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.

Are You Looking To Cleanse And Detox Your Body?

This is an illustration of just your large intestine. Your colon has many functions including absorption and removal of waste.

You’re definitely not alone.  And, good for you!  Many people are coming to the realization that a lifetime of heavy duty agriculturally sprayed vegetables, pre-ripe picked fruits, and antibiotic and hormone injected animals can take a toll on one’s accumulation of these toxic residues in the body tissues.  Now, of course you’ll never hear the government bodies, like the FDA, say anything negative about these products.  Nope.  In fact, there has never been any studies that actually prove any real causal link between a program that aims at detoxing the body and overall health increases.  Well, with respect to overall health and well being.  I don’t think it could  be argued by any court or government agency that heavy metals and specific pesticides don’t cause harm – because they do, and that HAS been in court.  People have died or had serious developmental and neurological manifestations of poisoning from such substances.  There is no argument there.  What we’re discussing is the more subtle form of body cleanse, the one you do to maintain colon health and your energy levels and all that.  This is where we can’t say (legally) that there is any proof that it helps.

Anyone That Has Done Any Type of Colon Cleansing Knows This

The huge percentage of people that do a natural colon cleanse, even for the first time,  report feeling lighter (not just because of what you’re thinking), more comfortable, less bloated, often more energetic and relaxed.  Sure, part of that is because it is comfortable having all that matter removed from your lower colon, but there is more.  This is just what many feel after their first, of typically several colonics.  This is also just one type of detox for your body.  There are a variety of ways that will be explored on this site.  Sure, you could get a prescription or even over-the-counter medications for constipation, but not many people are comfortable with that approach.

For others, they simply find that more natural means are more helpful for them.  Most notably through using natural and organic foods and diet as a way of cleansing or detoxing.  By the way, sometimes the terms detox and cleanse can be used interchangably – don’t let this throw you.  The most important thing to focus on is your ultimate goal.  Why are you wanting to detox your body in the first place?  And why are you searching for an herbal detox program or style to do it?  Well, the answers are obvious here, but let’s make it abundantly clear.  If you are eating foods, breathing air and living life in anywhere but a remote tropical paradise, then you are likely being exposed to a variety of toxins daily.  And, the best way to eliminate these from your body is to use organic foods and a specific detox diet to get you there.
