Environmental Pollution – Your Health-Herbal Detoxification
We are all exposed to environmental pollutants on a daily basis. Some examples include agriculture chemical contaminants; exposure to detergents; gasoline and solvents; pesticides, herbicides, and insecticides; food additives and the list goes on. How does this affect your health? The human body has an amazing ability to cleanse and detoxify itself. However when pollutants build up in our system, our bodies become overloaded and inefficient at cleaning out the bad stuff. This, in turn, results in a clogged system that eventually leads to more chronic and degenerative diseases, such as digestive disorders, hormonal imbalances, immune system suppression, asthma, and even cancer.
Our body’s primary purpose is to ensure our survival, so one of the key functions of the body is to filter toxins before they threaten our health. If our organs and body systems become incapable of clearing out unwanted substances, due to toxic overload from our environment, then many toxins remain stored, accumulate in our tissues, and inevitably cause serious harm to our well-being. Ultimately, our bodies dispose of toxins through the liver, kidneys, colon, lymph, lungs, and skin. Of which, the liver, colon, and kidneys are the key elimination organs.
