Detoxification and intestinal cleansing are beneficial for health, weight loss, and skin rejuvenation. How to effectively detoxify and cleanse the intestines? Below are some recommended detoxification methods: breathing techniques combined with massage – a top choice for detoxification and skin rejuvenation. Let's take a look at effective detoxification methods.
Breathing exercises: purifying the respiratory tract
Most of the time, breathing is an unconscious reflex, and the volume of air inhaled into the lungs each time is very limited. In fact, the faster the breathing rate, the smaller the volume of air inhaled. The oxygen that is painstakingly inhaled doesn't have time to be utilized before it is exhaled again. Coupled with short exhalations, this causes waste carbon dioxide to remain in the lungs. Therefore, instead of taking a hundred short breaths, it is better to frequently practice deep breathing or even diaphragmatic breathing to help accelerate the metabolism of waste products in the body and purify the blood.
Specific methods:
1. Press your right nostril closed with your thumb, exhale the remaining air through your left nostril, and then inhale the air through your left nostril;
2. Release your thumb, press your left nostril closed with your ring and little fingers, exhale through your right nostril, and then inhale through your right nostril. Then press your right nostril closed with your thumb and exhale through your left nostril. Repeat this process, doing 10 sets of breaths each time.
Note: Begin and end your breath through your left nostril. Exhale slowly, taking twice the time it takes to inhale.
Massage: Promotes metabolism
To achieve detoxification through massage, it's essential to understand the correct method. First, the massage techniques are crucial; it's not simply about rubbing and squeezing. Instead, you should "strok" along the lymphatic flow, massaging from the extremities towards the heart. For example, when massaging the legs, use both hands to massage from the ankles to the knees and then to the hips, moving upwards. This helps promote lymphatic and blood flow, boosting muscle metabolism, providing cells with more nutrients to accelerate waste elimination.
