The kidneys are one of the four organs in our body responsible for eliminating waste products and built up toxins.
When kidney stones, heavy metal build up, and solvents get into our bodies they compromise our kidneys. As do things like pesticides and aflatoxins.
One of the most beneficial things we can do to prevent renal failure is a thorough body cleanse. Symptoms of kidney problems include abdominal pain, appetite loss, back pain, chills, fever, bloating, nausea, urinary urgency and vomiting.
The cleansing of our kidneys is only one of the primary reasons we need to take detoxification seriously. Toxins are everywhere. The food we eat, the products we clean ourselves with, as well as the air we breathe all contribute to the build up of toxins in our bodies.
Without effectively eliminating those toxins from our organs, they will eventually cause havoc and we will be led down the path of sickness and disease. In a society that relies heavily on chemically laden prescription drugs, psychotherapy and surgical procedures to heal the sick, it is more than time to put matters into your own hands.
Our society has become very curious about detoxification. In fact, nowadays there are so many products trying to get your attention, that it can be very challenging and overwhelming to know just what is best.
If you search for detoxification online today, you will find everything from detox diet plans and fasting to high priced spa treatments, herbal cleansing pills and patches.
Far Eastern cultures have been using alternative treatments for thousands of years and still do so today. Even the most technically advanced countries such as China and Japan, appreciate the effectiveness and simplicity of natural medicine.
So why not try a form of therapy that is effective, yet has no side affects? However, with so many products on the market begging for a sale, where do you begin?
Maybe it is time to introduce you to reflexology. Reflexology is the practice of strategically applying pressure to areas of the feet and hands as they correspond with specific body organs.
By stimulating nerves on specific areas of the feet and hands, we can stimulate blood flow and eliminate toxin buildup in the corresponding organs and systems of the body.
Reflexology is not only effective for self-healing, but has made its mark as an effective detoxification procedure as well. And maybe most importantly in todays society, it is free, depending on which therapy you use and very convenient.
