The science of detoxification is a very vast science that requires in-depth study.
Many factors must be taken into consideration, such as the season, the climate, the individual, and the differences that exist between each detox.
Indeed, this requires a detailed knowledge of anatomy, and of the function performed by each organ, in order to provide a complete and effective remedy.
Here are 5 practical tips before doing a detox course:
1 – Get a nutritional assessment from a health professional to make sure there is no medical contraindication.
2 – Start the detox course in spring, which is the ideal season.
3 – Adopt a healthy lifestyle and a balanced diet in order to eliminate all toxins.
4 – Practice a physical activity to ensure mental and physical balance.
5 – Observe fasting, which is an essential ally in purifying the body of its toxins.
What the science says: detox and drainage
Here is what published research says about the remedies mentioned above, for context — these studies concern material causes; healing belongs to Allah.
Detox and drainage
The body "detoxifies" itself through the liver, kidneys, intestines, skin, and lungs: supporting this process comes down to fiber (Am J Clin Nutr, 2022), hydration, fasting (BMJ, 2025), liver-supporting plants such as milk thistle (World J Gastroenterol, 2017), and physical activity. Aggressive "cleanses" have no proven benefit and carry risks (Am J Gastroenterol, 2009). Precaution: no purges or enemas without medical advice, and no detox course during pregnancy; heavy-metal "chelators" should only be used under prescription.
