It’s no secret that detoxing, in other words ridding the system of impurities and toxins, does the body good. And there’s no shortage of ways to do so—from various yoga twists, which wring toxins from the inside out, to more sophisticated wellness trends like infrared sauna studios, which help you sweat out all the bad stuff thanks to the heat and specialized lighting. While these types of detoxification techniques work to achieve the goal of optimal body functioning, sometimes your body requires an extra boost to flush out all of toxins that build up over time. Below find a few of our favorite natural supplements that can help you accomplish a full body detox.

Roasted Dandelion Root Tea

By helping balance and maintain the proper amount of bile naturally, dandelion root is known to aid in the detoxification process as bile, which is produced by the liver, ensures the body is able to break down fats in order filter and detoxify our blood. Therefore the naturally occurring vitamins and nutrients found in the dandelion root help cleanse the liver to help the digestive system function optimally. The benefits of the root can best be absorbed in tea form, which is why dandelion root tea is commonly dubbed “detox” tea.

Magnesium Bath Salts

Make your evening bath ritual a relaxing yet detoxifying one with magnesium-infused bath salts. When absorbed internally, magnesium helps cleanse the body by supporting the body’s elimination process through both the skin and colon. Particularly through the bath salts, magnesium draws toxins and impurities out through the skin. Maintaining a sufficient level of magnesium is also crucial for the production of energy and cell health, which supports the body’s detoxification process in removing toxins, including heavy metals.

Activated Charcoal 

Activated charcoal (note: this is not the same kind of charcoal used in your grill) is one of the most efficient supplements known to aid with an internal detox. Toxins and other foreign agents bind to the charcoal’s porous surface, which traps and flushes the toxins, preventing absorption by the body. Activated charcoal cleanses the overall digestive tract through adsorption of pesticides, bacteria, and other harmful substances, which can wreak havoc on the system when unintentionally ingested. These can be naturally eliminated when trapped and removed by the charcoal before the body is affected. It is essential to drink more than enough water, which works in tandem with the charcoal to flush the impurities from the system.
