The “Layered Detox” Principle


In both Homeopathy and Homeobotanical therapy, detox isn’t a single purge, it’s a layered process:


  1. Identify and open the elimination channels (liver, kidneys, lymph, gut).

  2. Bind and neutralise stored toxins (with algae, roots, and minerals).

  3. Release and balance emotional and endocrine systems.

  4. Rebuild — nourish tissues and restore vitality.


This approach honours the body’s natural intelligence and avoids “detox crashes” common with harsh cleansing programs.
