SKIN

Our skin is the only organ on this list found outside of our bodies, but it’s still extremely important because it’s our largest detoxifying organ, so it needs to be taken care of, too!

  • To help flush out toxins, drink a lot of water and try adding fresh lemon
  • In the morning on an empty stomach, drink two to three cups of celery juice
  • Diary is extremely inflammatory for the skin, so limit or cut it out
  • Reduce refined sugar consumption
  • Dry Brush 3-5 times a week
  • Try a clay mask to remove toxins from your skin
  • Make the switch to an all-natural deodorant
  • Replace your current makeup & skincare with cleaner with natural, safer alternatives

LYMPHATIC SYSTEM

As a vital part of our immune system, the lymphatic system also filters toxins and drains fluids. Occasionally, the lymphatic system becomes lethargic & may need an extra push to stimulate that desired lymphatic drainage.

  • Lymphatic drainage can be stimulated by dry brushing
  • Get a lymphatic drainage massage
  • You can use a jade roller on your face
  • Stay hydrated throughout the day by drinking plenty of water

GUT

It’s so important to take care of our gut microbiome. Mental health is directly related to gut health… whatever you feed your gut, you feed your brain. We can’t ignore the importance of gut health when it comes to maintaining our health & preventing diseases.

  • Eat at least two to three plant-based meals each week
  • Avoid inflammatory foods like gluten, dairy, and refined sugar
  • Alkalize your gut with room temperature water with lemon in the morning
  • Probiotics or prebiotics are also good for your gut
  • As much as possible, reduce your stress
  • Slow down when eating and chew mindfully
  • Take time to relax and get enough sleep
  • Take collagen supplements or make bone broth if you don’t follow a plant-based diet

LIVER

The liver plays a crucial role in our health. When your liver is fatty or toxin-ridden, which is very common, it can be very detrimental to you by causing things like autoimmune conditions, acne, fatigue, high blood pressure, IBS, & weight gain. Our liver is one of our most intelligent organs, so it’s essential we help it detoxify!

  • Start your day with a fresh piece of ginger in your water
  • A glass of celery juice can help dissolve gallstones and detoxify the liver
  • Our livers are damaged by eggs, milk, cheese, vinegar, excessive salt, and pork so try to stay away from these
  • Processed foods, processed meats, hydrogenated oils, and refined sugar should be limited too
  • For liver support, try milk thistle, turmeric, or dandelion
  • Make sure you include liver-healing foods in your diet such as arugula, apples, kelp, broccoli, celery, spirulina, walnuts, beets, grapefruit, and asparagus

KIDNEYS

We need to be hydrated to help along the elimination process of waste from our bodies through our kidneys.

  • To help your kidneys eliminate toxins, apply a ginger compress to your lower back
  • Try to eat a variety of foods that support the kidney, such as grapes, berries, cranberries, seaweed, leafy greens, and sweet potatoes.
  • Try drinking dried nettle leaf tea to cleanse your kidneys
  • Stay hydrated
  • Processed foods, alcohol, and caffeine should be avoided

LUNGS

Most days, we don’t even think about our breath. Toxins, fumes, smoke, & allergens are inhaled every day. There are times when our lungs just need a break!

  • Purify the air with an air purifier
  • If you already have an air purifier or something similar, change the filters
  • Take advantage of the outdoors
  • Smoking and inhaling smoke should be avoided
  • Get rid of artificial air fresheners
  • Focus on your breath & practice deep breathing
  • Use an essential oil diffuser to diffuse Tea Tree, Peppermint, and Eucalyptus oils
  • Dairy and processed meats are mucus-causing foods so try to cut these out where possible
  • Frequent exercise and movement are essential
  • Make your home air-purifying by adding plants

COLON

To make sure everything is running smoothly, it’s important to focus on the colon, or large intestine!

  • Drink plenty of water
  • Take a probiotic every day
  • Peppermint, ginger, camomile, liquorice root, and slippery elm tea are all good herbal teas to try
