Detoxing Techniques with Homeopathy

When our body is exposed to foreign substances it can have long lasting affects both emotional and physical. Some of us are a lot more sensitive to toxins than others and we will all be affected in a different way.

Poisons are substances that are absorbed in sufficient quantities to harm us. Toxins, are biologically produced poisons that create an adverse reaction in our bodies as we try to eliminate them. Heavy metals, minerals and chemicals can also be found in our bodies in quantities that effect our health.

Environmental poisoning continues to affect much of our universe and we may be affected at any time. The food we eat, the houses we live in and the industry around us, all has an affect on our body. As our body is continuously exposed to ever increasing chemicals, our bodies are put under more and more strain to try to eliminate it all.

Symptoms

Environmental poisoning creates symptoms are many and varied here is just a few examples:

  • Obsessive compulsive behaviour
  • Anxiety
  • Palpitations
  • Recurring infections
  • ADHD
  • ADD
  • Autism
  • Chronic inflammatory diseases
  • Cancer
  • Depression
  • Asthma
  • Allergies

By creating a health history timeline, it may be possible to find out what the toxins were that caused the downward spiral of health.

Sometimes tests can highlight an overload in metals in the body or the symptoms can point towards other clues of cause.

With homeopathy and tautopathy (using the actual substance rather than similar substances) we can often use a detoxing programme to initiate a reboot of the self healing process, so the body can begin to clear the overload and learn how to function efficiently again.

Before we do this we have to ensure the body is draining correctly and efficiently and this is why it is important to seek the help of a professional when attempting a detoxing programme.

Environmental poisons include (but are not limited to):

  • molds
  • chemicals
  • fertilizers
  • heavy metals
  • fossil fuels
  • hormones
  • radiation
  • cleaning products
  • vehicle fumes
  • industry waste

There doesn’t seem to be a way to avoid harmful toxins which are in the food we eat, the air we breathe and the water we drink. Even if we become much more vigilant in our approach to consumables, we are still going to be exposed to certain chemicals in the air around us.

Detoxing programmes must be run alongside constitutional and organ support prescribing to ensure you are less susceptible to these toxins because, at the time of writing, I cannot see how you will be able to avoid coming into contact with these environmental hazards.

Of course, if we can pinpoint one or two toxins, it may be possible to move away from an offending house or area to which we are more susceptible.

If you believe you may have physical or emotional symptoms created by environmental toxins then you will want to know how a detoxing programme to help reduce the toxic overload can help you begin the journey to health.
