Spring Cleansing is Just Around the Corner.
Spring Cleansing is Just Around the Corner.
We live in an environment that has a high level of toxins in the form of air pollution, water pollution, emotional pollution, etc. Detoxification is an important step you can take to rid your body of the environmental build-up that can affect your health down the road. The body experiences seasonal changes similiar to the weather. In the fall when daylight hours are becoming less, our bodies start to slow down and gather for the winter hibernation months. We will also eat more, sleep more and our energy level will slow down. Then comes Spring!!! This is when the days become longer and our body wants to expel the excess hibernation storage. Our energy level will increase with the amount of daylight hours and our body gets ready to expell the excess winter storage. That is why Spring is the best season to detoxify. Our body is already in elimination mode. Detoxification in the Spring goes along with our natural flow. If we don't eliminate the excess heat before the summer, then we will be more prone to heat diseases,like constipation, weight gain, depression, etc. Detoxification should not be a torture test for you. It should be part of a regular health program, just like regular dental cleanings. There are many programs that are very simple and fit into any lifestyle. A good detoxification program will enhance your own ability to clear toxins from your system, and not put your body into deficiency. The detoxification process should give you more energy, not leave you feeling depleted. Your body detoxifies naturally with the right tools. If you feel that you are over-burdened with toxins, such as mercury, candida, parasites, etc., find out for sure. Then find out why your body became a good environment for the toxin. Why wasn't the mercury cleared, why was the candida allowed to grow. Could it be diet, other toxins, poor immune system, or are the organs of detoxification over burdened? Over the years, I've seen many people detoxify themselves into total body deficiency. If you think you are burdened with toxins, find out what, and then find out why. Spring Cleansing should be part of everyone's health care program. Be gentle. Thirty days of gentle cleansing can clear out one year of toxic activity. Make sure you wait until Spring, the winter is for hibernation. Dr. Terri Evans, DOM, AP Doctor of Oriental Medicine 239-430-6800
