These days, toxins are everywhere: in food as preservative, in water as water “purifying” agents such as chlorine and fluoride, in air as small chemical particles and in most of the personal care products commonly available.
Toxins are also formed after the normal metabolism process. Our body has the inbuilt ability to remove these toxins naturally if the body channels are healthy and fine. That means if there is any obstruction or disturbance in lymphatic drainage, blood circulation, elimination, urination, sweating, etc., these toxins cannot be removed from the tissues properly. If these toxins are sitting in the tissues for a long period of time, they may cause inflammation in the tissues, resulting in painful joints and muscles, as well as causing an uneasy, heavy and drained feeling which may lead to anxiety, depression, insomnia, etc.[/su_box]
