Detox & Fasting Therapy

Detox and fasting therapy in naturopathy uses supervised fasting, plant-based diets and cleansing procedures aimed at improving digestion and weight. Human bodies already remove waste through the liver, kidneys and gut, so the benefits of "detox" are not well proven.

Prolonged fasting is risky for people with diabetes, kidney or heart disease, pregnancy, eating disorders and the elderly. Always consult your doctor first.
