It’s likely that you’ve heard that doing a body cleanse is a path to health and well-being. But what is body cleansing?

Body cleansing is just a means to detoxify the inside of your body. Often, people don’t give much consideration to the number and amounts chemicals they’re regularly consuming and applying on their skin. But if you start to take a closer look, you’ll likely see a whole lot of unnatural chemicals on the labels, and these chemicals are foreign to your body – your body doesn’t really know what to do with them. Because pesticides and insecticides don’t need to be labeled, unless you’re eating all organic foods, those posionous chemicals are in every bite too.

You’re well aware that those substances don’t belong inside of you – but how do you go about getting them outside of you? That’s where cleansing comes in; it regularly involves colon cleansing, liver cleansing, and even a gallbladder cleanse. Colon cleansing is done regularly with at home enemas, or professional colonics. Liver cleansing is often done with coffee enemas. While coffee enemas can sound a bit strange, they work beautifully to detoxify your liver! Believe it or not, you can remove your gallstones, by drinking concoctions of Epsom salts, and lemon juice and olive oil. The complete recipe you can find by doing a quick search online.

Water fasting and juice fasting can be a part of cleansing too. Did you know that fasting is actually a way to detoxify the body? Juice fasting provides hearty nutrition, while you’re detoxifying your body.

Because the benefits of coconut oil are becoming so well known, coconut oil is often used in body cleansing too. Did you even know coconut oil is an extraordinarily powerful natural antiviral and antibacterial? In fact, coconut oil is so powerful that some cleanses are based around fasting on lemonade with coconut oil in it.
