With lots of chemicals in everything we eat, it is rather hard for our bodies to work optimally. The great news is that we can get rid of the rubbish we accumulate over time. For clearer skin, improved energy, and improved health general detox diets are becoming increasingly more popular. The idea is that these diets nourish our bodies and toxins are systematically flushed out which we all accumulate through our normal diet and the environment.

Drink water and herbal tea
One important strategy is to drink plenty of water. Clear urine means that you are appropriately hydrated. However, try and avoid other drinks even if they look natural, like apple juice. They may contain preservatives and artificial sugars. Drinking tea, especially herbal tea, can help with doing a detox.

Sweat
Sweating is another excellent way to eliminate toxins. As we all sweat when exercising, we should try and exercise three times a week for 30 minutes, though the exercise itself does not need to be strenuous. Alternatively, switch off your air conditioning.

Take a break from your normal diet
You should consume plenty of fruits, veggies, and nuts and seeds. Red meats, dairy products, and greasy foods should be avoided. Above all, do not smoke or drink alcohol.

Take a salt bath
Moreover, for centuries the Himalayan salt tub advantages have been greatly valued and well documented. Early civilisations used salt to encourage rejuvenation and rest. Hippocrates was the first person who discovered the healing qualities of seawater and detox bathrooms by detecting the healing effects it had on the injured hands of fishermen. The salty seawater not only limited the chance of infection but additionally provided pain relief. We know that there is a connection between salt treatment and the rejuvenation through minerals. It is, therefore, time for everybody to get back into Himalayan salt baths! Many individuals believe that the detoxifying effect of a salt bath is comparable to that of a three day fast. Whenever you sit in a salt bath, the Himalayan salt detoxes your body from toxins, and your energy field becomes enhanced. The valuable minerals of the salt are absorbed through the skin. The salt contains over 84 minerals and components which help lower acidity and inflammation in your body. Having a Himalayan salt bath can help to balance the pH level of your skin, increase blood circulation and enhance the way you feel and look. Your skin will be luminous after your bath!

Breath salty air
Taking health to another degree, halotherapy, a.k.a. salt treatment, is another way to boost your wellness levels. Salt therapy is comparable to spending time in salty sea air, which provides a lot more advantages than merely relaxation on the beach. Ancient healers and philosophers advocated inhalation of salt for the respiratory system and health problems. The benefits of salt treatment are wide-ranging. Salt levels influence our cell action, energy and glucose levels.
Salt is a natural disinfectant, which is anti-microbial, and antibacterial. Salt comes from empty processed forms or from healthy pure sea salt which contains 84 essential components and trace elements. A dry salt atmosphere is particularly healthy. The negatively charged ions in salt enhance our health and state of wellbeing. Scientific research highlights that individuals with asthma along with other respiratory issues breathe easier after halotherapy. The soothing and detoxifying effect of halotherapy will stimulate the immune, nervous and circulatory systems. Additional advantages are that we feel less stress, headaches disappear, and we feel that we have increased energy. Our sleep also improves. Salt ions purify the atmosphere and might improve lung capacity and reduce physical disorders.
Treatments are useful to help keep the body healthy especially during times of influenza or during the allergy season. Skin conditions may improve with halotherapy. Table sodium, sodium chloride, is dehydrating, but pure mineral salts possess natural moisturising properties and help the skin to retain a right water balance. Minerals are needed for cell function and detoxification. Consequently, mineral salts possess strong rejuvenating properties. Spa experts say that the concentration of particles in halotherapy is much higher than when we are close to the sea. Nonetheless, nothing can replace a day near the seaside. However, when we cannot take time off to head to the beach, then halotherapy is undoubtedly a great alternative.
