The “Layered Detox” Principle
In both Homeopathy and Homeobotanical therapy, detox isn’t a single purge, it’s a layered process:
Identify and open the elimination channels (liver, kidneys, lymph, gut).
Bind and neutralise stored toxins (with algae, roots, and minerals).
Release and balance emotional and endocrine systems.
Rebuild — nourish tissues and restore vitality.
This approach honours the body’s natural intelligence and avoids “detox crashes” common with harsh cleansing programs.
