Today’s Solutions: November 22, 2024

Your body is an incredible organism that has a natural built-in filtration system to help you get rid of toxins, the harmful substances that have a negative impact on your health. The primary organ that helps to process excess toxins is your liver. Your liver is a powerful built-in filter for toxins, but it’s worth noting that you are exposed to more toxins than any previous generation. To take a bit of the burden off your liver and help your body deal with toxins more effectively, you should try the following four gentle cleansing techniques this Spring. The first technique is known as dry skin brushing. This cleansing practice is best done before you get into the shower. To get started, you’ll need to buy a dry skin brush or glove (look in your local health food store or online). Starting at your feet, brush your skin in a circular motion up toward your heart. Work your way up your entire body. Then, using the same circular motion, brush both of your arms—starting from the hands. The practice only takes 3 minutes, and it will help activate your lymphatic system, which resides directly underneath your skin and helps your body remove toxins efficiently. The second thing you can do is breath work. Whatever breathwork technique you choose to do, it can help clear toxins from your lungs and oxygenate your cells. For the third technique, we recommend adding some green powders to your diet. Most green powders contain sea algae such as chlorella and spiraling, which have powerful antioxidants effects in the body. Add one scoop of green powder to a smoothie, and it’ll gently boost your energy levels. Fourth and final technique: hop into an infrared sauna. An infrared sauna helps to increase your blood circulation and stimulate your sweat glands to help get rid of toxins. Not to mention you’ll feel super relaxed afterward.
