You hear the term “detox” sprinkled all over lifestyle and health ads, but most people aren’t exactly sure what it means to detox, other than to somehow clean your body of toxins. So how does a detox work and what toxins are getting cleaned out?
“ Whether we like it or not – and most of the time we are actually unaware of it – our body is constantly exposed to environmental pollutants, food additives, heavy metal toxins, pesticides, and more. These toxins and pollutants that stay in our body will make us feel lethargic, sluggish, and sometimes can cause allergies. Detox is a process to assist eliminating these toxins from our body, so we can feel more energized and lighter from inside out, “ says Tania Ho, founder and director of Museflower Retreat & Spa, Chiang Rai’s first vegetarian holistic wellness retreat.
