- Alternative medicine, like acupuncture and saunas, are great ways to detox the body. Acupuncture uses tiny needles to access points on the body. It is designed to bring energy to key points of the body. Sitting in a sauna for 20 minutes at a time promotes sweating, which cleanses the body of toxins.
- Water and a diet of fruits and vegetables are easy ways to fast. Fast for one day by drinking 8 to 10 glasses of water. Lemon juice may be added to the water because it provides nutrients that aid in detoxifying the body. Eat nothing but fruits and vegetables and gluten-free products for three to seven days. Fruits and vegetables are high in fiber and aid in quick detoxing of the body.
- Enemas can be used in the privacy of your own home to flush out the colon. Use an enema twice a month to help the colon flush out toxic bile. Enemas should not be used more than twice a month because they can affect normal bacteria that live in the intestines. Also, overuse can cause dependency on enemas for elimination of waste.
