The Power of Clean Eating
The foundation of any detox is a clean, nutrient-rich diet. Choosing whole, unprocessed foods ensures that you’re not adding more toxins while giving your body what it needs to function optimally. Focus on antioxidant-rich super foods that support detoxification, such as:
- Berries – Blueberries, raspberries, and strawberries are packed with antioxidants that help neutralize free radicals and support liver function.
- Leafy Greens – Spinach, kale, and cilantro provide chlorophyll, which helps eliminate toxins.
- Cruciferous Vegetables – Broccoli, cauliflower, and Brussels sprouts contain compounds that support liver detox pathways.
- Lemon & Ginger – A simple warm lemon water with ginger in the morning can kickstart digestion and detoxification.

Hydration is Key
Water is essential for flushing out toxins. Aim for at least half your body weight in ounces of water per day, and consider adding herbal teas like dandelion root or nettle to further support detoxification. Hydration helps the kidneys and liver function optimally, ensuring that waste is eliminated efficiently. Need a new water bottle? Hydroflask is a great, lead free option.

Homeopathy-Friendly Detox Support
Supporting your body with natural detox methods can make a significant difference in how you feel. Here are some of my favorite homeopathy-friendly detox tools:
Liver Love from Earthley Wellness
A gentle yet powerful liver support supplement that promotes detoxification without being harsh on the body.
Detox Baths
Soaking in a detox bath can help pull out toxins while promoting relaxation. You can purchase a pre-made detox salt from Earthley Wellness, or make your own with this simple recipe:
DIY Detox Bath Recipe:
- 1 cup Epsom salt
- 1/2 cup aluminum-free baking soda
- 10 drops essential oils (Lavender is a great choice for relaxation!)

Castor Oil Packs
Castor oil packs are a fantastic way to support lymphatic drainage and liver detox.
Here’s how to do one at home:
- Soak a piece of flannel in organic castor oil.
- Place it over your liver area (right side of your abdomen, under your rib cage).
- Cover with an ace bandage or secure in place using another method, and place a warm heating pad over it.
- Relax for 30-60 minutes while the castor oil penetrates the skin and stimulates circulation.

Ionic Foot Baths
These foot baths help draw out toxins through the feet, and many wellness clinics offer them at an affordable price. If you prefer, you can also invest in a home system for regular detox support. It is recommended to only do two ionic foot baths a week. All you need is a tub for water, about a teaspoon of salt (for conduction), and a machine!

TRS Zeolite & Fulvic Acid
These tools are excellent for binding and removing toxins at a cellular level. They are gentle yet effective, making them a great choice for those with sensitivities. If you’re new to detoxing and have concerns, reach out—I’d love to chat about a gentle approach to help you build up to the full recommended dose. I recommend Coseva* for these products. After much trial and error – I have found these products to be most gentle and relatively ‘safe’ for most people.

Possible Detox Reactions: The Herxheimer Effect
For some people, detoxing can trigger what is known as a Herxheimer reaction—a temporary worsening of symptoms as the body eliminates toxins. This can include headaches, fatigue, nausea, body aches, or flu-like symptoms. If you experience this, it’s important to:
- Slow down the detox process – Reduce dosages or detox frequency to a more manageable level.
- Increase hydration – Drinking more water can help flush toxins more efficiently.
- Support elimination pathways – Ensure proper bowel movements, sweating, and kidney function by using mild herbal teas, movement, lymphatic drainage massage, rebounding, and detox baths.
- Rest and nourish your body – Gentle movement, deep breathing, and getting enough sleep can all help ease detox reactions.
If you’re especially sensitive, starting low and slow with detox support and gradually increasing can help avoid intense reactions. Always listen to your body – you know yourself better than anyone! Other than maybe your homeopath 😉
Detoxing doesn’t have to be difficult or overwhelming. By incorporating clean eating, proper hydration, and natural support methods, you can gently eliminate toxins to feel your best.
