Detox Your Body : A Holistic Approach to Health with the Wisdom of Traditional Chinese Medicine

Imagine: you're not on a diet, but you're losing weight. You haven't had a facial treatment, but you're looking younger. You're not taking supplements, but you're feeling great. In fact, all of these things can actually happen. Undesirable physical and mental conditions such as obesity, aging, and fatigue are all due to poisons, known as toxins, in your body. Once these toxins are dispelled, health and beauty will be achieved naturally, from the inside out. Toxins come from external factors like air, water, and pathogens, and also from metabolic waste. In traditional Chinese medicine, any substance that cannot be discharged quickly and has adverse effects on the human body can be called a “poison.” Examples are blood stasis, phlegm, cold, indigestion, qi stagnation (obstruction of the circulation of vital energy) and heat. When they accumulate in the five zang organs (the heart, lung, liver, spleen, and kidneys) these toxins accelerate the aging process of these organs, causing the skin, muscles, bones, and nerves that are nourished by them to age at the same rate.Toxins can leave traces on the surface of your body, such as ridges on your nails, mood swings, and facial acne.
