Detox

Detoxing can help you with a range of problems, such as headaches, poor concentration, joint problems, hormonal problems, poor weight control, insomnia, poor skin . . .

Herbalists approach to detoxing includes Stimulating, Supporting and Strengthening the body's own detoxing mechanisms.  However, this will always be done after an in-depth consultation to explore your particular health issues.

The liver is often a good place to start as this plays a major role in storing and excreting toxins such as alcohol, drugs and caffeine.  However people often don't realise that the liver is involved in many other vital functions such as digestion, bowel regulation, hormone regulation, balancing blood sugar levels and fat digestion. 

Herbalists address liver health by stimulating the flow of bile and supporting the growth of new liver cells.  Herbs are also used to protect the liver.

However, nutritional support is also essential for good liver health.  The liver carries out detoxification via a number of different processes, and these processes use certain nutrients (such as sulphur and magnesium), as fuel.  If these nutrients are absent, your liver's ability to detox will be compromised.  Your personal nutritional needs will be assessed and you will be provided with information about the best nutrients for your personal needs.
