Detoxification

Start your road to wellness with a detox aimed at correcting gut dysfunction, removing environmental and cellular toxins and improving digestion and liver function. With the shared goal of increasing vitality, reducing pain and enhancing the skins appearance, this detox will be achieved through a series of naturopathy and acupuncture treatments.

This intensive program will be tailored to your individualised health concerns and goals. It begins with elimination of dysbiotic bacteria, parasites and fungi.  A range of herbs and supplements will support this phase as the function is not only to remove these microbes, but to prevent further adherence to the gut wall and support proper gastrointestinal health. As the supplements begin to rid the body of these organisms, nutrition and diet will play a key role by decreasing the toxic burden on the body and eliminating the foods that contribute to the formation of bad bacteria in the body. During this stage acupuncture is very important as it aids in the detoxification process without the use of external chemicals. Ones diet and lifestyle changes in this early stage will often be the most difficult, however will be the most rewarding.

Once the harmful microbes and organisms are removed from the body, we begin to repair and correct the gastrointestinal organs and tissues. In this stage supplements support the binding of foreign chemicals, heavy metals, and other toxic metabolites for elimination. The integrity of the gut lining is repaired and the beneficial bacteria of the gut and the small intestine are replenished. The acid/alkaline balance of the body is restored and the intestinal environment shifts to now support the growth and regulation of correct gut flora and function. The acupuncture point stimulation encourages the body to use its own resources to eliminate harmful substances retained in the tissue. As your body rids itself of toxicity you will notice an increase in your energy levels as digestion becomes regulated, skin and sleeping patterns improve and aches and pains disappear.

The final stage is focused on the liver, gall bladder and kidneys. These are the body’s waste removal systems. They also regulate fluid metabolism and the binding of cellular waste for excretion. Optimal liver and kidney function supports ongoing detoxification so long term results can be achieved. In this stage detoxification is focused on and potent antioxidants are suggested to order to increase the release of stored toxins in the body.
