Detoxification or cleansing can benefit those with conditions like parasites, headaches, bad breath, hemorrhoids, irritability, and more. The liver plays a key role in detoxifying the body through two phases that transform toxins into water-soluble compounds and eliminate them. Supporting the liver's detox pathways through nutrients, avoiding an overwhelming toxic load, and addressing excretion and genetic factors can help optimize its function. Some potential benefits of a detox program include increased energy, weight loss, clearer thinking, better skin and sleep, and improved mood.
