| | | Body Cleansing
Also known as Detoxification, it is a program of fasting and elimination of toxins to maintain body health.
Body cleansing therapy can be a part of supplementary alternative medical treatments, and proponents maintain that a cleansed, detoxified body will not only be able to heal itself from a variety of common ailments, such as acne, allergies and colitis, but will also promote general health and longevity.
Some techniques of body cleansing focus on the entire body, while others aim to detoxify specific organs, such as the colon, kidneys or liver.
A variety of body cleansing systems are available on the market today involving both internal and external cleansing methods.
Externally, body cleansing through milk baths and mud masques can remove unsightly impurities from the skin that showering alone cannot.
Internally, body cleansing systems that involve a spa-like treatment are detoxification treatments. These treatments involve colonic cleansings through the use of coffee or saline solutions injected into the rectum to flush out the colon. Such procedures are usually very time consuming and often painful.
Another option to the internal body cleansing systems is to use natural body cleansing through water showers. Using a bidet shower head attached adjacent to the toilet can serve as an alternative to abrasive toilet papers. Also a bidet attached to the toilet provides a warm, cleansing sensation that is not harsh or harmful.

Occultopedia is the genuine article, the
original and the best internet index of the extraordinary and uncanny,
shamelessly copied by many, but never equaled. Online since 1995 — at first in a free web space provider
(Tripod.com), and in 1997 finally
with its own domain name and hosting — Occultopedia still is the
principal online resource for those looking for the unexplained, the
curious and the unusual. |

such, no cookies or any other tracking software will be installed as a
part of this website's original programming. I do not seek to obtain any personal information

Occultopedia may appear to be a for profit site, but my site is
not in reality a commercial one. All of the commercial links are from affiliate
programs, and the little revenue I get from these is to pay for hosting,
bandwidth — that can be quite costly if you have a lot of traffic, graphics and
pages — and any other expenses related to Occultopedia's upkeep, support, and maintenance.
