Wellness treatments are plentiful these days, and sifting through them can be a bit daunting. Not to fear, though. Here are a few of the most popular detox treatments, including what they do and how they’ll better your being.

Colon Hydrotherapy

This age-old detox technique uses a tube to gently infuse water into the colon, flushing it of the countless impurities that make their home there. Over time, waste naturally builds up on colon walls, and if not cleansed, this accumulation may cause constipation, lethargy and general uneasiness.

By regularly cleansing the colon, the various parasites that reside in your waste don’t have a chance to accumulate and wreak havoc on your immune system. People since Ancient Egyptian times have reported feeling a wonderful, euphoric state of well-being, post colonic.

Lymphatic massage

Lymphatic massage, using as little as a half an ounce of pressure per square inch, aids in lymph flow in the lymphatic system. The lymph system is a vital part of your lymphatic system, which is ultimately essential for ridding the body of toxins and impurities of all kinds.

Lymph is a clear fluid that circulates through your body, and along the way it snatches many of the things that end up making you sick. Unfortunately, this fluid is known to swell from time to time. When this happens, it doesn’t flow as freely as it should. What lymphatic massage does is break up this swelling — encouraging the lymph to do its thing.

Lymph massage is known to be a great treatment for lymphedema, edema, post-surgery swelling and more minor things such as stress and fatigue.

Far infrared sauna

While most saunas pretty much consist of a heated room, which then heats your body, far infrared saunas use infrared light which goes straight to your body – cutting out the middle-man. What this does is warm your body at lower, less humid temperatures, more efficiently. To many people, the overall experience is a more comfortable one than a standard sauna.

Saunas aren’t only about feeling good, though. One of the main purposes of a sauna is detoxification — getting benefits similar to having just exercised. The truth is, far infrared saunas may bring on up to two to three times the volume of perspiration brought on by standard sauna, doing away with more toxins, calories, and stress.
