Open the windows, shake out the rugs, and let the sunshine in. March is officially here, which  means it’s time to spring clean. Your home space is not the only space that needs cleaning, however—the human body can benefit from a refresh, too.  

Opening the excretion system is first on the list. Your detoxification organs include the colon, liver, kidneys, and lungs. You can help revitalize them with intermittent fasting. This allows some time for the gut to rest, so the body can break down old cells and flush them into the circulation, where the liver turns them into components for recycling. Be sure to drink plenty of water to facilitate kidney function while fasting. 

The colon needs special attention, since it can easily be compromised. Seek out a practitioner who is trained in “colonics” or colon hydrotherapy to rinse this organ from the inside. Next, fire up your metabolism through chelation, the removal of heavy metals—like lead, mercury, arsenic—from the tissues. This is a medical process that requires a knowledgeable clinician, but it’s worth the investment in your well-being.
