Let’s talk about toxin.

There are few type of toxins and we're talking about not directly life-threatening ones but the ones that we usually carry around in our body and don’t really know what it does or how it can affect our lifestyle.

A toxin is a chemical substance which harm our organism and body, internally and externally. Our body can accumulate various toxins in many ways, mostly from naturally or synthetically in our environment.











Sometimes the body gets exposed or tends to accumulate the toxins, that it becomes a necessity to eliminate them from the body. The body is naturally designed to process and eliminate toxins. The organs that are employed for the elimination of these chemicals are the kidneys, the liver, colon, skin and lungs. Toxins from the body are rid through urine, feces, perspiration and exhalation.


The symptoms of long term accumulated toxins in our system could vary between peoples but most of the common indications are:

  • Problems in the Gastrointestinal tract

  • Imbalance in the Hormonal levels

  • Inflammatory Conditions

  • Problems Related to the Skin

  • Cognitive Problems

  • Chronic Fatigue Syndrome/Insomnia

  • Sensitivity towards certain food products or chemicals

  • Body odor
