth from: collards, Swiss chard, kale, mustard greens, cabbage, dandelion, Brussels sprouts, daikon radish, watercress, seaweed, shitake mushrooms, cilantro, garlic, leeks, fennel, anise, ginger, and turmeric.
4. Drink your veggies in juice form! Try a terrific detox juice made with Aloe vera juice, apples, asparagus, beet greens, cabbage, carrot greens, celery, cucumbers, and parsley.
5. Soak for 20 minutes in a revitalizing herbal bath. To help draw out toxins, infuse your bath water with eucalyptus, wintergreen, peppermint, fennel, cinnamon, and epsom salts.
Herbal Therapy
Whether steeped into tea or added to your cooking, you can use these potent cleansing herbs to remove toxic build up and wastes from your body:
• Chrysanthemum flower: Traditionally used to cleanse the liver, brighten vision, and neutralize toxins - and studies show that chrysanthemum lowers blood pressure and cholesterol and balances blood sugar.
• Dandelion: Research shows that dandelion root enhances the flow of bile, improving liver conditions such as hepatitis, gallstones, and jaundice.
• Milk thistle: Extensive research has found that the major component of milk thistle extract, silymarin, has a protective and a restorative effect on the liver, stimulating the growth of new liver cells to replace old damaged cells.
• Hawthorn berry: A famous cardiovascular tonic that is chock full of antioxidants, hawthorn is used to cleanse the blood of plaque and other toxins; according to studies, it helps the body maintain healthy cholesterol and blood pressure.
• Turmeric: A common spice, turmeric speeds up the detoxification process in the whole body by increasing bile production and release, eliminating toxins like heavy metals and other chemicals.
• Seaweed: The algin in seaweed absorbs toxins from the digestive system and has been thought to absorb and remove drugs, chemicals, heavy metals, and radioactive strontium from the body. Some experts claim that seaweed’s active ingredient, sodium alginate, binds these toxins in the gastrointestinal tract, preventing their absorption into the body.
Jon Barron and The Baseline of Health Foundation have touted for years that regular detoxing of ALL major organs is essential to maintaining health.
It is simple: you can down all the vitamins, herbs, and antioxidants but you won’t see your health turn around if your colon is filled with putrid fecal matter or if your liver can’t clean toxins out of your blood and perform its daily functions.
Why do a detox? Some of you may know about different types of water or juice fasting, but very few have incorporated a full body, organ specific cleanse as designed in this program. Although general fasting definitely provides overall benefits, targeted detoxing takes advantage of certain herbs, nutraceuticals, or alternative health protocols to greatly accelerate the process – particularly in regard to specific body systems and/or organs. The combined fast with an organ-specific detox offers the most powerful cleansing program for overall health of the body.
The specific detoxes include the colon detox, heavy metal detox, gallbladder & kidney cleanse, and finally the liver & blood detox (specifically in this order).
Let’s look at all of them in detail:
Why Do A Colon Detox
There is an old saying, “Death Begins In The Colon.” Although an oversimplification, the road to health begins with intestinal cleansing and detoxification–no matter what the disease or problem.
And, you miss the big picture when you think it is just about drawing out old fecal matter. We are talking about enhancing each function from your mouth to your anus: digestion, nutrient transfer, waste processing, metabolic functions, toxic drainage, and boosting your immune system. For this program, you MUST do a colon detox before a liver detox or you risk having major toxins push back into the blood stream (since your drain pipe is plugged). Learn More…
Why Do A Heavy Metal Cleanse
Many health ailments–headaches, exhaustion, and muscle cramps–are coming from heavy metal toxicity. It has been implicated in everything from increased risk of Alzheimer’s and cardiovascular disease to mental retardation and cancer. And, with today’s environmental pollutants, everyone around the globe is at risk.
Why Do Kidney & Gallbladder Cleanse
The National Kidney and Urologic Diseases Information Clearinghouse estimates that each year, nearly 100,000 Americans are newly diagnosed with kidney failure. More than 100,000 currently have End Stage Renal Disease (ESRD) due to diabetes, and an astounding 7.7 million have physiological evidence of chronic kidney disease.
Yikes! Paramount to good care of the kidneys is reducing the toxic load they have to deal with, especially proteins and chemical contaminants which can build up in the kidneys, slowing their function, increasing acidity and raising blood pressure. (more…)
I saw this post/video online. It gives a great rememdy for helping you to sleep, and detoxification of your liver, as well as states that walking just 90 minutes a week, is the best anti-depressant you can get.
Unlike most drugs, the undesirable health effects of nicotine are only long-term. Even so, the complete cost of nicotine addiction to users and to the community is vast!
Statistics from the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention indicate that tobacco use remains the foremost preventable cause of premature death in the United States, causing approximately 440,000 premature fatalities each year and resulting in an annual cost of more than $75 billion in direct medical costs as a result of smoking.
Over the past forty years, cigarette smoking has caused an estimated 12 million deaths, including 4.1 million fatalities from malignant tumors, 5.5 million fatalities from vascular disease, 2.1 million deaths from lung disease, and 94,000 infant deaths associated with pregnant mothers smoking during gestation.
Over the last 25 years, Japanese and Chinese researchers and clinicians have done extensive research on far-infrared treatments and reported many provocative findings. In Japan there is an “Infrared Society”, composed of medical doctors and physical therapists, to further research and support the health benefits of infrared as a healing method.
There have been over 700,000 infrared saunas sold in the Orient for whole-body treatments, and an additional 30 million people have received localized infrared treatment in the Orient, Europe and Australia with lamps turned to the same 2~25 micron waveband as employed in their whole body. Whole-body infrared therapy has been used for over 80 years by German physicians in an independently developed form.
Sauna Benefits:
Heating of the tissues enhances metabolic processes. Greater cellular energy production facilitates healing. Viruses, tumors and toxin-laden cells are weaker than normal cells. They tolerate heat poorly. Raising the body temperature causes infections to heal more quickly. Hyperthermia or fever therapy helps combat infections and even cancer. Our bodies develop fever when ill to enhance metabolism and help kill germs. (more…)
