You change the oils and filters in your car, you wash the dishes and scrub the bathroom sink. You take a shower and you make sure to clean between your fingers. But how often do you cleanse your body from the inside?
The body becomes a storage site for chemicals as it is exposed to toxins in our environment, from cigarette smoke and traffic emissions to food pesticides and chemicals in personal care products. The accumulation of these harmful substances takes its toll on our health and vitality, and eventually leads to a host of problems; but with some warning signs. Symptoms that may indicate your body needs a detox include lethargy, headaches, poor concentration, fatigue, infertility, constipation, skin rashes, eczema, allergies, depression, weight gain, muscle aches, and PMS, along with others.
So what exactly is a "detox"?
Detoxification is the process of purifying the body of compounds that have a detrimental effect on cell functions or structures. When one starts the process of detoxification, the body begins to discharge excesses that have been carried for years. According to ancient healing traditions, spring is recognized as the prime season for cleansing the body because the rhythms of the body coincide with the rhythms of the earth. The traditional Chinese medical model tells us that the body changes in response to the seasons of the year, just like every other living thing in the environment. Spring, for instance, is the time for purifying the liver, which in modern physiology is the main organ that houses toxins. Spring is also seen as a time of birth, rejuvenation, and purification. Intuitively this makes sense since spring follows winter, which is a time of storing away, preserving, and conservation. It is no wonder so many people feel dragged down by extra pounds they have packed away during a long cold winter season.

Another reason spring is such an ideal time for cleansing is because detoxification procedures generally have a cooling effect on the body. This change in body temperature can be balanced by the emerging warmer climate, but would otherwise cause discomfort during the winter.
But despite the advantages of the spring, and the exception of winter in many cases , a detox can be done at any time of the year. Ideally, a complete body detox should be individually tailored for your specific illnesses and be supervised by a trained healthcare professional. This is especially important if you want to enhance the procedure with fasting, homeopathics, herbs, and supplements, or if you have never detoxified your body before. Although many of these substances have a relatively harmless and wide therapeutic range, not all do. You should also be aware that you may not feel well during the initial period of detoxification as your toxic load is being mobilized prior to being excreted. Symptoms may include more or less of the following: weakness, headaches, nausea or lightheadedness.
It is possible to detoxify in three days to a week under controlled conditions, although there are a few gentle daily practices that can be incorporated by all to assist the body in a long-term spring cleaning. These helpful tips will keep your systems clear and in good working order. Once they're all in good shape, you will feel energetic and your body will be resilient enough to overcome a multitude of other illnesses
