10 Green Detox Techniques

My family and I detox our bodies and follow a personal habitat detox checklist each week reaping great benefits such as staving off illness (the four of us have not had a cold since we began our detox program three years ago) and combating former, chronic seasonal allergies to name a few. Detoxification can be an essential component for not only your health but also the environment. Try these 10 green detox techniques to implement into your life and you just may be surprised when you breathe, see, smell and taste a little easier.

Fast for Life

Drink filtered water with fresh lemon juice all day, once per week. This gives your system a chance to rely on fat deposits for energy (yup you will lose weight) as well as take a break from continually digesting food resulting in a healthy internal shedding.

Reach for Natural Solutions

Some over-the-counter and prescribed medications can wreak havoc on your system as well as the environment (sewer residue has been found to hold enormous amounts of medication related waste). Research and test natural solutions such as herbs, homeopathy and acupuncture to allow your system to embrace its own healing powers. Always check with your doctor before doing so.

Detox Your Closet

Take dry cleaned clothes out of the plastic bags they come in to avoid airborne toxins.

Dry Brush Your Skin

Dry brushing your skin helps shed old skin cells opening up your pores for healthy breathing and sweating. Get a hard bristle skin brush or organic cotton exfoliating gloves to do the job.

Detox in the Shower

Various body cleaning products contain toxins that can permeate your skin and hair making their way into your lymphatic system and potentially poisoning you over time. Try N59 Hair and Body Shampoo Concentrate, Shadow Lake Pure Castile Soap and/or Un-Petroleum Jelly Moisturizer to get started.

Quite Your Vice

Sure, an occasional glass of wine or beer can be pleasurable but take a look at your weekly alcohol intake. If it exceeds one or two times per week you could be taxing your system for a future fall.

Detox Your Vehicle

Don’t let an oil change go too long. Your vehicle will gunk up and spit out way more toxins without scheduled oil changes.

Heavy Metal Detox

Each day we ingest many food and airborne heavy metals that embed themselves in our system to eventually accumulate and cause health issues. Limit fish consumption, replace mercury fillings and eat more cilantro to rid yourself of heavy metal buildup.

Detox Your Mind

Be quiet. Find a way to meditate and clear your mind each day. Whether it is yoga, religion or one of many meditation techniques detoxing your mind is essential.

Go Alkaline

Part of a healthy detox is choosing more alkaline foods to counteract a highly acidic diet which makes your system a breeding ground for bacteria and viruses. Eat more fruits, vegetables, herbs, coconut and leafy greens. Avoid caffeine, meat, cheese and processed foods.

Get your life on track with these 10 green detox techniques to feel better and live better.
