There are different schools of thoughts on cleansing the body.

One school of thought is to irritate the body to cause a cleansing reaction. This includes enemas, herbs, colon-cleanses, saltwater flushes, senna teas, salt baths, etc. What they do is really cause the body to become irritated so that it expells things quickly. Sometimes they'll cause more mucus in the body to protect it from an unfriendly and irritating visitor.

This type of cleansing can be harsh but it is a way that many people utilize speedier detox.

The other school of thought is to let nothing harm the body. Anything that can irritate the body such as the above, even things like sea salt, garlic and onions are not eaten as they cause irritation to the body.

This is a different way to allow the body to cleanse and heal on its own time without being forced to cleanse via irritation.

Hope that information helps.
