We Live in a Dirty World. Manage Your Detox with 3 Reflexology Body Systems to Workout & 3 Crucial Daily Activities.
When I think of toxicity, the first word coming to my mind is (of course) reflexology! A reflexology session offers a mild detox. Often, this detox goes unnoticed. The person comes to my table with other issues and leaves feeling better, grounded, at peace.
People visit reflexologists with health issues which they feel need spiritual attention. This focus may be subdued. In other words, they feel they need spiritual attention but aren’t aware of the situation. They haven’t yet begun to verbalize their needs.
The words they use include fatigue, insomnia, constipation, headaches.
Whatever words they use, a reflexology session opens a window into homeostasis – the balance of all body systems. This is what healing is all about.
A toxic body makes healing more challenging.
A reflexology session works three body systems to promote a physical detox.
Your liver is a powerful detoxing organ in your Digestive System. Your liver does two things to manage a detox: Its enzymes break down toxins and then sends them off to your kidneys as urine and to your lower digestive tract as feces.
As my Aunt Ruby always said: “Your good health begins and ends in your digestive system.”
When your reflexologist works your Lymphatic System, the fluids in your body balance and remove toxins. This system works on a parallel path with your circulatory system. Your Lymphatic System works to keep your body clean.
Your Respiratory System focuses on the air you breathe. You inhale oxygen and exhale toxins.
A weekly reflexology session helps your body detox itself. You can boost this weekly session by combining it with Reiki therapy and chakra healing. Or not. Whatever makes you comfortable is important.
There are Three other things to pay attention to in addition to your weekly sessions. A Healthy Diet, Daily Exercise, and Enough Sleep. Each one of these activities is crucial to your detoxing success.
Don’t be put off by The Big Three. Detoxing can be a journey you start small. Begin by drinking enough water each day.
Each morning, I prepare two large glasses of water which I drink throughout the day. On a good day, I get in three large glasses.
For me a Daily Exercise routine can include many different things. But two things are basic – every day: Walking 10,000 steps and using my personal trampoline. I may include other things such as yoga on a weekly routine schedule. But the walking and the trampoline are daily essential habits for me.
I’ve written many blog posts about exercise and my new book “Wellness for All” refers to exercise as well.
But, one thing I think I’ve omitted to discuss is the importance of exercise to your detox. Daily exercise is crucial to any detox effort.
When you increase your circulation enough to sweat, you detox!
I cannot overemphasize the importance of Enough Sleep. My Aunt Ruby knew what she was talking about when she said “When you get enough sleep, you can slay dragons”.
Don’t make any job harder than it has to be. Sleep your way through your detox every night. And, include a power nap in the afternoon if you can fit it in.
A Healthy Diet during a detox will have a major impact on your moods and your ability to stay calm. This will make you a lot easier to live with as you shed toxins that may have been hanging around for months or years.
You may decide to dramatically change your diet to promote your detox efforts. Or, you may decide that the slow, gentle release of toxins through reflexology is enough for a start.
Reduce the toxins you ingest in your food. It can be easier than you think to eat foods that taste delicious and support your good health too!
Another Aunt Ruby guideline: Small steps create big changes when it comes to caring for your body and soul.
A detox is important to your self-care. Also important: Understand why you feel you need to detox in the first place. Whatever your reason, broaden your goal to include your life – not just your body.
Remember to care for yourself, and our planet. Include activities that support your emotional health and your soul.
One thing this article refers too in several ways: You have a choice with detoxification.
You can detox for a day or two days or a week.
You can even take a detox vacation as I did several years ago when I spent 10 days in Fort Lauderdale, Florida, drinking juices and other beverages to encourage toxins to move on out.,
Or, you can take the rest of your life. Certainly, that’s the easy way. How does it work? When you choose to eat healthy, clean foods which promote a healthy body, you are, in a sense, detoxing your life.
Choose to take supplements which support your detoxing efforts. This means you choose your supplements with care. All my supplements come from the shelves at Village Apothecary. I have total confidence in Neal Smoller’s knowledge, experience, and opinions.
You can reach Village Apothecary at www.villageapothecaryrx.com.
You will include sleep, skin-care routines, and cleansing products in your detox routines. What this means is that you are going for the big picture: your whole life – not just a smoothie or two.
What this amounts to is this: Many small steps will bring big changes.
The small steps that bring big changes can renew your body and soul. When you take charge of your health and your future, you are the future behind your own change!
Pat yourself on your back, and call yourself a hero! And, don’t forget to journal about it. What a wonderful story you will tell!

On a Diet? Get active, eat better, and lose weight!
I don’t know about you, but I’ve discovered some interesting extra pounds recently. Not only am I eating more but I’m also moving less. It seems with each passing day, I’m older and rounder.
Sometimes I feel like I can’t win this battle. Then, I think about my situation and I realize that I can win this battle. I need to go on a diet.
The last time I went on a diet, I lost almost three dozen pounds. That was a long time ago. Almost thirty years ago, to be exact. I kissed carbs goodbye and the pounds went along with them.
This time I think I can have a more successful diet and my life will be easier, too. So…I’m taking this diet week-by-week. I plan to lose weight using newer, more effective, techniques. I plan to be healthier.
I hope to do some more interesting things along the way, too.
Will you join me?
I’m hoping to share effective weight-loss tips to make weight loss easier and more fun. I’m also hoping I’ll be able to keep the weight off!
For my first week on this diet, I’m thinking of ways to move more. I’m getting active for more energy.
I have a weekly zoom yoga/fitness class with Carolyn Abedor on Thursday mornings. I would prefer to have two classes each week with her but I’m working on Tuesday mornings when she offers her other class. I would love to rearrange my work schedule but, so far, have been unable to do so.
I spend a few minutes on a personal trampoline each day. Reflexologists love personal trampolines and I’m no exception.
At least twice daily, my 5-pound chihuahua walks me down the street. That will soon end when the snow comes. Taco can’t stand icy roads.
So, I’m seeking other active options.
I try to walk more at work and I like to walk more when I food shop.
A new goal is to put in about 300 extra steps every day – no matter what. I plan to add more physical activities over time until I’ve move these 300 steps to 30 minutes of daily exercise.
I’m searching for low-impact activities on exercise videos such as YouTube and Amazon. I’m planning to check out some videos at the library. I also plan to contact my area hospital to see what programs are available at its wellness center.
Thank you for allowing me to share this journey with you. I wish us all success in this quest for better health and a better weight.
Meanwhile, for this week, Let’s Move!
I’m hoping you’ll share this article with your preferred social media network.
