Why is Detoxification important?

Imagine a big barrel — empty at birth - that slowly, year by year, fills up with undesirable, toxic materials.

As a patient at Artemesia, you will be tested to determine what level of detoxification agrees best with your lifestyle and condition.

Even with a healthy lifestyle and diet, we cannot escape the air we breathe, the water we drink, and the food exposed to chemicals.

Add the levels of electromagnetic radiation, which are approximately 200 times higher than 50 years ago, unfavorable climate conditions, and your regular every day stress, and you may find that the barrel fills up rather fast.

And as the barrel starts to overflow, you experience your first symptoms of toxicity: fatigue, poor sleep, moodiness, poor concentration, catching every bug that makes the rounds, frequent headaches, allergies, general aching or malaise, constipation....

These symptoms point towards too many toxins trapped in your gut, liver, kidneys, or lymph. It is time to "empty the barrel".

When our major detox organs, the bowel, skin, liver, kidneys and lymph are overwhelmed, the body sends warning signals.

As a patient at Artemesia, you will be tested to determine what level of detoxification agrees best with your lifestyle and condition.

We believe in gentle, yet thorough detoxification, which will quickly return your vitality. A detoxified body responds faster and more efficiently to other treatments, such as Acupuncture and Shiatsu.

Organ Rejuvenation and Detoxification Products

A wide selection of homeopathic and organic herbal cleanses are available at our pharmacy. We customize each client's cleanse, and use Kinesiology to test which organs need to be detoxified, and what level is best suited for you.

By evaluating sensitivities, we can rule out allergic reactions to products and ensure the deepest detoxification.

Typically, a detox program starts with a bowel cleanse, followed by liver, kidney and lymph drainage.

We may recommend a "juice day", but rarely recommend fasting.

At the completion of detoxification, our patients have reported better sleep and mood, more energy, less cravings for junk food, better concentration, rejuvenated skin, and weight loss, to name a few things.
