What is detoxification?

Detoxification is the process of clearing toxins from the body or neutralizing or transforming them, and clearing excess mucus and congestion. 

The liver removes harmful chemicals, toxins and by-products of metabolism from the bloodstream.

This process is always happening automatically, just as we breathe, and our hearts beat.

When the liver is unable to deal with an excess amount of circulating toxins they can -

• continue to move through the body
• cause disruption and damage
• are eventually stored mainly in the fat cells of our organs and tissues
• often being stored for years or decades.

Toxins are stored in our body fat.  Toxins cause our livers to become sluggish and not function correctly.  This causes our organs to stop metabolizing fat effectively and we gain weight.  The more toxins we accumulate, the more weight we gain.  The more we weigh the more toxins we can then store.
