Medical Detox

What is Holistic Medicine?

Holistic medicine is the evaluation of the human body not only as a whole, but also as a system interacting with its environment. In the holistic approach applied by Dr. Nurcivan Ünsal Üz, each part of the body should work in harmony with each other. Therefore, an illness or disease is not only treated by treating the symptoms, but also by improving the health of the entire body, mind and soul. This understanding is also reflected in medical detox practices. Medical detox is the process of cleaning toxins from the body. However, this process is not just about physical cleansing. Holistic medicine takes into account the spiritual and mental health of the person while improving the health of the body.

Goals of Medical Detox

The main purpose of medical detox is to cleanse the body of harmful substances, improve overall health and strengthen the immune system. However, in this process, a holistic healing is provided to the body with a holistic medical approach to provide a deeper healing.

Purification from Toxins: Harmful substances that enter the body can accumulate over time and cause health problems. Medical detox ensures that these accumulated toxins are removed from the body.

Metabolism and Digestive System Support: The detox process encourages the digestive system to function properly and speeds up metabolism.

Mental and Spiritual Renewal: Removing toxins from the body improves not only physical health but also mental health. The person can look at life with a clearer mind.

Strengthening the Immune System: Thanks to detox, the immune system is strengthened and the body becomes more resistant to diseases.

Increased Energy Level: As the body is purified from toxins, an increase in energy levels is observed. This increases the person's overall quality of life.

Methods of Medical Detox

Dr. Nurcivan Ünsal Üz's holistic medical approach aims to heal the body not only physiologically but also emotionally and mentally. Therefore, the medical detox process involves a multifaceted approach.

Nutritional Regulations

Holistic medicine emphasizes that healthy nutrition is essential. Medical detox is based on proper nutrition so that the body can be cleansed of toxins in a healthy way. The body is provided with organic and clean foods with high nutritional value. It is also important to stay away from processed foods, sugar, alcohol and cigarettes. Dr. Nurcivan Ünsal Üz generally recommends consuming the following foods in the diet:

Green Leafy Vegetables: Helps cleanse the liver.
Antioxidants: Fruits like blueberries and pomegranates neutralize free radicals.
Fibrous Foods: Regulate digestion and improve intestinal health.
Water Consumption: Drinking enough water is the most important element in removing toxins from the body.

Physical Cleaning and Massage Therapies

Physical therapies are also an important part of medical detox. Massage therapies, body wraps, and saunas can be used to help flush out toxins that have accumulated in the body. These types of treatments help the body sweat out toxins and provide relief by reducing muscle tension.

Herbal Treatments and Supplements

Herbal treatment methods are frequently used in holistic medicine. During the detox process, herbal teas and supplements that will help cleanse the body are preferred. In particular, plants that are used to cleanse the liver and kidneys are used. Plants such as fenugreek, ginger, fennel and aloe vera can help remove toxins from the body.

Mental and Emotional Cleansing

Medical detox is not only a physical but also a mental and emotional cleansing process. Holistic medicine recognizes that stress damages the body and mind. Therefore, stress management techniques, meditation, deep breathing exercises and yoga are an important part of the detox process. These methods provide mental clarity, emotional balance and spiritual peace.

Physical Activity

Light exercises play an important role in removing toxins from the body. Regular physical activities help to eliminate toxins by accelerating blood circulation. Light exercises such as yoga and tai chi relax both the body and the mind, and contribute greatly to the detox process.

Benefits of Medical Detox

Medical detox provides many important benefits for a healthy life, beyond cleansing the body of toxins. Harmful substances that enter the body can accumulate over time and weaken the immune system, prevent the metabolism from working properly, and lead to various health problems. The medical detox process helps strengthen the immune system by removing these toxins from the body. Thanks to detox, organs such as the liver, kidneys, and digestive system are relieved of the burden on them and begin to work more efficiently. As a result, digestion becomes healthier, and problems such as bloating and constipation decrease. In addition, the body becomes more efficient in energy production, allowing the person to feel more vigorous and lively. The skin is also positively affected by this process; the removal of toxins makes the skin look cleaner, smoother, and brighter. Another important benefit of medical detox is that it improves mental and emotional health. The removal of toxins from the body positively affects brain functions, eliminates mental confusion, and increases focus. In addition, emotional burdens such as stress and anxiety can become even more intense due to the toxins accumulated in the body. The detox process provides a more balanced state of mind by alleviating such emotional discomfort. In the holistic medical approach, it is important for the body and mind to work in harmony, so medical detox provides not only physical but also emotional and spiritual healing, providing the person with a more peaceful life. Medical detox not only provides physical purification, but also allows the person to regain their inner balance and peace, thus achieving a healthy body as well as a healthy mind and soul.
