The body has four primary paths of elimination: the lungs, the urinary system, the skin and the colon. When toxins cannot be eliminated they are assimilated into the body and stored in fat cells and the lymphatic system. A build up of toxins leads to poor health, sickness, and disease. For optimum health, it is essential to keep the body’s paths of elimination open so that toxins can be eliminated easily and efficiently.
The lungs are primarily responsible for the elimination carbon monoxide, air pollutants, cigarette smoke and all other airborne toxins. Great ways to keep the lungs healthy are by limiting toxic exposure, deep breathing exercises, meditation, yoga, and all forms of aerobic exercise.
The urinary system includes the kidneys and the bladder. The kidneys extract the toxic waste of protein metabolism as well as toxins and waste from the blood and lymphatic systems. The bladder’s main function is to store and release liquid waste from the body once it is processed through the kidneys. Drinking plenty of pure water, limiting animal protein, balancing the body’s pH, and balancing the body’s electrolytes best improve kidney and bladder health. There are several good kidney/bladder cleanses available, both herbal and nutritional fasts.
The skin is the body’s largest eliminatory organ. The skin is the least appreciated path of elimination. Common forms of toxic elimination through the skin include sweating, acne, rashes, eczema, and psoriasis. Healthy skin is best accomplished by a healthy diet and plenty of pure water. Regular exercise and infrared saunas are also very effective at flushing skin toxins and clearing that path of elimination.
The colon is the path of elimination for all solid waste in the body. It is the most important as the largest volume of waste is removed through healthy bowel function. Again, a healthy diet and plenty of water are the single most important factors in affecting bowel health. Herbal digestive stimulators, mineral therapies, fiber supplements and colonics are the best ways to improve digestive health.
The body is a very complex and interdependent system. Improving any path of elimination will improve all systems and organs. The single most effective way to remove toxins and decrease the overall toxic load of the body is through colon hydrotherapy. Because of the volume of waste that is removed, all other systems respond very quickly to colonics. Colon hydrotherapy obviously improves digestion and colon function, but it also improves lung toxicity and bad breath, urinary tract problems, and skin problems.
