🧠 FIRST: THE TRUTH ABOUT DETOX
Your body already has built-in detox organs:
• Liver
• Kidneys
• Lungs
• Skin
• Intestines
👉 No drink, tea, salt water, or herb can replace them.
What you can do at home is SUPPORT your body’s natural detox — not force it.
✅ SAFE HOME DETOX REMEDIES (SUPPORTIVE, NOT HARMFUL)
💧 1. WATER (Most powerful detox tool)
• 2–3 liters daily
• Helps kidneys flush waste
• Improves skin, digestion, and energy
📝 Tip: Add lemon slices, not concentrated lemon juice.
🍋 2. Warm Lemon Water (Morning)
• Supports digestion
• Stimulates liver enzymes
• Reduces bloating
⚠️ Not for ulcer patients in excess.
🥬 3. High-Fiber Foods
Fiber helps your intestines remove waste.
• Fruits (pawpaw, apple, watermelon)
• Vegetables (ugwu, spinach, cabbage)
• Whole grains
👉 No fiber = toxins stay longer in the gut.
🍵 4. Herbal Teas (Mild & Safe)
• Ginger tea
• Green tea
• Hibiscus (zobo, unsweetened)
⚠️ Avoid unknown herbal mixtures.
💤 5. Adequate Sleep
• Detox hormones work best during sleep
• Poor sleep = poor liver function
Aim for 7–9 hours.
🏃🏽♀️ 6. Gentle Exercise
• Sweating helps remove waste
• Improves circulation
Even 30 minutes walk daily helps.
