Detoxification Programs Naturopaths
How does a detoxification program work?
The process of detoxification involves the removal of “toxins” from the body in order to reduce the harm caused by these substances and improve organ functioning. The build-up of toxins is thought to be a result of the consumption of certain foods and drinks, such as alcohol, as well as due to environmental exposures, such as heavy metals like lead and mercury. A detoxification program, therefore, is a prescribed set of rules, typically surrounding nutrition, that one follows to reduce the levels of such toxins within their body. Common detoxification programs include juice cleanses, water fasting, and similar practices. However, detoxification can also simply be the abstinence of consuming certain substances; for instance, ending one's consumption of alcohol may be referred to as detoxification as well. Thus, the structure of detoxification programs can vary widely depending on the needs of the client, but they generally involve a highly structured routine to ensure compliance with the program.
