Foreign Perspectives

One of the catchwords of modern times is ‘detox’ and no doubt everyone knows someone who has gone on a detox at some stage. It’s the new way of treating the body and health from the inside out and of course in many ways it makes perfect sense to do this. I guess it is because of our lifestyles that we feel the need to detox now and again to restore our body’s ‘balance’.

There are many ways of detoxing the body; fasting, just drinking fruit or vegetable juices for 48 hours and the increasingly popular method called the colon cleanse. I have heard it said, though I have not tried this myself, that this method is excellent for flushing toxins out of the system and assisting in restoring regularity - people say it also gives them energy and renewed vigour. I can see the point; having a sluggish digestive and elimination system certainly would leave one feeling sluggish and off-colour on the outside.

Of course, before doing such a thing at home I would consult a doctor or health practitioner - there are also clinics that specialise in this as well.
