Detoxification: The Path To Wellness

Each day, toxins seep into our bodies through the food we eat, the air we breathe, and the water we drink. Most of these toxins remain in the body for many years, stored in the fat cells that exist throughout the body. By lowering your toxic burden, many chronic health situations can be improved.

Our whole health approach to detoxification and better health includes:

A Message from Salli and Bill

sarah_bill.jpgIn recent years we’ve become increasingly interested in ways to improve our health and wellness. Certainly, exercise and a balanced diet are crucial, yet as we looked into the foods we ate and the water we drank, we realized that paying attention to the smaller details now may mean a healthier life down the line. Taking charge of one’s wellness begins with knowing and understanding your health conditions, your family health history, and the environment that surrounds you.

Never before in the history of our planet has there been such an overwhelming volume of toxic materials dumped upon us through our air supply, water supply and food supply. These toxins are in our bodies. So many aspects of our lives contribute to our toxic burden without our awareness. While many of us probably have some idea that being around pesticides or automobile exhaust probably isn't good for us, most of us would probably be surprised to know that the fire retardants present in virtually everything in our homes (in the United States) also exposes us to toxins. Even our carpeting outgases over 12 chemicals known to cause cancer.

Toxins damage cells, disrupt our endocrine systems, and impair the body's ability to absorb nutrients and heal itself. Besides toxins inhibiting our ability to absorb nutrients, other factors also contribute to reduced nutrition. Our increased need for nutrients also results from our over-use of antibiotics and other medications, our diets high in protein and fat, and our often high-stress lifestyles.

In the last 50 years the rate of autism in children has gone from 1 in 2500 to 1 in 150. Over 200 chemicals are found in a baby’s umbilical cord. 4.4 million children are diagnosed with ADD and ADHD. These alarming statistics increase our need to consume natural, organic forms of food and purified water and to find a way to detoxifiy our bodies. We believe that the most powerful idea in health today is detoxification.

Alternatives For Health Herbal Apothecary is dedicated to detoxification through treatments, products and classes. We have a variety of treatments available to help detox your body and herbs and products that will continue the process in between treatments and others that will increase your energy and vitality.
