Identification
-
A full-body detox can start with a morning drink of hot water with a half lemon squeezed into it. This will start peristalsis to stimulate a bowel movement. Eating whole fruits, vegetables, cooked grains, olive oil, psyllium or ground flax seeds will assist the overall colon cleanse and full-body detoxification.
Features
-
By refraining from heavy animal protein, dairy, fried foods, alcohol, refined sugar or flour, and salty foods, you will have greater success with your detox. After drinking your hot lemon water, eat lightly throughout the day. Drink one to three cups of a commercial "detox tea" that contains herbs such dandelion root, sassafras, black walnut hull and red clover.

People report skin clearing up from acne breakouts, weight loss, better digestion, better elimination habits, and increased physical energy and mental clarity after completing a full-body cleanse.
Considerations
-
If you are pregnant or have a history of eating disorders, consult your doctor before doing a detox. If you have any serious medical conditions or are taking any prescription medications, see your doctor. Children should not undergo a cleanse unless supervised by a physician.
Misconceptions

There is a misconception that body detoxification means not consuming food of any kind. This is not true. For example, it is possible to eat a whole-foods diet and consume cleansing herbs and teas to facilitate a full-body cleanse without fasting.
