An Herbal detox is a gentle natural way to stimulate the organs of detoxification.
Detoxification comes in many forms and refers to many different programs that cleanse the body of toxins.
Today, our environment is toxic and the foods we eat, even the air we breathe and the water we drink is laden with chemicals foreign to our system. Therefore, everyone is undergoing some type of detoxification to maintain life and health. Although basic detoxification begins with diet, Herbal detox programs may include nutritional fortification for the liver, lungs, kidneys, bowels and blood.
Herbal detox is receiving a lot of attention these days as scientific research discovers the alarming facts that we all carry a burden of chemicals in our bodies that contribute to many health conditions.
Our bodies have a natural detox cycle that goes on every day but we are bombarded with so many toxic chemicals that often the detox pathways become overloaded contributing to many chronic symptoms and degenerative disease.
Herbal detox supplements are usually supplied as capsules, tablets, powders, liquids or teas. Liquid extracts are often tinctures that contain a small amount of alcohol. These are often considered superior to herbal capsules as they do not have to be digested so can be quickly absorbed into the body.
Herbal detox teas are very gentle in their action and are essentially body balancers. They are easily absorbed and have mild cleansing qualities. They can provide energy when taken as part of a liquid detox fast.

An Herbal detox will be more effective when eating an organic natural foods diet, drinking sufficient amounts of pure water, and getting regular exercise.
