Body Detox Techniques

If you're following any kind of body detox program, there's plenty of complementary and alternative therapies that are a great way to support your body through the process. Here's some that you may not have thought of but that can offer some pleasant benefits to your detox diet.

Osteopathy

Osteopathy is a manipulation therapy which reduces strain placed on the body from physicalcauses such as bad posture or injury, and emotional causes such as stress, anxiety and fear. It can help to relieve digestive disorders such as constipation, headaches, insomnia and depression, among other things. If you tell an osteopath that you are on a body detox, they can palpate your liver to give you a type of liver detox which will stimulate its action and support its efforts.

Craniotherapy

Many osteopaths also use craniosacral therapy, or Craniotherapy techniques. The brain and spinal cord are surrounded by cerebrospinal fluid that flows up and down with a steady rhythm when we are well. The osteopath is trained to detect tiny variations in the movement of this fluid that indicate emotional or physical trauma in the bones, organs or areas of the body supplied by spinal nerves at each point.

While you lie on your back, the therapist will place their fingers alongside your spine, moving up it, vertebra by vertebra, to feel the place or places where the flow is restricted and they can then free it up using gentle pressure.

The Effects Of Craniotherapy

Craniotherapy has a deeply relaxing effect on people and can improve the function of the immune, digestive, respiratory, hormonal and circulatory systems.

Some people experience a healing crisis during the 24 hours after their treatment but it should not be too serious. This gentle therapy tends to be highly recommended as part of a body detox by all who try it.

Hydrotherapy

This blanket term is now used to refer to all kinds of water-based treatments. There are several different hydrotherapy methods that can be particularly useful when you are on a body detox diet. The choice is down to personal preference as they are all pleasant and effective.
