How to Detox Your System Naturally

Detoxing your system removes impurities from your body and contributes to your overall good health. Over time, toxins can build up in your body, and without detoxifying and eliminating these toxins, you may deal with fatigue or aches and pains. There are several ways to cleanse your system, and while you can purchase products such as detox foot pads or cleansing systems, it's possible to detox naturally.

Instructions

• 1

  Use the sauna in your local gym. Harmful toxins can escape your body through your pores. If you have a gym or spa membership, take advantage of the facility's sauna. The steam promotes sweating and helps detox your body. Soaking in a hot bath can also draw out toxins from your body. If you like, add 2 cups of Epsom salts to bath water to promote relaxation.

• 2

  Release toxins with a massage. Massages are another natural method of eliminating toxins in your body. Schedule regular massages to stimulate the lymph nodes and increase blood flow throughout the body. Increased blood flow helps purify your bloodstream and reduces toxins.

• 3

  Take fiber or increase intake of fruits and vegetables. Being irregular or battling constipation increases the amount of toxins or waste in your body. Take a daily fiber supplement to help promote bowel regularity and cleanse your colon. Increase your intake of raw fruits and vegetables by consuming five servings of each a day.

• 4

  Drink up. Water flushes your entire body and helps remove toxins in your body. Drink at least eight glasses of water a day.

• 5

  Alter your diet. Certain beverages and foods increase the number of toxins in your body. Limit your intake of coffee, alcohol, saturated fats and refined sugars.

• 6

  Use natural or "green" products. Personal hygiene products and household chemicals can also release toxins into your environment. Use healthy alternatives such as natural or chemical-free products.
