14. Oil Pulling
This simple, age-old therapy works as a natural detoxifier by pulling toxins from deep within the tissues of the body. In addition to detoxing, oil pulling fights problems such as bad breath, gum disease, and tooth decay due to the antimicrobial compounds in the oil. This ancient Ayurvedic compound can offer some serious relief from things like constipation, cold sores, candida infections, and other problems. For this therapy to work, you need to do it first thing each morning, on an empty stomach, before you brush your teeth and before you eat or drink anything.
Take one tablespoon of either coconut oil, sunflower oil, or sesame seed oil in your mouth and swish it around like you would a mouthwash for ten minutes or until the oil becomes thin, milky looking, and foamy. It might take less than ten minutes the first few times you do this as the oil removes toxic buildup. When you are finished, spit out the oil into the trash can (don’t spit it in the sink or toilet where the oil can harden and cause a clog), and then rinse your mouth with water. Do this for at least two weeks to see results you won’t believe.

15. Licorice Root
This is one of the best herbal teas for detoxification, as well as for liver support. Licorice root will curb sugar cravings, which will go a long way toward helping to detox the liver. Sugar consumption impedes detox efforts. Licorice root is also a terrific anti-inflammatory, anti-allergic, immune system-improving compounds. Licorice root will also help you when you have a cold or the flu, as it has expectorant and super soothing compounds for the lungs. Drink one cup of licorice root tea each day over a two week period. Licorice root is a powerful herb that can cause very unpleasant side effects, such as retention of salt and increased blood pressure if you consume too much. If you suffer from hypertension or any other type of chronic health problem, you should speak with your doctor before consuming licorice root.
In addition to the remedies above, you should also maintain a healthy lifestyle. For example, eating plenty of high fiber foods will encourage the body to have regular bowel movements, which is an important part of the natural detoxification process. Avoid alcoholic beverages while you are detoxing, as well as saturated fats, refined sugar, and cigarettes. Learn to manage your stress levels by practicing meditation and yoga or deep breathing exercises.
A proper cleansing program will go a long way towards helping you feel great and achieving amazing health benefits.
