🍂Detox seems to be a hot topic right now and I am hearing more and more people asking about Ivermectin. Is it safe? There are coffee enema's, fasting with only water and other sometimes extreme methods which can be done to the extreme. My recommendation is not to say yes or no but to look to your body and check with a medical professional to make sure you are not doing more harm then good. There are many way's to gently support the body while detoxing.
💥 Detox is about our ability to manage the toxins at a cellular level. If people do too much detoxification for too long they actually become more sensitive to the toxins. They overstimulate the channels of elimination too much and loose their ability to detoxify effectively.
There are definitely risks involved with unsafe detox practices.
Here are a few: 👇
🌟 Damage to the gall bladder
🌟 Depletion
🌟 Weakened Immune System
🌟 Lose ability to detoxify effectively
🌟 Loss of muscle mass
🌟 Excessive weight loss
🌟 Dehydration
🌟 Disrupts gut microbiome
🌟 Psychological harm (mental or emotional fixation)
🌹There are principles of how to detox safely. We must learn the constitutional strength of the person. We want to nourish the weak and cleanse the strong. Be sure the person can tolerate some cleansing. Our immune system has to be able to tolerate the detox, we don't want to flush away the gut microbiome. We want to build it up!
In order to move microplastics out of our body we need to have strong microbiome in the gut! We want to reduce inflammation and gently support the channels of elimination, not wear them out.
There are some things we cannot get out of the body, so we need a strong internal terrain, immune system.
💥 Fun Fact!: Lymphatic drainage massage is a great way to help the system naturally detox. That is what the lymph system is designed to do.
The Lymphatic system is sometimes called the body's clean up crew and defence army! As Lymph travels through the body, harmful germs and bacteria are filtered out. White blood cells like T-cells and B-cells then attack and destroy these invaders.
🌹 If someone has a compromised immune system due to cancer treatment, chemotherapy, or lymphadema this system will not be working optimally. Just like any system in the body, the lymphatic system can face problems. Swollen lymph nodes are common when the body is fighting an infection. Lymphedema is when the lymph vessels become blocked, causing swelling in the arms and legs. Certain infections and cancers can also affect the lymphatic system. Doctors often check the lymph nodes to see if the immune system is working properly.
🤢The lymphatic system has one way valves and has no problem draining down but sometimes bringing the fluid back up the body is impeded when there is injury, swelling, or otherwise debris which creates a stuckness in the body. 💪The muscles help to move this fluid back up into the main lymphatic duct but if there is too much inflammation or the system is weak it cannot do it's job.
Lymph drainage is a gentle technique and does not involve aggressive massage so if you are looking to release knots in the muscles, this is not the treatment you want, but if you are looking to support detox in your body, I highly suggest it.
