As these toxins build up in oursystem, any number of health problems can occur, including weight gain,cellulite, headaches, dull skin, bloating, fatigue, lowered immunity, achesand pains, and a general lack of wellbeing. The process of detoxing helpsto remove these toxins from the body with the result that you lose weight,feel healthier and recover from all those other niggling health problems.There are many methods to help rid the body of toxins.

However, a detox diet should not be followed for morethat a few days as it deprives your body of many essential nutrients.Many beauty salons offer detox massages, which are specially designeddeep tissue massages incorporating specific lymphatic drainage strokesto stimulate and aid the drainage of toxins. Alternatively, body brushingcan also stimulate lymphatic drainage and help release toxins.Dry heat saunas are another simple and pleasant way to get a quick detoxfix by cleansing your skin and getting rid of environmental toxins.For a more extreme detox, treatments such as colonic irrigation areavailable, which cleanse your bowel of waste and toxins.
