Cleansing Basics: How to Cleanse Safely
Your body is constantly being attacked by toxins, whether you know it
or not. Toxins come from many different forms and are known as
unwanted chemicals we are exposed to that get into our bodies through
food, water, and the environment we live in. Because of their
environment, even the most health conscious people may not be aware of
the amount of toxins in their body. Healthy foods can also be
deceptive. Believe it or not, even eating fruits and vegetables can
increase our toxic risk from pesticides and contaminants, depending on
how they were grown.
Our bodies do have the potential to cleanse themselves and work around
the clock to help get rid of the toxic overload. Toxins are cleansed
in our bodies through the gastrointestinal, urinary, respiratory and
lymphatic systems, and organs such as the liver. Our liver filters and
directs the toxins to be eliminated through the kidneys and intestinal
tract. Our body also can naturally release toxins through sweat,
mucous, and the skin.
However, with all the toxicity surrounding our lives, it is impossible
for our bodies to naturally get rid of all of the toxins stored in our
body. This is why it is even more important to have a daily cleansing
approach.
Body cleansing has become recently popular in today's society. People
are concerned with how toxins can affect their body and have begun
exploring different ways to help release them, including extreme body
cleansing that is usually performed periodically 1-4 times throughout
the year.
Most people are not aware that extreme and aggressive cleansing on a
periodic basis can often cause more harm to the body than good because
they are voiding their body of proper nutrition during the process and
can cause many bad side effects such as loss of energy, poor mental
focus, digestive upset, and skin irritations. Most believe that these
symptoms are expected during a cleanse, but the reality is that there
are other (and more effective) ways of cleansing your body without all
of these side effects.
These negative effects generally indicate you have pushed your body
beyond its ability to properly support the cleansing activity. It can
also mean your body has exceeded its ability to manage toxic
elimination, which can in turn create new difficulties in your body.
Your intentions for your body may have been good, but you could
actually be causing it harm.*
So how should you go about cleansing your body? Are there better
options available to rid your body of toxins without doing the extreme
cleanses that can also have extreme side effects? According to an
article published in the spring issue of doTERRA Living Magazine, Dr.
David K. Hill suggests "consistent or daily activity and working
within the limits that your body can tolerate. A significant reduction
in toxic load and the physiological stress it induces is most easily
managed through consistent and meaningful daily support."
Cleansing is necessary to help rid the body of toxins and increase
overall health, but as Dr. Hill suggests, cleansing is more effective
when it is part of your daily maintenance and support.
* We do understand that periodic cleansing can be appropriate at times
for certain conditions, but should always be done under a physician's
care to make sure you are getting all the nutrients you need.
Ready for a biology lesson? It's actually pretty fascinating stuff and
is critical for you to fully understand the importance of cleansing
your body.
Everything you put into your mouth eventually ends up in your stomach,
which then goes to your small and then large intestines. Your stomach
contains acid that helps break down the food you eat and kills many of
the germs and pathogens you ingest, but not all.
Once the food passes through your stomach it enters the small
intestine, which is the primary area for digestion and nutrient
absorption. Now, because not all of the germs and pathogens are
destroyed in the stomach, they then have the ability to be absorbed
into your body though the small intestines, which can have the
potential to infect our body in the same way that nutrients are
absorbed.
Our body is prepared for this though. It knows that germs will be
absorbed through the small intestines, which is why it houses hundreds
of healthy bacteria species known as intestinal micro-flora. These
intestinal micro-flora colonize the surface of both the small and
large intestines. Even with trillions of healthy bacterium fighting
against the germs that our body has absorbed, these bacterium can be
harmed by everyday disrupters that can cause our body to be more
susceptible to becoming ill. Physical stress, exposure to chemicals
and toxins, improper nutrition, and poor nutrient density in our
foods can all contribute to reduce the amount of beneficial bacteria
in our digestive tract.
So how then can we support and increase the amount of healthy
bacteria in our bodies that kill harmful pathogens? By using
probiotics! A probiotic is medically defined as live microbial food
that alters intestinal flora and provides healthy benefits. Probiotics
help maintain the correct balance between the "good" bacteria and the
"bad" bacteria that is necessary for optimal health.
This is all very important for maintaining a healthy immune function
because the beneficial bacteria in our bodies do way more than just
fight pathogens. They also produce amino acids, vitamins, purify the
colon, and assist the body is basic metabolism.
Signs that your body has been compromised of microflora include
digestive discomfort, allergies, chronic intestinal maladies such as
inflammation, colitis, diarrhea, and urinary tract infections. Fatigue
and a lack of energy are also common side effects of poor intestinal
health.
This is where cleansing comes into action. It plays an important role
in getting rid of toxins, while also helping to maintain healthy
intestinal flora.
Remember the mention of the importance of probiotics earlier? Well,
probiotics are what maintain the necessary intestinal balance. We can
receive probiotics is several different forms. Most of you are
probably thinking of yogurt, which does contain probiotics; however,
only 1% of all probiotics we consume will actually become viable in
the intestinal tract (including yogurt). The main reason for this is
because our stomach acid destroys 99% of the probiotics before they
can be put to good use.
This has been a source of frustration for many years for those who
want to receive the healthy benefits of micro-flora (good bacteria)
consumption. doTERRA has addressed this problem through the creation
of the DigestZen line, specifically formulated to help correct
digestive imbalances. This post seeks to identify two products within
the line — GX Assist and PB Assist+.
GX Assist helps to cleanse your body, while PB Assist+ helps keep all
the healthy microflora flourish and function properly in your body.
GX Assist is a combination of essential oils (oregano, melaleuca,
lemon, lemongrass, peppermint, and thyme) and caprylic acids. Each of
these essential oils and the caprylic acid have been shown to improve
microbial balance.
GX Assist also helps to support a healthy digestive tract and gets
rid of anything that could eventually disrupt your digestive system
and was formulated to be used for 10 days as a preparatory cleansing
step before using PB Assist+.
PB Assist+ is a double-capsule delivery system with a time-release
inner capsule that protects the probiotic cultures from the harsh
environment of the stomach. When taken, it delivers the active
benefits of the cultures at a full strength within your small and
large intestines.
When our body's microflora is compromised, we become more prone to
infectious pathogens in the gut, which can cause our immune system to
not function properly.
PB Assist+ is a blend of six active strains of friendly probiotic
microorganisms that support healthy colonies of friendly microflora in
the gut. It also creates an unfavorable environment for unhealthy
bacteria, yeast, and other harmful microorganisms. This is what helps
to cleanse and flush the body of all the toxins and chemicals that
have been stored in your intestines.
GX Assist helps your digestive tract cleanse itself properly without
giving it a dramatic flush. If you do have a sensitive digestive
tract, start small (perhaps 1 capsule a day), and work up from there.
Use these capsules every month for optimal digestive health. During
the first 10 days of the month take 3 capsules per day of GX Assist
and follow by 5 days of taking 3 capsules of PB Assist+ per day. For
the last 15 days take 1 capsule of PB Assist+ per day.
Although it is best to keep your probiotic products out of the heat,
it is not necessary to refrigerate our probiotic supplements under
normal storage conditions. They are tested for shelf life and
stability and will retain their activity level when stored under
normal conditions. Dry probiotic cultures such as the ones used in our
PB Assist+ capsules are not activated until they are released in the
gut and exposed to moisture. Many of the liquid probiotic supplements
you purchase off the retail shelf are not as stable and have a short
lifespan and require refrigeration.
The spring 2012 issue of doTERRA Living Magazine featured this article
by Dr. David K. Hill, doTERRA's Chief Medical Officer, in which he
details 3 ways you can support natural daily cleansing in the body.
Here is a summary of those steps:
Step 1: Reduce Exposure
Complete elimination of toxins in the body is virtually impossible.
However, there are simple ways to reduce the everyday toxic load the
body is exposed to, beginning by taking a healthier approach to your
lifestyle and making choices that will decrease your exposure to
toxins.
One of these ways is simple enough, but can have a huge impact.
Replacing many household cleaners with natural essential oil cleaners
is a great first step to reducing your toxic load. Click here to view
our cleaning cabinet makeover for ideas. Anther way could be by eating
unprocessed food and natural products enhanced with essential oils
instead of eating the more traditional processed food options.
Step 2: Specific Daily Nutritional Support
Most do not realize the supporting role nutrients play in our
metabolic activity. Maintaining daily nutrition is not only essential
to our health, it also provides a gentle way to give core support to
the cleansing organs.
You can support your body with daily nutrition through antioxidants,
essential fatty acids, vitamins and minerals, enzymes, and probiotics.
Antioxidants prevent damage to our cells caused by oxidation and also
significantly decrease the damaging effects of free radicals on normal
physiological function. Everyday foods that are high in antioxidants
include berries, beans, fruits, nuts, grains, and yes, even dark
chocolate. Alpha CRS (found in the Lifelong Vitality pack) is a
concentrated formulation of powerful antioxidants needed to counteract
the harmful effect free radicals have on the body.
Essential fatty acids (commonly known as Omega 3 or 6) help maintain
your support tissue and the normal physiology of the body. When we
cleanse, our organs rely of essential fatty acids for additional
support and protection. Dr. Hill recommends xEO Mega to help us
receive the needed amount of fatty acids essential for our bodies.
(This product can be found in the Lifelong Vitality pack).
We all know that vitamins and minerals are nutrients our bodies need.
Vitamins assist enzymes in releasing energy needed for cleansing the
body from carbohydrates, fats, and proteins. They also help manage the
body's balance and make sure that each system in our body receives
what it needs in order to perform properly. Microplex VMz provides
bioavailable vitamins and minerals to our bodies that are often
deficient in our modern diets. (This product can be found in the
Lifelong Vitality pack).
Enzymes are also necessary for our body to function. Enzymes help
digest our food, provide metabolic activity, and help enhance vitamin
and mineral activity for direct support in cleansing the organs.
TerraZyme Digestive Enzyme Complex is an effective and complete
formulation of the needed enzymes to support healthy nutritional and
metabolic activity.
In our previous post we learned how probiotics help cleanse our bodies
and are key to having a healthy intestinal tract, that not only
improves immunity, but can also improve our access to nutrition. PB
Assist+ provides a unique active source of healthy flora for a healthy
intestinal tract.
Step 3: Focused Nutrition for Cleansing Organs
Aside from the core nutritional elements mentioned above, it is wise
to add additional ways to cleanse organs. Zendocrine does exactly
that. It targets and supports the body's major cleansing organs, and
depending on your individual needs, can be used for periodic or daily
use.
There are many benefits that can be received through proper daily
cleansing. Providing your body with all it needs nutritionally to
support this important function is essential to your health. Also, it
is important to know our body's limits and improving nutritional
support is something everyone should consider when cleansing. Daily
nutritional cleansing is the best approach for most people because it
is safe and effective without the challenges and unwanted side effects
associated with more aggressive cleansing methods.

I have eczema too. On my hands and this flare up has been for almost
2 years. My research tells me that I have a yeast overgrowth in my
body that is causing it. Maybe you have the same thing. If so, you
need to do a cleanse and get rid of the overgrowth. For me, I am
starting with a sugar detox next weekend and then changing my diet to
help heal myself. I hope you find something that you can do.
