This harmony was traditionally achieved through diet, internal medicine, purging, vomiting, bleeding, cupping, and other methods. Many health practitioners believe that this is particularly important today, as our world is becoming increasingly polluted with toxins found in the environment and in the foods we eat. Toxins undermine our health. More specifically, a body overloaded with toxins can result in a number of symptoms. These include constipation, stomach bloat, poor digestion, gas, fatigue, weight gain, excessive mucus, poor concentration, headaches, poor skin, poor memory, depression, body odor, and bad breath.
Some health practitioners relate toxins to specific diseases.
Indeed, there is a new medical category, clinical ecology, which deals exclusively with how toxins in the environment affect our health. Cleansing The body does have a system in place for detoxifying these harmful toxins. The most important cleansing organ is the liver. When the body is doing its job, and is not overburdened with toxins, the blood carries toxins to the liver, which uses enzymes to detoxify the harmful substances. They are rendered harmless or converted into a water-soluble form that is then eliminated via the urine or feces.
