What is detoxification of the human body?
Detoxification is the process of removing an accumulation of built up toxins from the body while cleansing the lymphatic system, eliminating inflammation and regenerating new cells which will in turn correct the many underlying causes of disease. This is mostly caused by the long-term effects of an extremely acidic diet, environmental toxins, chemicals and medications. When the body is over-burdened with this acidic-forming waste, it will end up in a state of acidosis. This is when cells, tissues and organs become weak, damaged and eventually begin to break down and this is what we call disease...
Why Detox?
.
We are all exposed to toxins in the air, in our food, and in the water we drink and bathe in. While these are often in minute amounts, toxins gradually accumulate in the body over time, which can result in us feeling heavy, sluggish, uncomfortable, and lacking in energy.
Detox allows the body to ‘clean house’. By resting the digestive system and supporting the major organs of elimination, namely the bowels, lymphatic system, skin, kidneys and liver, the body naturally releases stored toxins that have accumulated within the tissues.
We have carefully created wellness programs that follow a holistic approach towards achieving the best results in a safe, nurturing atmosphere, expertly guided by our team of skilled therapists, nutritionists, yogis, fitness coaches and spa cuisine chefs which work to create a sustainable journey towards a healthier, enriched lifestyle

Will I experience detox symptoms?
It is important to remember that you may experience some detox symptoms as your body begins to cleanse and heal on some level. This is a natural response when one stops overloading the body with toxic foods and chemicals. The symptoms usually range from mild to moderate depending on the toxicity of your body, your environment and how committed you are to eating a raw, live foods diet and making healthy lifestyle choices. The duration of these symptoms will vary from person to person depending on each individual, their lifestyle and circumstances. Symptoms may last anywhere from a few days to weeks or even months. Some of the most common symptoms include cold and flu-like symptoms, tiredness, runny nose, mucus, digestive challenges, skin changes and break outs, mild headaches, swollen glands, weight loss and many more. Trust in your body, it knows exactly what it's doing and these symptoms are positive signs that your body is beginning to heal, rebuild and make new and healthy adjustments.
Note: As mentioned above, if you are transitioning from a highly acidic diet, you will naturally experience heavier detox symptoms. For this reason, it is advised to transition slowly by slowly reducing those acidic foods (meat, dairy etc) as you increase your intake of pure raw food.
