Pressure points to flush toxins in traditional Chinese medicine(TCM)

An individual with recurring illnesses and chronic diseases may experience a build-up of toxins in the body. Their condition may also worsen if their diet consists of food that contains preservatives, which can hamper the normal functions of major organs in the body.

If these organs aren’t in peak condition, the aches and pains you may be feeling may also lower your immune system. You can detoxify by drinking lots of water and changing your diet, but a more effective way of detoxification is through acupressure points and reflexology.

Why do we detoxify?
Detoxification is necessary so the organs can function properly. Some reasons to detox include:

Boosting the immune system - Regularly detoxifying the major organs like the lungs and skin can improve the functions of the immune system. This makes it so that your body can fight off bacteria and viruses that cause colds and the flu. 

Enhance mental clarity - When your body is healthier, you will have more energy to spend on boosting your mental and emotional clarity. With a clearer mind, you can work better and faster.

Flushing out toxins - "Environmental pollution, pesticides, chemicals and waste" stored in the body can impede the immune system. A build-up of toxins can also lead to fatal diseases like cancer, joint pain, arthritis, etc., and these must be flushed from the body regularly to avoid this.

Preventing chronic diseases - A build-up of toxins in the body is the major cause of various types of cancers, heart disease and strokes, and other health concerns. Regular detoxification can reduce your risk for these chronic diseases.

Weight loss - High levels of toxins in the body hampers its ability to metabolize stored fat and balance blood glucose. This can cause a slower metabolism and weight gain along with chronic diseases like high blood pressure and diabetes.
