Detoxification is considered an important treatment strategy for integrative medicine practitioners, natural therapists, and herbalists. Despite the popularity of ‘detoxification’, the term ‘toxin’ remains poorly defined. In this mini masterclass we will define toxins and examine the impact they can have on our health and wellbeing. We examine the physiology of detoxification and the role of aromatherapy and other holistic therapies such as herbal medicine and nutrition in the detoxification treatment.
