Detoxification
Basically, detoxification is the removal of toxic substances from the body.
It 'one of the main functions of the liver, lower gastrointestinal tract and kidneys, but can also be produced artificially through various techniques.
The detoxification can be a form of:
Drug rehabilitation: a treatment against alcoholism or other forms of addiction (drugs, drugs)
Diet: the body accumulates toxins that must be eliminated, especially after unhealthy periods such as eating during the holidays. The toxins in this case are the toxic substances resulting from food, from the surrounding environment or produced by the body itself
Alternative Medicine
Process by which substances are made less toxic. Metabolism in this process usually involves the oxidation, conjugation and efflux of molecules from cells or tissues
The detoxification can be done in different ways and should be related to various programs to eliminate toxins from the body. Today, the environment around us and the food we eat, the air we breathe and the water we drink are carriers of chemical elements outside the body.
Detoxification for the body is therefore a process of cleansing of the intestine, kidney, lung, liver and blood, ie the bodies involved in removing the chemicals and toxins from the body.
Our body is designed to use natural substances (foods, herbs, phyto-chemical elements). Any substance acts as a stimulus to our immune system, which has the task of removing these substances. The task of the liver to reduce toxins into compounds that the body can move safely and eliminate through the kidneys (as urine), skin (as sweat), lungs (such as expiration), and the colon (as I did). The health and efficiency of these organs is essential to the health of our body.
There are many drug rehabilitation programs that can help our body to eliminate toxins. Besides these programs, detoxification, it is essential to drink plenty of water, taking nutrients (like vitamins, minerals, etc..), Physical activity, rest, spend a few hours outdoors.

The skin is one of the best bodies eliminating: the heavy metals are removed through the pores of the skin with sweat. The sweat glands of the skin as a whole may have the same detoxifying power of a kidney. The skin may be purified by:
sauna and hot tub (remove toxins from the skin and give vitality and energy)
avoid chemicals for skin (the chemical components can be absorbed by the skin and enter into service)
Wash daily with soap natural
not to wear synthetic fibers (which do not absorb the sweat and therefore toxins)

in digestion as they break down food, allowing the digestion and absorption
Intestinal cleansing

need of a diet rich in fiber
need for herbal remedies that stimulate the intestines, or have slightly laxative effects
