Are you having a hard time detoxifying? Why not make it less of a hassle by following our practical tips for how you can easily and quickly detoxify on an everyday basis. No need for a whole month of intensive cleansing. Just be kind to your body.

Rehydrate. Drink a warm glass of water with half a lemon squeezed into it. Believe it or not, your stomach absorbs more water if the water is warm compared to cold. Lemon offers your body the depleted electrolytes and aids in your body’s alkalinisation. Say goodbye to muscle cramps.
Smoothies are a great way to cleanse and replenish your body’s vital nutrients without adding too much effort into it. Try mixing superfood green powder and fresh raw leafy greens to your smoothie to make a “super smoothie”.
Do you cook? Well, you might want to try it (at least). Use a mixture of spices with proven cleansing and antioxidant properties like turmeric, ginger root, cayenne, coriander, and garlic. The cleansing properties of these common herbs and spices are well known and are ancient practices that date way back in history.
Digestive bitters like endive, rocket, and dandelion greens before meals tone the whole digestive tract, strengthening the digestive organs (stomach, liver, gallbladder, pancreas etc). They stimulate digestive processes which improves digestive function and aids in the removal of toxins from the body. Bitters are also thought to reduce inflammation in your body.
Put down that cup of coffee and try some herbal teas instead. Nettle is a good example to try out as it supports the kidneys. Traditionally nettle was used for urinary tract and kidney problems. It may also help with arthritis, allergies and prostate enlargement.
Okay, you insist on coffee? Why not try dandelion coffee. It’s a great coffee alternative that tastes very good. Aside from purifying your blood, it’s good for reducing inflammation in your gallbladder and joints. Also it takes good care of your liver.
Let’s make this next one more relaxing…try Epsom salt baths. A detox bath is one of the quickest and easiest healing treatments you can do to help your body’s natural detoxification system. Epsom salt is also known as magnesium sulphate. Magnesium is an alkaline Earth metal and is naturally good for your body. Your body needs adequate sulphur for healthy detoxification processes which is why magnesium sulphate helps to draw out toxins. Epsom salt also helps to ease muscle aches, and Oh, let’s not forget about total relaxation. Zzz…
Sauna. When you expose your body to heat, you promote metabolic processes. Saunas are a form of heat therapy. You get your circulation going to provide oxygen and nutrients to your tissues. Also, waste products are eliminated. Make sure you’re hydrated before going into one though. And of course, take regular breaks (every 10 to 15 minutes) for a cold shower and to rehydrate before going back in.
Dry skin brushing. You read that right. Don’t worry, it’s not painful. Dry skin brushing is best done in the morning. All it takes is just 5 minutes. Your skin is the largest organ in the human body. Consequently, it’s also the largest organ you can use to detox. Dry skin brushing aids in shedding dead skin cells (improving skin tone), increasing blood flow, draining your lymphatics, and helping toxins to be removed from the body. Who wouldn’t want those?
Sweat it out by exercising. This is probably the simplest thing you can do to rid your body of toxins. Exercising gets your heart pumping and increases blood circulation, opening up your skin's pores and thereby getting rid of toxins.

See? We told you that you don’t need a solid month to detox. You can do it every single day with our quick and easy tips. Though doing a full body herbal detox once every year or two does provide added benefits to your health.
