6# Skin Problems
Aside from the liver, the skin also functions as a detoxifying organ. When the liver can’t remove the toxins inside your body, your skin takes over. When the skin tries to eliminate toxins, it can lead to rashes or excessive sweating.
If toxins can’t be eliminated in any other way, and they have to exit the body through your skin, it means that there’s a toxic overload in your body. Toxins can also clog the pores during the process of elimination leading to other more serious reactions.
That’s why toxins are generally seen as the root cause of acne, inflammation, eczema, wrinkles and dark circles regardless of how they’re absorbed.
7# Bad Breath
Digestive issues, and not improper tooth care, are often the cause of bad breath.
The thing is your digestive tract hosts a combination of beneficial and harmful bacteria. By consuming processed food you increase the amount of carbohydrates in the body. Then carbohydrates break down into excessive sugar, which harmful gut bacteria thrive on. It’s these bacteria that release toxins which deposit in your digestive system and mouth resulting in bad breath.
This condition can also be accompanied by white plaque buildup. Intestinal toxicity and indigestion can also be manifested through excessive burping, which is another vent for bad breath.
Last, but not least, bad breath may also be a symptom of kidney dysfunction, your kidneys being an important detoxifying organ which eliminates toxic chemicals from the blood by creating urine.
8# Body Overheating and Sweating
Toxin accumulation in the body normally signalizes compromised digestive system function.
This results in toxin-laden blood flow from the digestive tract to the liver. This means a lot more work for the liver, which exerts itself to cleanse the blood.
A liver that has overworked also gives warning signs and these normally include hot flashes and excessive sweating.
Although perspiration is a natural body mechanism of the skin to get rid of toxins, excessive sweating may actually indicate that your liver is working way too hard to detox your system.
9# Muscle Pain and Spasms
Excessive toxin levels in the body can trigger muscle pain and spasms without an actual injury.
What happens is that continual exposure to toxins from food, household cleaning products, cosmetics, and the environment triggers an immune response in the body, which strains the body’s stress-defense mechanism, and eventually weakens it. This stress affects every organ in the body, including the muscles.
When muscles are stressed, they tighten capillaries, and impede regular blood flow through the muscles, which in turn leads to oxygen deficiency and additional strain. Physical pain occurs when muscles try to fight the stress and get overworked.
Muscle pain, especially when accompanied by fatigue, is one of the major indicators of toxin buildup. An effective way to address this pain is massage therapy.
10# Insomnia
Last, but not least, insomnia is also a common symptom of toxic overload, especially among people working on farms and in factories, people consuming processed foods on regular basis, and people living in houses with toxic lead paint on their walls or using detergents and air fresheners that contain lead.
As mentioned above, the central nervous system is susceptible to absorbing certain substances known as lipophilic toxins. Once absorbed into the blood they travel to the brain and settle there causing sleep disorders.
The best time for the brain to flush out toxins is during sleep, but when sleep is compromised, this further impedes detoxification. If insomnia is something that you’ve been dealing with, it may be time to consider a detox program.
