In this book, you can have a thorough understanding on different categories of toxins (internal and external), how to check for toxins in your body and then how to get rid of them with the traditional Chinese medicine (TCM) approach.
First of all, you may easily find ways of assessing your health status using TCM approach, i.e. by the five zang organs (the heart, liver, spleen, lungs and kidneys). In fact, any substance that cannot be discharged quickly and cause an imbalance in your body can be called a toxin. The author provided different tests to help you identify the toxins in any of your organs. Afterward, you can follow the simple instructions of TCM natural detoxification therapy, including food (diet and tea) therapy and self-massage.

Let’s learn from the wisdom of TCM to achieve good health and beauty naturally and effectively.
