Your body absorbs nutrients and toxins every time you eat, drink, breathe, and come into contact with certain things. For example, you absorb sunlight to get the vitamin D that you need, and you breathe to get the oxygen that’s vital to life. Your skin, lungs, and digestive system are among the largest routes for eliminating toxins, too. The liver, kidneys, bladder, gall bladder, small intestine, and colon play important roles in eliminating toxins, as does your skin. Your lungs push toxins out when you exhale, and your skin eliminates toxins whenever you sweat. The more toxins you are exposed to, the greater your toxic load and the more you’ll notice side effects like the ones listed above. The good news is that giving your body a break by following a clean diet, using herbs to support your detox, and taking time out to rest can completely change the way you feel and look. You may have heard that detox comes with side effects, and this is definitely true. Depending on how toxic your system is, you may find yourself dealing with headaches, skin rashes, nausea, irritability, diarrhea, fatigue, and even difficulty sleeping as all the chemicals make their way out of your system.
