Signs Women Need to Detox and Cleanse the Body

1. Constipation

If your bowel movement intervals exceed three days or more, you may be suffering from constipation. Depending on the symptoms, constipation can be classified into habitual constipation and occasional constipation. The large intestine forms feces and controls defecation, which is one of the main channels for expelling toxins from the body. If toxins accumulate inside the body, it affects the function of the spleen and stomach, causing abnormal transmission in the large intestine, leading to intestinal blockage and constipation. Long-term constipation results in a large accumulation of toxins due to the inability to timely excrete feces. These toxins being absorbed by the body can cause gastrointestinal discomfort, bad breath, pigmentation spots, and other symptoms, weakening organ functions and reducing resistance.

2. Obesity

If your weight exceeds the standard weight by 20%, or if your Body Mass Index [weight (kilograms) / body surface area (square meters)] is greater than 24, then you are considered obese. Obesity is a disease caused by excessive nutrition. If high-fat and high-calorie foods are consumed excessively over a long period, toxins will breed within the body, causing an imbalance in the system, leading to obesity. In addition to symptoms such as weakness, inconvenience in movement, shortness of breath during actions, palpitations, heat intolerance, excessive sweating, or pain in the waist and lower limb joints, most patients also have abnormalities in the metabolism of substances like sugar, fat, water, and endocrine systems.

3. Melasma

Changes in endocrine function, prolonged use of oral contraceptives, liver diseases, tumors, chronic alcohol poisoning, and sun exposure are all causes of melasma. Everyone hopes for a good complexion, but at some point, patches of yellowish-brown or dark black appear on your face. These map-like or butterfly-shaped patches rob the skin of its original wateriness and luster.

4. Acne

Acne is a chronic inflammatory skin condition of the hair follicles and sebaceous glands. Various toxins produce large amounts of harmful substances under bacterial action, endangering the entire body through blood circulation; when their expulsion is obstructed, they seep out through the skin, making the skin rough and causing acne. Additionally, deficiencies in trace elements, mental stress, and high-fat or high-carbohydrate diets are all inducers of acne. Therefore, we should not only focus on the "surface" but also neglect the "internal environmental protection."

5. Bad Breath

Bad breath refers to a symptom where the breath smells foul, often caused by accumulated heat in the lungs, spleen, and stomach or undigested food that turns into toxins within the body. Overindulgence in spicy foods, binge eating, fatigue, heat invasion, stagnation of false fire, or certain oral diseases like mouth ulcers, cavities, as well as digestive system diseases, can all lead to unpleasant breath.

6. Skin Itching

The skin is the largest detoxifying organ of the human body. The sweat glands and sebaceous glands on the skin can expel toxins that other organs cannot handle through sweating. External stimuli, irregular living habits, mental tension, and endocrine disorders weaken this function of the skin, triggering itching. Chronic gastritis: This is caused by lack of dietary restraint, weak spleen and stomach, and excessive work-rest imbalance, resulting in various chronic gastric mucosa inflammations, forming symptoms of toxin accumulation and blocked blood and qi circulation.
