Detoxication for Better Health

By the Editor

Nowadays there are many ways that our body can be infected with poisonous substances; from the food that is filled with chemical compounds used to add more colors or flavors, from the air we breathe in, from the environment full of chemicals, etc. Therefore, these poisonous matters gradually accumulate in our body resulting in various illnesses whose causes do not come from germs. Such illnesses are, for example, diabetes, high blood pressure, high fat level in the blood vessels, allergies, restlessness, etc.

The principals of natural therapy have tried to teach means that can help you handle these accumulated substances called Detoxication. There are scores of them as follows;

1. Fasting for detoxication This is a natural approach to help your body get some rest and cure itself. An example can be seen in cats or dogs. When they are sick, they starve themselves and later they will be recovered.

The fasting are divided into 4 levels, which are a fasting for the whole day of only fruits, of merely fruit juices, of just water and of nothing at all.

Actually, there is the antioxidant system which comes from vegetables and fruits in our body. So during the fast, the body is given a rest of meat and fat. Instead, we receive vitamins from vegetables and fruits that can get rid of antioxidants. In other words, we eat vegetables and fruits in order to detoxicate poisonous substances

2. An enema with coffee If we talk about the organ systems in our body, the livers are what help eliminate poisonous substances. However, if we load them with excessive food consumption such as too much meat or fat in a lot of meals within a day, the livers cannot possibly detoxicate all of those poisons in time.

Thus during the rest, we should stimulate the livers by an enema with coffee for caffeine will be absorbed and will rouse them to wash out more poisons.

3. Qigong Normally, if you are a person who stays up and gets up late, it is advisable to try to change such habit. Try to go to bed early and get up untimely to practice Qigong. Qigong is an exercise that emphasizes on the longer inhalation and exhalation. It can help you divest of useless substances through breathing. It is also a great exercise that can give you a pretty good sweat.

4. To bury yourself under the sand or to mask yourself with mud It is a great way to exchange the minerals within our body with those within the sea resulting in regaining the body's mineral balance and the freshness and brightness of the skin.

5. Aerobic It is an exercise that can help get rid of calories, and also fat and sugar level in the blood vessels. Moreover, exercise can stimulate the body to produce endorphins which are believed to be substances that bring you happiness, and a good sleep.

6. Meditation This can give you a peaceful mind and also a better sleep.

Even though the detoxication methods mentioned above are quite valuable to one's health, there are also some precautions. Those who cannot practice such means are very old persons, children in their physical development, pregnant women and cancer patients. For elderly people, it is more appropriate to look after themselves by eating Thai food and concentrating on mostly vegetables and red unpolished rice.

For the enema with coffee, it is not advisable for children in their physical development, pregnant women and those who have recently had an intestine operation for less than one month.

Talking about all of the mentioned detoxication methods for those who have health problems (not including those 2 precautions above) and those who really want to cure themselves seriously and want to see obvious results, it will be a whole lot more worthwhile to complete all of them; fasting for d-toxication, an enema with coffee, exercises, meditation and Qigong. If you go to the sea, you might prefer burying yourself in the sand to just sitting and sleeping in the hotel.

I guarantee you that your health problems will gradually improve. You will eventually have good health and might also get your young face back.
