Detox in the current era has reached a ‘buzzword’ status. In a typical store, one can expect many products touting to cleanse and rid the body of accumulated toxins. Detox diets, detox exercises, and detox superfoods have become common in online spaces. Many Wellness Resorts in India have also begun using the term to define an experience.
Why? Aside from marketing pushes, there seems to be demand awareness among people. Detox is understood as necessary. Unfortunately, it is not achieved in the most holistic manner as one-sided approaches avoid the complete picture.
Let’s consider a ‘Detox Diet’, often consisting of ‘superfoods’ and specific portions. At best, these diets can avoid introducing new toxins to the body. At worst, such diets may be extremely restrictive, resorting to starvation or withholding nutrients required by the body. Recent research, such as A. V. Kein and H. Hiat’s ‘Detox diets for toxin elimination and weight management: A critical review of the evidence’, concludes by stating a lack of compelling evidence to support detox diets. Research by E. Ernst in his paper ‘Alternative detox’ outright dismisses detox as a marketing gimmick and a hoax, stating that “AD (Alternative detox) is a big business.”
In many ways, the term ‘Detox’ is suffering the same challenges as the term ‘Wellness’ and sees further usage as a buzzword, taking it away from what it truly represents. If so, what is true Detox?
As a premier Detox Retreat near Mumbai, the Dharana Wellness Retreat’s Art of Detox programme explores evidence-based methods for cleansing and recovery. This approach examines why detox is necessary, not just partaking in it as a buzzword. The Dharana experts identified that toxins block the absorption of essential nutrients, causing severe sluggishness in metabolism. Such a scenario quickly forms a cycle, where the body now lacks the energy to detox naturally, thus losing out more nutrients. Here is how the Dharana Wellness Retreat teaches you the Art of Detox:
