Where are toxins coming from?
Toxins are all around us, in the containers that carry our food, in the carpet we walk on, in the food we eat and in the air we breathe. Read the National Geographics article entitled The Chemicals Within Us and find out why detoxification is so important.

"Fifty years after the introduction of toxic chemicals into our environment - chemicals originally intended to enhance our lifestyles - we are left to wonder if our lives are truly enhanced. Or are we actually polluting our reproductive health, as well as our children's health with these "life-enhancing" enviromental toxins?
The truth is that, today, more than 70,000 synthetic chemicals are used commercially and approximately a thousand more new chemicals are introduced into our environment each year. It's hard to know exactly how many of these chemicals are actually harmful enviromental toxins that may damage our reproductive health, as well as our general health and the health of our children. This is especially true when we consider the fact that only a handful of these potential enviromental toxins have been adequately tested to determine their effect on humans and other forms of life. "
From Tracee Cornforth - Your Guide to Women's Health.
Toxins are discharged from the body by the liver, kidneys, lymphatic system, colon, lungs and skin.
As more and more toxins accumulate in our system, they place severe stress on these organs of elimination. With continued accumulation, the liver, kidneys, and other organs begin to malfunction, causing a weakening of the immune system. The endocrine glands no longer secrete the proper amounts of hormones into the bloodstream - metabolism slows, producing a hospitable environment for illness.
The gradual accumulation of low levels of toxins cannot yet be measured by conventional analytical methods, so many doctors deny their existence. As instrumentation and measuring methods become more sophisticated, such toxic states will be recognized as dangerous.
Diet and DetoxYou can detoxify your body using different methods. Diets are often used for this purpose.
Body detox diets vary but typically involve eating or drinking nothing but raw, steamed or gently stir-fried vegetables and fruit, pulses, sprouted seeds, thin vegetable soups, red grapes, natural juices.
Detoxification involves a change in eating habits in an attempt to detoxify your body. These cleansing diets may last anything from a day to a week or even more, although they should not be continued for more than 2 or 3 weeks. Some cleansing diets focus on flushing toxins from the liver and other organs.
Skin brushingBefore you go to bed brush your skin make sure it's dry so brush before a bath. Skin brushing stimulates the lymphatic system and encourages the expulsion of toxins. (See picture on the right)
Now have a bath to which you have added two drops of rosemary oil. Gradually add cool water until, over a period of about half an hour, the water is quite cold. This further stimulates the lymph.
