Your Path to Healthy Living and a Healthy Life

Detoxification Programs

One of the greatest challenges to ongoing health and wellness is toxicity. Our bodies are being exposed to more toxins or harmful chemicals than any other time in history. These chemicals can be found all around us and are even produced in our bodies by the organisms that live in us and through our normal metabolism of food.

When toxins build up in the body, they can lead to a whole host of symptoms such as fatigue, headaches, muscle pain, mood changes, rashes, hives, immune weakness, and others. Eventually if the body cannot deal with the toxic burden, condition like allergies, arthritis, autoimmune conditions, stones, neurological problems, recurrent infections, cardiovascular problems, and even cancer can develop.

To help patients maintain or regain health, naturopathic physicians use detoxification protocols to assist the body in the elimination of toxins. Different techniques are used to facilitate the various channels of detoxification and elimination: gall bladder, liver, kidneys, colon, skin, lungs and lymphatic system.

Some tools that a naturopathic physician will employ include dietary changes, exercise, herbal or homeopathic combinations, detox baths or sauna, breathing exercises and so on.

By bringing down the toxicity level in the body, the cells and tissues can repair and regain balance or health. Any chronic health problem can benefit from detoxification. Dr. Yim recommends that his patients follow a prescribed detoxification program once or twice a year.
