Lyme disease is widely regarded as an incurable illness; however, it is possible to alleviate many of its symptoms with bodily cleansing and detoxifying. If you have this disease, your immune system must fight the toxins tick-borne ailments release into the blood and combat environmental toxins such as heavy metals and parasites. Here, acupuncturist and holistic health expert Marie Gonzales, L.Ac. of Nyack, NY, provides springtime detox tips to manage your Lyme disease symptoms and enjoy a healthier lifestyle.

How to Detox Your Body When You Have Lyme Disease

1. Dry Brush Your Body

Use a dry brush on your body every morning before you shower and get ready for the day. Dry brushing stimulates lymphatic drainage, improves nervous system function, boosts blood circulation, and promotes healthy immune system function to help your body eliminate toxins. Focus on long, sweeping strokes toward the heart.

2. Take Detoxifying Baths

Take detoxifying baths regularly with an emphasis on foot detox. The IonCleanse® Detox Foot Bath, for example, helps purify the body via water electrolysis. It removes toxins and cellular debris the body can’t eliminate, such as those contributing to fatigue, rashes, swelling, headaches, and insomnia.

3. Cleanse Your Organs

Help your organs and blood flush out toxins with supplements and a diet rich in fruits and vegetables. You should start with your colon since your gut features a heavy concentration of lymph tissue known as GALT (gut-associated lymph tissue) and MALT (mucosal-associated lymph tissue). Use psyllium husk for the recommended duration before cleansing the liver, kidneys, and blood with different supplements and foods.

4. Schedule Cupping Therapy

Schedule routine cupping therapy to remove toxins from your body and enjoy more radiant health. An ancient natural healing technique that dates back thousands of years, cupping uses heated suction cups to draw out bodily toxins.
