Holistic Cleansing for Health and Beauty

Holistic cleansing has many benefits. We all know that health is what attracts most people – but beauty? In this section we will explore how cleansing brings about both health and beauty for anyone who would like to try.

Beauty

When someone feels beautiful, others see him/her that way also! Like the beauty of a happy child. Their beauty flows out of them to make everyone around them smile. We all possess this type of beauty. But it's hard to feel beautiful when we're sick or sluggish.

Many health professionals agree that plaque can and does build up in the small intestine. When this happens, we cannot absorb all the nutrients we should. In addition, processed foods lack nutrition. This dificit of vitamins and minerals can leave our skin looking dull and aging quicker than we’d like to see. It may contribute to early hair and tooth loss. It can lead to obesity as the whole system becomes sluggish with the excess build-up. In turn we eliminate even less and the snowball effect has started.

Some in the medical profession say that the body can detox and cleanse itself. We all know this is true - that’s what our organs such as the liver, kidneys, skin, colon and small intestine do, among other things. However, these organs cannot perform their job when overburdened.

Imagine this; if you play in mud, you can wash your body. However, if a truck comes along and dumps 50 pounds or so of mud on you, you are knocked to the ground. You may even need someone else to dig you out from under it. But there is nothing wrong with your body - it works fine. It just needs help getting the excess burden off of it. So we help by doing a colon cleanse or body cleanse.

Holistic cleansing has long been associated with beauty. This is why you see the rise of health spas becoming more popular. Many of the treatments they offer are detoxing or cleansing in nature.



Massage therapy helps move toxins through the lymphatic system so they can leave. After a massage, your told to sit and relax a while so you don’t get up dizzy. This is due to the toxins moving through on their way out.

Body wraps are common in a spa. I believe they do help the body eliminate toxins through the skin. The seaweed wrap is particularly used for detoxing the skin.

Facials are a way of helping remove toxins from the facial skin, not to mention getting rid of the skin that has been damaged from free-radicals.

Endermologie is becoming more popular. This is a massage, far more powerful than Swedish or Deep Tissue, done with a machine. It is recognized by the FDA to help reduce the appearance of cellulite. It helps to mobilize toxins from the fatty tissue so the body can eliminate them. I know some have disputed this fact, but those who try it see that it works. I loved having it done and I got the added benefit when it relieved my back spasms I used to have!

Health

What is health? Many people think it is merely the absence of sickness. But I believe it’s far more than that.

Unfortunately, many of us think that having degenerative disease is normal as we get on in age. According to the health and human services it’s normal but not a necessity. In other words, it is only normal because of the Standard American Diet. Degenerative disease can be prevented with healthy habits, such as good nutrition.

Holistic Cleansing can be your key to health. You can clear out the old build-up that makes you feel weighed down and sluggish. Clearing out the old will help your body absorb more nutrition. When you can absorb more nutrients, your body can make more anti-bodies and more white bloods cells. You will have the strength to fight disease.

One of the first things I saw first hand while working in a health center, was how people reacted to a holistic cleanse. The nutritionist put everyone on different healing programs. She also had them do a holistic cleanse.

Some people couldn’t afford to do the whole program for 3 or 6 months, so they would opt to do only the cleanse part. These people would start feeling better within a month! The others on a program would continue to feel bad until they started the holistic cleanse. Then – same thing – they would feel better within a month!

I don’t think health or healing can happen if you don’t eliminate the build-up. Imagine all the toxins that must emanate from this over the years!

A holistic cleanse is the key to excellent health. You may experience a healing crisis, and if you do at least you know it’s working. There are ways to deal with that. See my page about the healing crisis.

I see a lot of “research” and hear opinions both this way and that. The biggest critics of a holistic cleanse are always the ones who haven’t done it. The people that do a holistic cleanse, and actually stick with it, are always the biggest fans. Not because they like to choke down psyllium or take a bunch of capsules or restrict their eating for a while, but because something great does happen. Only when you try for yourself, will you know. You just have to arm yourself with knowledge. Knowledge is the Power you need to claim your excellent health.
