Why detox with essential oils?

Our bodies are regularly exposed to toxic aggressions that encourage the accumulation of waste:

• Unhealthy lifestyle
• Sedentary lifestyle
• Lack of sleep
• Alcohol and tobacco
• Polluted environment
• Emotional stress
• Unbalanced diet
• Medication intake

During a detoxifying cure, the emunctory organs are stimulated and drained to help them better eliminate these toxins.

What is the role of emunctory organs?

The human body has a natural system for eliminating toxins, thanks to five emunctory organs:

• Liver
• Kidneys
• Intestines
• Lungs
• Skin

These organs work together to drain and eliminate the waste products of cellular metabolism. Sometimes, our bodies become overloaded with toxins, leading to symptoms such as fatigue, headaches, pain, transit problems and mood swings.

What's the right season for a detox?

Spring is generally recommended for this cure, as it's a time of rising energy. According to Chinese medicine, spring is associated with the liver, essential for regulating vital energy (Qi).

Waste in the body?

There are two types of waste:

• Crystals or crystalloidal substances: resulting from excess animal proteins or stress.

How can I help my body get rid of waste?

It's important to help the body purify itself by adopting a holistic approach:

• A balanced, natural diet
• Sufficient sleep
• Regular physical activity
• Herbal teas and essential oils

Essential oils can support drainage without overloading the body.
