When I was a child I was raised by my grandparents. And we lived out off of the highway back in the woods. Since we live out off of the highway my grandfather had a garden and my grandmother had chickens. So our veggies were pure, no preservatives or anything artificial. The chickens were not injected with hormone. Our food was basically pretty natural.

However, we had to get detoxed before summer and winter came around. My grandparents gave us cod liver oil for detoxification. I did not like it at that time because the fish oil smelled like fish and the oil tasted bad. But now I know that it was good for me and a good thing to do. The detoxing kept us healthy and I don’t remember getting sick. Today we have herbal products to detox our bodies gently and safely. Detoxing helps cleanse the liver and colon so that these organs can continue to function properly the way they were made to. Detoxification is a good thing because we ingest so many toxins from everywhere, the air, water, chemicals, skin products, food, our work environment and the list goes on. And over time these toxins stay in our bodies which cause problems down the road.

Our immune systems get weaken because of the toxins being left in our bodies that have not been eliminated. Every person is different when it comes to eliminating waste. Some of us detox naturally by going two to three times a day and then there are the rest of us that need some help! That help for me has been herbs, not the ones that my grandparents used with the fish smell but different ones. Detoxification is real and a good practice now days to do.
