Importance of Detoxification
- Necessary due to daily exposure to toxins
- Focus on the concept of a "toxic load"
- Toxins come from external sources, lifestyle habits, and natural body processes
Body's Natural Detoxification Systems
- Skin and mucous membranes as first barriers
- Lungs and digestive tracts filter and protect against toxins
- Organs involved: kidney, liver, lungs
Detox Analogy

- Traditional health practices (Ayurveda, Chinese medicine, etc.) emphasize detox
