Detox is loosely defined as quitting or ridding the body of toxic or unhealthy substances. For some people, this includes things that are toxic for the mind and the emotions. It’s about resting, cleansing, and giving the body what it needs from the inside out.

When we remove and get rid of the toxins in our bodies and the stress in our lives, we are better protected from disease and stay healthier, longer. Since there are so many methods for how to detox, it can feel overwhelming. But when we are faced with choices, it’s a good idea to look to astrology and our zodiac signs to see what it says on the subject.

There are many ways to detox and it’s easy to personalize a way that works best for you. It can also be a question of time; you might not have the time or energy to do a 28-day detox, so you want something that may only take a few hours.

You do what’s best for you. Sometimes the things we do to detox become a beneficial habit, like staying hydrated, eating clean, or taking supplements. But you don’t need to feel like you must do something you're uncomfortable with; instead, focus on what you need to do for your own well-being.
