The topic of cleansing and detox is popular at the start of the New Year. But do we honestly need to follow an actual cleanse or detox regimen to get the toxins out of our bodies? Our bodies are naturally designed to be self-cleaning organisms. From the skin acting as a natural barrier for bacteria and other pathogens, to the kidneys and liver breaking down both foreign and domestic waste, the human body has everything it needs to keep itself cleansed all on its own.

Unfortunately, most of us live in varying degrees of what you could call a toxic soup, a combo of air pollution, junk food, too much sugar and too little exercise, and let’s not forget about stress. Fortunately, there are plenty of ways we can take care of ourselves naturally, without spending hundreds of dollars on “natural” detox products that are often nothing more than harsh herbal laxatives.

Harsh detox products made with strong laxatives can be habit forming. Diarrhea, weakness, the "blahs", and headache are all common side effects when doing intense cleanses, and unfortunately, the results such as weight loss are usually only temporary. Unless a person makes healthy changes in their diet, lifestyle, and exercise regimen, your body will revert to its pre-cleanse state.
There are several herbs that are safe, non-irritating, and work with your body rather than forcing it to purge. Here are some of the most important herbs for keeping your body cleansed and healthy:
