The philosophy behind naturopathic medicine is the belief that we are not just our physical bodies but an integrated whole of body, mind, emotions and spirit. What affects one part of you will ultimately affect the whole.

During detox, often the first and most obvious transformation is on the physical level and many people come on a detox simply for this purpose. Whether it is for weight loss, skin change, improved digestion or gaining more energy and vitality – fasting and cleansing tackles a huge range of symptoms.

However, deep cleansing works on ALL levels – something that may surprise first time ‘detoxers’ who may be expecting JUST a physical detox. Our 7 day detox programme, in a relaxed and supportive atmosphere, can (if you wish) be a period of deep transformation, a chance to discover, perhaps for the first time, a sense of who you really are.

At Detox International we continually witness just how incredibly strong the mind-body connection is and the physical–emotional link is nowhere more apparent than in the gut! When a client is having difficulty releasing on the physical level (i.e. colon waste!) we find they are often holding on tight on the emotional level. In this way, detoxifying old emotional patterns will greatly improve the physical detox.
