Are you feeling tired, lethargic, and run down? Are you sick regularly or have a long standing illness? Frequently, these are warning signs of a toxic body, and is your body’s way of alerting you that it’s time to do a deep body cleanse.

But what is body cleansing? Body cleansing is just a method to detoxify your body internally. Too often, people don’t think about what they’re eating or applying to their skin. But when you look at the labels, you’ll often see a large number of man-made chemicals, and your body isn’t designed to process or consume these chemicals. Because pesticides and insecticides don’t need to be labeled, unless you’re eating all organic foods, those chemicals are in every bite too.

You know those substances don’t belong inside you - but how do you go about getting them out of your body? That’s where deep cleansing comes in, and it often involves colon cleansing, liver cleansing, and even a gallbladder cleanse. Colon cleansing is done with enemas, or professional colonics. Liver cleansing is commonly done with coffee enemas. While coffee enemas sound a bit strange, they work like a charm! And believe it or not, you can remove your gallstones, by drinking concoctions of Epsom salts, and lemon juice and olive oil. You can find the complete recipe by doing a Google search.

Juice and water fasting can be part of a cleanse as well. Did you know that fasting is a powerful method of detoxification? Juice fasting feeds your body superior nutrition, while allowing your body to detoxify too.

Because the powerful healing powers of coconut oil are becoming well known, coconut oil is often used in body cleansing too. Did you know coconut oil is a powerful natural antiviral and antibacterial agent? Coconut oil is so powerful that some cleanses are based entirely around fasting on lemonade with coconut oil in it.
