Every now and then I ask myself – how do I know that my body needs detoxing? The answer is simple: because of the way we live today. Even if we live consciously, eat organically, and care for movement and mental peace – toxins from the environment still reach us. That’s why it’s wise to eliminate them regularly.
In this article, I share tried and tested natural detox methods that helped me on my journey to health. May they inspire and support you, so your body can shine again too.
Signs your body needs detox
- Fatigue without a clear reason
- Headaches, brain fog
- Skin issues (rashes, acne, itchiness)
- Hormonal imbalance
- Digestive discomfort, bloating
- Low mood, anxiety
Main sources of toxins and why detox is important
- Food
Even when we try to choose healthy options, residues of pesticides, herbicides, antibiotics, and hormones are present in conventionally grown food. If it’s not 100% organic, we’re ingesting unwanted substances with every bite. Even organic food is not always free from environmental pollutants in air or soil. - Water
Although many believe Slovenian water is good, it often contains inorganic substances that accumulate in the body. Moreover, traces of medications (e.g. contraceptive pills) seep into the groundwater. Whenever possible, choose water from trusted natural springs – living water full of natural energy. - Air
The air we breathe in cities and near busy roads contains microscopic particles, exhaust fumes, rubber dust from tires, industrial emissions, and dry-cleaning chemicals. These strain our lungs and blood, quickly acidifying the body. - Stress
Emotional stress is proven to acidify the body. Worry, anger, and feelings of helplessness all affect our cells. When we’re relaxed and smiling, we’re flooded with happy hormones that heal and alkalize the body. - Heavy metals and chemicals
Amalgam fillings, working with paints, inhaling dust, old heating systems – all can bring mercury, lead, and other metals into the body. These accumulate in nerves, liver, and bones, and are hard to eliminate without support. - Cosmetics and cleaning products
Our skin is our largest organ – what we apply to it goes into our bloodstream. Synthetic cosmetics, perfumes, and makeup are sources of toxins. The same goes for harsh cleaning products. Children are especially exposed to residues on the floor where they crawl and play.
Natural detox methods that really work
- Nutrition – the power of alkaline foods
The foundation of detox is food that doesn’t acidify the body. This means:
- Avoiding sugar, white flour, meat, dairy, processed and reheated foods
- Eating more raw, organic fruits and vegetables
- Green smoothies rich in chlorophyll (parsley, chard, spirulina…)
- Healthy substitutes: date paste, coconut sugar, oat or rice milk, tofu, seitan, buckwheat and chickpea flour…
You’re not depriving your body – you’re replacing foods with purer, more natural forms.
- Water
During detox, drink even more – 1.5 to 2 liters daily, excluding juices, alcohol, or coffee. The best choice is water from natural springs or at least filtered water. - Clay
Drinking purified clay internally is an excellent way to cleanse the body. Clay binds to toxins, viruses, bacteria, and excess acidity.
Instructions:
- In the evening, mix one teaspoon of clay in 200 ml of water (use a glass cup, no metal)
- In the morning on an empty stomach, drink only the liquid and discard the sediment
- Repeat for 21 days, then take a one-week break, and repeat again

- Chlorella – green power of algae
Chlorella is extremely effective in binding heavy metals (e.g., mercury). It binds metals from the bloodstream, supports liver detox, and helps regenerate cells. It is rich in chlorophyll and has an alkalizing effect.
My experience: During my journey with multiple sclerosis, I was completely poisoned with heavy metals, especially mercury. For a year and a half, I took 10 g of chlorella daily. When I later tested for heavy metals, the results showed that all markers were excellent. Chlorella played a key role in my healing, together with wild garlic and coriander tinctures.

- Coffee enemas
This is one of the most effective ways to support the liver. Organic coffee (pesticide-free!) helps widen bile ducts, making it easier for the liver to eliminate toxins.
Important: Do enemas mindfully, with proper hydration and calm. You can find full instructions in a dedicated post. - Movement in nature
Nature is the best medicine. Walking in the forest, jogging, yoga, cycling – all of these stimulate the lymphatic system, enhance breathing, and uplift mood. Nature also cleanses us energetically. - Hugs, laughter, and warmth
Every positive emotion alkalizes the body. Laughter, sincere conversation, and hugs can have a stronger effect than any supplement.
