How to clear out toxins from your body ?

 There are too much artificial chemicals added to our food which are toxins to our body. Your liver is working very hard to clear out the toxins on regular basis. The moment you keep the taste the food, your tongue send the signals to your liver to start its detoxification process. The liver is overworked and tired due to the accumulation of waste for many years continuously. There are some simple things you can do to clear out the unwanted waste from your physical system. The clear system is efficient and healthy.  There are few simple things that I follow to keep a waste free system.

Eyes

 We live in polluted environments and strain our eyes all the time to use computer and phone. The eye has inbuilt waste clearing mechanisms by secreting salt water and the eyelids acts as wiper. But, it is not doing much good, because people working in the system blink far lesser than the normal blinking rate. I know a friend of mine who works in software development got some issues of eyes getting dry due to the reduced eye blinking rate. So, its better to set up a break reminding software to take some little breaks and look far and take a walk. You can install a software like safeEyes for linux or BreakTimer for all OS platforms. It intimates you to take a break and shows a countdown timer. It is very helpful for me to keep my eyes relaxed and clean from the waste. Once a week you can also put few drops of castor oil on your eyes, it clears all the dirt and keep your eyes cool and relaxed. Wearing protective glasses while traveling also helps reduce the amount of dirt getting into the eyes.

Nose

We continuously breath and the filter the air through the nose. It is also on the overdrive because of the amount of pollutants that is created daily. Our nose has to be cleaned regularly. It would be helpful if you can do "Jal Neti", it is to clean the nasal passage with water. You can bend forward, take some normal room temperature water in a mug. While breathing through the mouth, you can pour the water into ride-side  nostril and let it come out of the left-side. Similarly the other side, care must be taken to breath only through your mouth and not through the nostrils. Otherwise water would go into the nose resulting in chocking.  The mug with a long protruding tube is more effective to direct the water into the nostrils than normal mug. This can be done daily before taking bath. Check out a video demonstration of jalneti.

Water Fasting

The water fasting is not eating normal food and taking only water for a day. The easiest day to fast is three days before full moon or no-moon. On that day, our body is naturally not hungry. You can fast one day every 14 days. It is difficult for the first time, but after fasting a couple of times, it becomes easier to follow. I do fasting regularly and take on normal work routine even while fasting. By taking up fasting, you clear up the tremendous amounts of energy used for the digestion by the stomach toward purifying the blood from toxins. The blood is the inbound and outbound traffic for all organs, so it directly cleans out all of the bodily organs. The body rejuvenates and all the energy reserves are replenished while fasting. It is a very good feeling the next day of fasting, you feel great for yourself by taking up fasting. For more check my article on why you should do fasting.

Intestines

The intestines extract the energy and minerals from the digested food from the stomach. They usually accumulate lot of waste in the intestinal linings. It can be cleared by two ways. One is by taking natural laxatives or Ayurveda medicine that flush the intestinal track once or twice a year. Another method is to do enema, by flushing water into the intestines through anus. It can be done using an enema kit and filling it with lukewarm water. It clears all the dirt and long accumulation of waste from the intestines. 

The little waste that is present in our body takes up lot of energy and makes our body inefficient. It is better to have a powerful clear system and have all the energy freed up for your disposal. It also keeps you healthy and disease free by boosting your immune system. So, take maintenance care of clearing your system from unwanted wastes and toxins. Reduce the intake of processed packed foods and consume more natural available foods.
