Time for a Detox?

With summer coming up, are you ready to feel Hot, Hot, Hot? Well, along with feeling hot comes lots of sweat, sweat, sweat! Sweat is one of our body’s main mechanisms of detoxification. Detoxification is a method of removing or cleansing harmful toxins out of the body, restoring health and vitality to our organs and tissues. It is a means of total body rejuvenation.

Most commonly when we think of cleansing, we think of fasting from different types of food or perhaps popping the latest “cleansing miracle” pill. In reality, our bodies naturally detox in times of rest. This is why when we go on vacation, so often we come home feeling under the weather… we have had a chance to relax, signaling to the body that it is a good time to release some of the junk inside of us. Hence, we may get a head cold, sore throat, or ear infection as toxins are passing out of us.

There are foods that help speed up the detoxification process. These foods not only work internally, but also are tremendously beneficial when applied externally. Some of these key foods are citrus fruits like lemons, limes, grapefruit, and oranges, and other cleansing fruits such as pineapple, kiwi, cherries, and figs. Dark greens, especially in the form of juice, are especially detoxifying to the liver and kidneys, the main toxin filters in our bodies. It’s often said that a healthy liver equals a healthy body.

Healthful detoxification has led to many reported health benefits, some of which include:

  • Elimination of several allergies
  • Quick and strong growth of hair and fingernails.
  • Faster reflexes.
  • Increased endurance and energy.
  • Better sense of smell and hearing.
  • Fresher breath and a decreased body odor.
  • Greater concentration, memory, and mental focus.

Shear Miracle Organics believes wholeheartedly in the awesome benefits of body detoxification and rejuvenation. Their philosophy is “A Holistic Approach to Beauty”. That’s why a company that provides salon products talks so much about foods and lifestyle! Every ingredient that is chosen to be used in their products has a specific purpose. Many of their high-quality ingredients are also prime bodily cleansing nutrients like aloe vera, and citrus oils of lemon, lime, orange, and grapefruit, like those found in Fresh Canvas Shampoo, a clarifying and purifying shampoo. As you detox your body from the inside, Fresh Canvas Shampoo can assist you from the outside.

What are some of the ways you attempt to cleanse your body of toxins?

A few more points about Fresh Canvas Shampoo:

  • Can be used occasionally on color-treated hair – although this shampoo would not be our first choice for color treated hair, because of its gentle nature compared a traditional chemical clarifying shampoo, it won’t strip the hair of its color
  • Is great to use after swimming in chlorine pools! After lathering, leave on hair for 5 minutes before rinsing
  • Will remove any build up from traditional products (Shear Miracle Organics products NEVER build up on the hair)
  • Can be paired with any Shear Miracle Organics conditioner
  • Perfect for use before any color, perm, straightener or keratin treatment
