Sleep has a restorative capacity and function.  It is a time to reduce the body’s toxic load.  Helping the body’s organs to detoxify through diet, nutrition and drainage remedies can be helpful in restoring homeostasis (balance) and as a result improve sleep.  In a healthy person, the body’s detoxification system is able to neutralize and eliminate toxins.  As a result, tissue damage and illness are prevented (or at least minimized).  Organs involved in detoxification include the liver, kidneys, lungs, intestines, skin and lymphatic system.  Toxic overload can stress and sometimes overwhelm these organ systems.  The result can include accelerated aging, chronic degenerative diseases, and disturbances in sleep.
