It's likely that you've heard that doing a body cleanse is a path to health and well-being. But what is body cleansing?
Body cleansing is just a means to detoxify the inside of your body. Too often, people don’t give much thought to what they’re eating or applying to their skin. But if you take close look, you’ll see all sorts of unnatural chemicals on the labels, and these are chemicals just aren't something your body is designed to process or knows what to do with. Because pesticides and insecticides don’t need to be labeled, unless you’re eating all organic foods, those posionous chemicals are in every bite too.
You're well aware that those substances don't belong inside of you - but how do you go about getting them outside of you? That’s where body cleansing comes in - and it often involves colon cleansing, liver cleansing, and even doing a gallbladder cleanse. Colon cleansing is done regularly with enemas, or even professional colonics. Liver cleansing is often done with coffee enemas. While coffee enemas can sound a bit strange, they work beautifully to detoxify your liver! Believe it or not, you can remove your gallstones, by drinking concoctions of Epsom salts, and lemon juice and olive oil. The complete recipe you can find by doing a quick search online.
Water fasting and juice fasting can be a part of cleansing too. Did you know that fasting is actually a way to detoxify the body? Juice fasting provides optimal nutrition, while you're detoxifying too.
Because the powers of coconut oil have become well known, coconut oil is regularly used in body cleansing too. Did you know coconut oil is a powerful antiviral and antibacterial agent? Coconut oil is so powerful that some cleanses are based around fasting on lemonade with coconut oil in it.
