Toxic overload

Toxins are all around us – pesticides in food, chlorine in tap water, pollutants in our air.

Hong Kong has only 50 safe air days per year, according to the World Health Organisation.

Toxins are the source of many health concerns. Though our bodies have a natural capacity for detox, in our modern world, our requirements for detox outweigh our protective mechanisms. 

How do toxins affect me?

Toxins affect all of your tissues. Symptoms that you may dismiss as a part of daily life could in fact be a sign from your body that it’s suffering with toxic overload.

Gut symptoms range from bloating to irregular bowel movements or weight gain. They may be coupled with fatigue, spotty skin, or cravings for sweet things.

When it comes to the brain, constant tiredness and brain fog are common symptoms. Your mental health may also be affected – causing anxiety, depression and mood swings. And – it’s proven, chemical toxicity from pollutants like pesticides and heavy metals bombard the brain.

Your liver, immunity, eyesight, balance, joint health and circulation can all suffer from toxic overload.

After a thorough assessment, our naturopaths identify the right tests to clearly define your toxin levels.

Our industry leading tests assess a wide range of toxins. From mould, to gut toxins, heavy metals and pollutants.

For clients seeking a comprehensive approach, you may choose to pinpoint toxins, test your DNA and identify missing detoxification enzymes.

Our naturopaths personalise your treatment plan to eliminate toxins and optimise your capacity for detox.

Though some of the causes of toxic exposure, like air pollution, are unavoidable, there are many causes that can be minimised by lifestyle changes.

Diet. Food packaging. Skincare. Household cleaning products.

Adapting your lifestyle and home environment is key for minimising exposure. Our naturopaths can teach you how to protect your home.

Our naturopaths clearly define the source of toxic overload through careful assessment and diagnostic testing. They’ll then identify the correct course of treatment to heal your symptoms and get you back to feeling your best.

Treatment may include personalised herbal tinctures using high quality ingredients, clinical grade supplements or homeopathic remedies designed to safely remove toxins.

Led by clinical detox experts, our detox programmes offer several options for treatment, from group detox, 1:1 treatment and a ten day detox plan.
