Homoeopathic Approach
The Homeopathic approach believes that the vital force can be disturbed by stress, chronic illness, environmental toxins, poor diet or consumption of chemicals in food or drugs.
Homeopathic remedies reinforce the body’s natural ability to remove toxins and waste by-products, without harmful side effects.
The great thing about Homeopathic support in a detox program is that it not only aids in releasing the toxins into the blood stream thus removing blockage, but also enables the vital force to prepare the body for a return to health. On top of this it allows for the rebuilding and strengthening of the immune system and can be incorporated with other regimens without any conflict.
The most important steps in the homeopathic detox process are as follows:
Hydrate yourself well — drink at least 2-3 litre of filtered water every day during the detox process
Sleep well, perform moderate exercises and minimize stress — they all help in detox
— along with homeopathic remedies few other things like sauna, skin cleansing, and nutritional supplements, such as vitamin C and Zinc facilitates good results.
Remedy Selection for DETOX
How the remedies are selected for detoxing can be broadly divided into constitutional and organ specific.
In constitutional prescribing the whole body is considered, and remedy is selected after complete case taking. This constitutional remedy alone may be all that is required to bring about the body’s innate ability to heal, repair, cleanse and restore. Other times there may be cause to further prescribe specific remedies to target individual organs or supporting systems.
Most professional homeopathy doctor would recommend the kidneys and the liver as a good place to start a detox plan because the two are the key organs that ‘filter’ blood. The liver is the organ where toxins are converted to non-toxic soluble substances and excreted.
