Upgrade Your Health with Integrative Spa Therapies

Most of us are constantly bombarded with an increasing amount of toxins from a variety of sources:

• We swallow toxins in food that is not organic and filled with pesticides and mercury from amalgam fillings.
• We drink toxins in water that is unclean, soda and alcohol that is full of sugar and coffee that triggers dehydration.
• We inhale toxins from car exhaust, airplane fumes and household cleaning products that contain harmful ingredients.
• We absorb toxins through our skin from mold or chemicals in our home/office, clothes that have been washed in commercial toxic cleansers, and electromagnetic radiation from wireless devices.

Even if you change your lifestyle going forward with improvements in diet, hydration and digestion, your body still has to rid itself of toxins it has accumulated over many years in order to function optimally! Your body is a marvelous machine and can eliminate much of the "bad stuff" or toxins you encounter in day to day living. But, unfortunately, your body is not invincible and cannot always rely on your own natural mechanisms to remove toxic build-up from your body.

The rise in gut-related health problems such as constipation, diarrhea, Crohn’s disease, irritable bowel syndrome and colon cancer may signify a build-up of toxins. When waste is not removed from your body, particularly your gut, it can trigger symptoms which affect not only your digestion but energy, sleep, mental focus, immune system, skin and mood.
