If you are experiencing pain that is being caused by inflammation from sneaky toxins, it may be time to take a serious look at detoxifying your body. Practiced for centuries by cultures around the world — including Ayurvedic and Chinese medicine systems — detoxification is about rest and relaxation, then cleansing and nourishing the body from the inside out. To help protect you from disease and to renew your health, or if you are battling a serious health challenge, there are various methods to remove and eliminate toxins including diet, supplements, electrotherapy, mindfulness, and more. Each individual is unique and researching what works for you along with guidance from your health/wellness team is essential. Once your body releases and is free from toxins, and you’ve fed your body with healthy nutrients that are properly absorbed, you will feel a big difference and continue to improve 1% daily to create and maintain optimum health.
Basically, detoxification means cleansing the blood. This is done by removing impurities from the blood in the liver, where toxins are processed for elimination. The body has a sophisticated way of eliminating toxins through the liver, kidneys, intestines, lungs, lymphatic system, and skin during a body detox. However, when any or all of these systems are compromised or out of balance, impurities aren't properly filtered and the body can become more inflamed and could be adversely affected. By bringing these body systems back to homeostasis, they can more effectively eliminate toxins and unwanted substances. The key is to optimize your body’s natural detoxification system so the body can do what it’s naturally designed to do and return to a body that is free from pain, functions well to prevent disease and just has more energy and vitality.
"Detoxification works because it addresses the needs of individual cells, the smallest units of human life," says Peter Bennett, N.D., co-author of 7-Day Detox Miracle with Stephen Barrie, N.D., and Sara Faye.
Bennett suggests that everyone should detox at least once a year. However, Bennett cautions against detoxing for nursing mothers, or children. Consult your healthcare practitioner if you have questions about whether detoxing is right for you.
Today, with more toxins in the environment than ever, "it's critical to detox," says Linda Page, N.D., Ph.D., the author of Detoxification: Programs to Cleanse, Purify and Renew. Page recommends detoxing for symptoms such as:
When starting a body detox, you'll first need to lighten up your toxin load as best as you can. Eliminate alcohol, coffee, cigarettes, refined sugars, and saturated fats, all of which act as toxins in the body and are obstacles to your healing process. Also, minimize use of chemical-based household cleaners and personal health care products (cleansers, shampoos, deodorants, and toothpastes), and substitute natural alternatives.
Another hindrance to good health is stress, which triggers your body to release stress hormones into your system. While these hormones can provide the "adrenaline rush" to win a race or meet a deadline, in large amounts they create toxins and slow down detoxification enzymes in the liver.

This blend promotes longevity and prevents premature aging. This blend also stimulates the endocrine system for greater energy flow to the right hemisphere of the brain, activating creativity, motivation and focus. This can help strengthen commitment to purpose, desire, and intentions until you realize your goals.
Clove, Lemon, Cinnamon Bark, Eucalyptus Radiata, Rosemary - This blend of oils, called Thieves, is a workhorse for colds and flus. It is the most amazing blend of highly antiviral, antiseptic, antibacterial and anti-infectious essential oils. Rub directly on your chest, neck, throat, behind your ears to combat seasonal illness and unknown flus.

These oils may also be beneficial in helping to overcome fatigue and exhaustion after illness. This therapeutic mix of oils can be placed on your spine and rubbed on your back with carrier oil to assist the body’s ability to fight infection and draw out impurities.
One of the most common & effective ways to use oils is topically on your feet, spine, chest and stomach. Incorporating essential oils into your daily routine is a simple action with lots of impact on your overall wellness. Make sure to use a carrier oil of fractionated coconut oil, almond oil or jojoba to dilute strong oils to prevent skin sensitivities.
It absolutely does matter where you get your oils, so don’t just pick them up at any grocery store. Lots of oils will expire and are loaded with impure fillers even though the oil may smell good, so make sure you’re using high quality therapeutic grade essential oils for the very best health results.
Every CuraWaves customer is encouraged to use essential oils as a natural complement to Wave Therapy. We recommend brands that have experience farming & distilling and products that carry properties from Mother Nature - not made in a lab.
