The human body is made to process and remove toxins through your detoxification pathways: Skin, lungs, kidneys, liver and colon. Your skin is your largest organ and can both absorb and emit.
If you put a clove of garlic under your foot in your shoe, you would taste garlic in about 20 minutes. Conversely, if you consumed a lot of garlic, it would emit through your skin to the point where others can smell it.
Your lungs filter some of the toxins you breathe but it is your kidneys and liver that do most of the work. Your kidneys are responsible for filtering blood and releasing toxins via your urine. Staying adequately hydrated helps to flush your kidneys and keep them working optimally.
Your liver takes the brunt of detoxification. It filters your blood, neutralizing toxins before they can pass through the rest of your body. It also helps break down fats and helps maintain blood sugar stability. As great as this all sounds, these organs get overwhelmed by the amount of modern-day toxins we are exposed to daily. Over time, this burden can negatively impact your health. Therefore, providing a little support can be helpful.
Here are five herbs (there are many more) that can support your body’s natural detoxification process:
• Burdock Root
• Cilantro
• Dandelion
• Milk Thistle
• Garlic
Here are five nutrients that can support detoxification:
• Acetylcysteine (or “N-acetylcysteine” (NAC))
• L-glutamine
• Glutathione
• Magnesium
• Probiotics
