Detoxification Program
The naturopaths at the Darling Street health Centre are able to offer a variety of individual detoxification programs including a 2, 4 and 6 week program which is tailored to your specific needs. Maintenance and follow up digestive support programs are also available. The aim of the program is to reduce acidity in the body, allow body systems time to rest and regenerate, increase detoxification pathways through the liver and lymphatic systems and aid in fluid and weight loss.
A major source of toxicity for most people is the products and by-products of their digestive system. When food is not digested properly it becomes an energy source for bad bacteria and organisms. These then produce toxic chemicals which trigger an inflammatory response from the immune system. Often these toxins are “hidden” in fat tissue as a safety mechanism.
The other sources of toxicity are from the environment and include heavy metals, chemicals, hormones and bacteria. Poor lifestyle choices such as junk food, smoking, alcohol and drugs contribute as well.
Symptoms of toxicity include:
- Recurrent headaches
- Fatigue and lethargy
- Weight gain
- Sluggish bowels and bad breath
- Muscle aching and weariness
- Poor short term memory and concentration
- Depression, anxiety and mood swings
- Infertility
- Recurrent infections
A detoxification program is essential if you have experienced any of the following:
- IVF treatment
- Medication such as the oral contraceptive pill, anti inflammatories, pain killers, etc
- Chronic conditions such as Candida, irritable bowel syndrome, allergies etc
- Prolonged stress, fatigue and exhaustion
- Digestive disturbances
- Preconception health care
Or simply want enhanced health and vitality.
Our detox program places a strong emphasis on fresh, organic foods as well as an exercise regime and nutritional supplements which are used to help enhance liver detoxification pathways during your detox as well as provide the body with antioxidant support.
Our detox program will result in enhanced health, increased energy, fluid and weight loss, clear skin, bright eyes, shiny hair, stronger nails and a healthier digestive system. It will also help to correct any illnesses associated with poor liver function and toxicity such as hormonal imbalances, skin problems such as acne, eczema and psoriasis and allergies and hay fever.
