Interactive Body Detoxification

Body detoxification has a very diverse network. It has gradually reached the areas of conventional medicine and at present it has grown by continually showcasing treatments from traditional roots. Let's take a look at how different organs interact in traditional Chinese medicine in order to get rid of toxins that are harmful to the body.

Basically Chinese medicine is referred to as a system of internal medicine which is composed of diagnostic procedures based on signs and symptoms that are then resolved by treatment styles such as meditation, acupuncture, herbal preparations, exercise, and diet. The principles of Chinese healing lie on the interdependent relationship of the Yin and Yang. When balance is present health is assured to be on optimum level.

Detoxification in traditional Chinese medicine occurs via the joint efforts of organs. The lung and the large intestine have close relations. The large intestine is responsible for the processing of liquid wastes into solid form as well as transporting them out of the body. It assists the lungs in manipulating skin pores thereby controlling perspiration. The lungs return the favor via the expansion and contraction of the diaphragm which results to peristalsis leading to intestinal activity.

The lungs kick out harmful toxins through deep breathing mechanisms. Deep breathing is also part of enhancing lymphatic flow en route to toxin elimination. The colon works with the lungs by removing unwanted substances in the live and the digestive tract. In order to ensure that the duo gets the job done it is advisable to combine deep breathing with a glass of psyllium husk.

The liver and the gallbladder form the tandem in Chinese medicine. The liver functions by storing and regulating blood as well as organizing the smooth flow of Qi energy which is vital for emotional balance, functional digestion, regular menstruation, and patent bile secretion. The liver transforms harmful impurities into substances that can be safely flushed out by the kidneys and the colon. The gallbladder helps the liver in the completion of this job. A tall glass of water squeezed with half a lemon will increase the capacity of the liver-gall bladder tandem.

The Chinese style of body detoxification is furthermore bannered by both the kidney and the bladder. The kidney is the storage facility housing the essence of a person's constitution and the reproductive fluids that give way to life. When the liver passes water soluble waste to the kidneys it is up to the bladder to filter this for proper elimination. A tea made from boiling four cups of water and a handful of corn silk will support the union of the bladder and the kidney.
