About Cleansing
What is cleansing and detoxification?
Cleansing and detoxification are the terms
used to describe the process your body goes through to get rid of toxins. The body has five channels of elimination
including the bowel, kidneys, lungs, skin, and lymphatic system. Each of these systems works together with
the liver on a daily basis to remove toxins from the body. Our cleansing program gently stimulates your
organs, blood cells, tissues and the elimination channels to sweep toxins away
from the body.
Why should I consider a cleansing
program?
As we live, toxins accumulate in our
bodies. Some of these are due to our diet and others are due to the environment
around us. Of course, our lifestyle also fits in - if you smoke or use alcohol
you are accumulating even more toxins.
The following warning signs are some of the indications that toxins are
building up in your system: bloating,
gas, weight gain, skin problems, chronic fatigue, constipation, headaches,
irritability, allergies, and poor circulation.
How will I feel during the cleansing
program?
As part of the healing process, the body
will begin to discard toxic residues, which have built up in your body over the
years. During the initial phase of healing, as your body begins to cleanse,
your vital energy begins to repair and rebuild internal organs, you may
experience headaches, uneasiness, flu-like symptoms and fatigue. This is often
called a “healing crisis”. It is
important that you adequately rest during this time. These symptoms will pass
as your body begins to normalize to a new, vigorous level of health.
What are some of the benefits of
completing a cleansing program?
Some benefits of a cleansing program
include improved ability to absorb and utilize nutrients, proper elimination
(2-3 bowel movements a day), increased energy, weight loss, relief from
depression, refreshed skin, greater stamina, an increased sense of well-being
and clearer thinking! We place a strong
emphasis on educating each of our clients.
You will leave with a better understanding of nutrition and healthy
living.
What can I expect from the Path to
Health cleansing program?
After checking in to the Akin House, our
naturopathic practitioner (ND) will meet with you individually to discuss your
specific cleansing program.
Understanding patterns in your diet, lifestyle, exercise and overall
health will allow the ND to develop your unique cleansing protocol. Your cleansing program begins immediately
with either fasting or consuming cleansing foods, colon hydrotherapy sessions,
light exercise, massage, plenty of rest and other therapies prescribed in your
protocol. Fasting includes juices,
broths and teas that are specific to your cleansing needs. Your therapist will be on-site and available
24 hours a day to assist you with your cleansing program. The basic program includes a 1-½ hour
naturopathic consultation, 2 colon hydrotherapy sessions, 1 elective therapy
(such as Shiatsu, Massage, Visceral Manipulation and Constitutional
Hydrotherapy), juice, tea, broth and cleansing foods during your stay,
activities and Systemic Health Exercises.
