What is Cleansing Therapy and how to find if your body needs cleansing or not?

Cleansing therapy, refers to various practices or treatments aimed at eliminating toxins and impurities from the body. While the specific procedures can vary, the overall goal is to support the body's natural detoxification processes and improve overall well-being.

In the present day scenario, body systems and organs that were once capable of removing unwanted substances are now completely overloaded. Many of these toxic substances stay in our tissues. Our body try to protect us by setting them aside, surrounding them with mucus or fat so that they don't cause an imbalance or trigger an immune reaction.

Over a period of time, these toxins start affecting functioning of our body, making us sick, fatigued and exhausted. It is our duty to periodically cleanse our body to help our organs function better. The process of removing these toxins from the body is called cleansing.

Principles

Cleansing Therapy adopts a holistic approach for curing illnesses. Rather than emphasising on alleviation of symptoms, the therapy focuses on treating their root causes. In order to address this issue, cleansing therapy makes some fundamental assumptions. The main causes of all medical problem are:

• Pollution in the air, chemicals, fertilisers and food.

• Parasites or Pathogens, eg. bacteria and viruses

There is no third cause. Remove pollutants and parasites from your body and it will attain good health on its own.

What is the actual Problem?

Nature has designed us to live in green forests with high oxygen levels and eat raw food. No animal (except a pet) eats cooked food. Cooking food is the first step in polluting the body, but today we do not have a choice. In addition, our modern day food habits have led to the following consequences of bad health:

• Poor assimilation: Proper assimilation provides a constant supply of building materials and energy needed for continual construction of new cells and tissues. Poor assimilation occurs when even one element needed for rebuilding is not sufficiently supplied to the body through diet and digestion, or is unable to convert it into specific nutrients necessary for building cells. Diseases attributed to poor assimilation involve nutritive deficiency resulting in cellular degeneration.

• Poor elimination: The excretory system consists of the intestinal tract, kidneys, pores of the skin, liver and lungs. When an imbalance occurs in any of these organs, the excretory processes slow down and result is a build up of toxins. These toxins can endanger any of the components and systems of the body, down to the cellular level, by impeding the rebuilding process, and result in numerous disease symptoms, such as bad breath, body odour, pale skin and tiredness. For eg, you must have noticed that a small baby smells lovely. The smell continues as long as the baby is breast fed. On the other hand, a baby fed on milk formula doesnot smells so lovely. When the baby starts eating cooked food, the body odour starts changing and the urine and stool start giving off a bad odour. Similarly carnivorous animals like tigers and leopards have pungent odour, as opposed to the herbivorous animals like cows and buffalo.

Excretory System

Precautions that needs to be taken care before taking Cleansing therapy:

When considering cleansing therapy, it's important to approach it with caution and take certain precautions to ensure your safety and well-being. Here are some precautions to keep in mind:

• Consult with a Healthcare Professional: Before embarking on any cleansing therapy, it's essential to consult with a qualified healthcare professional, such as a doctor, naturopath, or registered dietitian. They can assess your specific health needs, medical history, and provide guidance on whether the therapy is appropriate for you.

• Individualized Approach: Cleansing therapies should be tailored to your individual needs. Avoid following generic cleansing protocols or one-size-fits-all approaches. What works for one person may not be suitable for another. Seek personalized advice to ensure the therapy aligns with your health status and goals.

• Avoid Extreme or Prolonged Cleanses: Extreme fasting or prolonged cleansing programs can be risky and may result in nutrient deficiencies or imbalances. It's important to strike a balance and ensure that you are still receiving essential nutrients, hydration, and energy during the cleansing process.

• Hydration and Nutrient Intake: Adequate hydration is crucial during cleansing therapy. Ensure you drink plenty of water to support your body's natural detoxification processes. Additionally, focus on consuming nutrient-dense foods to provide your body with essential vitamins, minerals, and antioxidants.

• Monitor Your Body's Response: Pay attention to how your body responds to the cleansing therapy. If you experience any adverse effects, such as severe fatigue, dizziness, or gastrointestinal distress, discontinue the therapy and seek medical advice.

• Medication and Medical Conditions: If you are taking medication or have any underlying medical conditions, it's important to discuss cleansing therapy with your healthcare provider. Some medications or conditions may be contraindicated or require special considerations during cleansing therapy.

• Gradual Approach: If you decide to make dietary changes or incorporate cleansing practices, consider a gradual approach. Sudden and drastic changes can be challenging for the body to adapt to. Start with small modifications and allow your body time to adjust.

• Focus on Overall Lifestyle: Cleansing therapy should not be a one-time fix. To support long-term well-being, it's essential to focus on overall lifestyle choices, such as maintaining a balanced diet, regular physical activity, managing stress, and getting adequate sleep.

Cleansing Therapy offers quite a few advantages over conventional therapies. It makes use of natural and easily available ingredients that do not have any adverse side effects. It uses relatively inexpensive products and easy procedures.
