What Are Some Common Side Effects of Doing an Herbal Detox?

Some people will simply have no problems or reservations, while others will have some mild to moderate side effects.  These side effects could include things like headaches, joint pain, nausea, constipation, diarrhea, hunger, dehydration, dizziness and emotional swings as well.  While these are the most common, others can arise.  That’s why we would recommend getting some advice from a qualified health professional before embarking on this procedure alone.  It need not be your general medical practitioner, to be honest, they may not be that well informed about the various forms of detox diets anyway.  Many still find them to be without merit.  So, you can go that route if you wish, but you can also try one of your local alternative practitioners or search online.  Your local colon hydrotherapist will also be a good resource.  While their specialty (and probably advice) is regarding colonics, you may still be able to learn a lot regarding your herbal detox plan as well.  This can be something that you will learn more about as you see fit.

How To Choose A Detox Diet Plan

Detox teas like this one from Yogi Tea brand, are a great addition to your program. They can help support the other detoxification that you are doing.

Choosing the right plan or program to follow can be a difficult choice as well.  Just getting a book at the library or by going on line in any search engine looking for natural herbs to detox with is not a solid plan.  This is because if you search ‘detox your body’ or ‘how to detox’ let me tell you what you’ll find – a bunch of hype much of the time.  Also, you may find that there are simply a bunch of herbs listed, often in their ‘genus species’ names.  This makes it difficult to determine what to do next.  Do you just make them into some sort of herbal detox tea?  While these teas can be very beneficial, knowing what herbs to use and when is what you should look for in a site.  There may be links on a site that can help steer you more specifically in the direction you’re seeking.  Some people know what type of detox they are trying to do, but can’t remember the name.  Other people are just out here in cyberspace simply trying to make sense of it all.

First and foremost, you should know that when doing any type of detox (herbal or otherwise) you need to be as organic as possible.  Eating your vegetables, fruits and fibers from certified or local farmer’s market grown is the only way to go.  If you don’t go with organic food detox, then you may be putting back in exactly what you are trying to detoxify from in the first place.  For the beginning herbal detox enthusiast, keep your goal in mind and know that getting started is the hardest part.  Don’t concern yourself with doing it perfectly, just follow some of the main important steps – going organic is one of these keys.

How Do You Follow An Herbal Detox Plan?

You should know that an herbal detox involves more than just what you put into your body. It also involves exercise and activitites to purify your tissues and cells. Yoga is a great practice to engage in to help with this process.

This is by far the most important question to answer.  And, let’s start by examining some myths that exist when reading about when to detox your body.  If you’ve spent any time online trying to learn about this topic, then you have likely stumbled across stuff you never even thought of.  Some stuff from the bottom of the sea, or from some type of purified urine…blah blah blah.  Seriously, this stuff is out there.  The point is, if you can get through the hype you’ll be in a much better position to have a healthier, safer and natural detox.

OK.  An herbal detox refers to the fact that you will be using substances that have been grown (hopefully organically) and evidenced through any number of alternative, natural medicine practices or Chinese medicine to help you detox your body.  Long definition.  The quick and dirty of it is that it is a natural way to detox and does not involve any type of chelating agents and other pharmacological agents.  Chelating agents are typically delivered as an IV and used to eliminate heavy metals from the body.  They can also be delivered as suppositories and those may be sold through many alternative medical practitioner’s offices.   If you do decide to go the herbal detoxification route, you should research what components will make up your plan.  Some herbs and plans, even though they are completely natural substances, can still be very potent – even dangerous if you are not cautious.    If you decide to do a fast as part of your herbal detox plan, keep in mind you’ll need to be drinking plenty of water.  You may also have specific juices depending on your program.  Detoxing the body is serious business, you should not take it lightly.
