Introduction
From the initial concept, detox was used to refer to ridding the body of harmful substances that people had over time become addicted to. Such substances could include drugs, sugar, alcohol, or anything else that a person can become addicted to. More recently, however, the word detox has taken on a whole new meaning that adds a component of natural or herbal health methods. There are many toxins that our bodies absorb on a daily basis due to pollutants in the air, the food we feed our bodies, and even the very personal hygiene products that we use, and this can prevent our bodies from doing the tasks that it is meant to do.

What are the Benefits?
A detox is beneficial for a number of reasons. Detoxification of the body can help to replenish the body and renew the organs while also cleaning your system. A detox can help the bodys natural cleaning process through various different mechanisms.
Detox first and foremost allows the organs to rest, especially when you are on a fasting detox. Allowing organs such as the liver to rest is essential for allowing the liver to return to optimal functioning. When the liver is taxed and overburdened it will not work the way it should, and toxins will not be excreted. Detoxing will help to give each organ a rest and allow the smooth removal of toxins.
A detox can also promote elimination from the intestines, skin, and the kidneys. When you are detoxing you want elimination to happen. Elimination is how toxins are going to be removed from the body. A detox can also benefit the blood and circulatory system in the body. Circulation can improve and the blood will be cleansed. A detox will ensure that you are refueling your body with the proper nutrients it needs.
