Why detox?

It gives our internal organs a rest – by removing fibre from our food our digestive system rests and starts to remove any excess food or fluid we may be carrying while enhancing the body’s elimination of toxins that have built up in the digestive system. It is about cleaning out the system, breaking old patterns and replacing them with new ones.
