Kidneys — Your Fluid Filter

Your kidneys filter your blood, removing waste and excess fluids through urine. They also help regulate minerals and blood pressure. Dehydration, high toxin exposure, or poor diet can strain kidney function.

Simple tips for Kidney Support:

• Drink 1.5–2 litres of filtered water daily, be mindful if you are exercising you will need more.
• Minimize high-sodium processed foods
• Magnesium although it doesn’t directly “detoxify” the kidneys, but it supports the body’s natural detoxification processes by helping maintain healthy electrolyte levels and fluid balance - both essential for optimal kidney filtration and waste removal.

Lymphatic System — Your Waste Disposal Highway

Your lymphatic system moves fluid, carries immune cells, and clears cellular waste. Unlike blood, lymph fluid doesn’t have a pump — it relies on movement to flow. If stagnant, it can contribute to swelling, immune dysfunction, and toxin build-up.

How to get your lymph moving:

• Move daily: walking, yoga, or gentle rebounding (mini trampoline)
• Dry brushing or lymphatic massage
• Stay hydrated

Gut — Your Elimination Pathway

Your digestive system, especially your gut microbiome, plays a huge role in eliminating toxins and used hormones. Poor gut health slows detoxification, leading to reabsorption of toxins and chronic inflammation.

Simple diet inclusions to 

• Make sure you are having 1-3 healthy bowel motions a day
• Eat high-fiber foods (flaxseeds, chia, oats, vegetables)
• Include fermented foods like sauerkraut or kefir
• Stay Hydrated

Skin & Lungs — Your External Detox Organs

Your skin and lungs help release toxins through sweat and breath. You Skin being the largest organ will also absorbs chemicals in your personal care products. Lungs filter airborne pollutants.

Simple tips to support your skin and lungs:

• Choose natural skincare like our UnderBalm in reducing the toxic load on your body
• Choose natural cleaning products
• Engage in activities that make you sweat (exercise, sauna)
• Practice deep breathing exercises in clean, fresh air

What goes on your skin matters

— choose natural alternatives that support your body’s detox pathways, not burden them.

Final Thoughts

Your detox system isn’t just about a yearly or twice yearly “cleanse”, it’s your body’s frontline defense against chronic disease and cancer. Nourishing your skin with natural skin care, eating clean and supporting your liver, gut, lymphatics and elimination pathways can dramatically reduce inflammation, improve resilience, and restore balance.

In a world where we can’t avoid every toxin, the goal is to build a body that can adapt, respond, and clear waste efficiently.

Your health starts with how well you eliminate what you don’t need. Let’s make sure your detox systems are up to the task.
