The person who said nothing tastes as good as healthy feels must have had detoxing in mind. Detoxing typically brings feelings of improved health, and once you start feeling better you’ll have fewer cravings, enjoy more of what life has to offer, and embrace the reality of achieving longer-term health goals.
The goDésana Organics WholeBodyTM Detox is both an Essential Oil protocol and a sensible approach to weight loss. It will support and assist the body in releasing stored toxins, including petrochemicals, while also effectively reducing the size of fat cells, eliminating cellulite, and improving insulin sensitivity.

WholeBodyTM Detox Benefits
L-Stimulate Lymphatic DetoxThe biggest drain we have in the body is the lymphatic system. Unfortunately, it can stay clogged for many years without us ever knowing. When our lymphatic system is clogged, the normally clear lymph fluid becomes sluggish and stagnant, changing from a consistency similar to water to one more like milk, then yogurt, and finally to the consistency of cottage cheese.
Factors that can contribute to a clogged lymphatic system include chronic constipation, physical and emotional life stressors, environmental toxins, heavy metals and chemicals, inflammation, infections, injuries and surgery (scar tissue and adhesions), bruises and traumas, food allergies, poor diet, tight clothing, lack of exercise, hormonal imbalances, structural misalignment, the normal aging process, and genetic predisposition.
1 in 3 WomenThe underarm lymph nodes are especially important as they filter nearby tissues including the hands, arms, breasts, and chest region. Of particular interest is the fact that about one in three women with breast cancer have cancer cells in the lymph nodes of their armpits when their breast cancer is diagnosed.
Our blood works much like a two-way street; one way delivering nutrition and oxygen to our cells, and the other way carrying out the “trash”. Detoxing can assist with clearing the bloodstream, allowing nutrition and oxygen to be delivered while toxins and petrochemicals are eliminated from the body. Pain and inflammation are often relieved when toxins released from fat cells, muscles, ligaments, and tissues are carried away by the bloodstream.
The L-Stimulate 15-Minute Lymphatic Detox Massage can easily be done yourself when you focus on the lymph nodes found in the front of the body. Use a very light touch as 70% of your lymphatic vessels are located just underneath the skin, and if you use too much pressure you bypass these vessels. The results of this massage are relaxing, detoxing, and healing on many levels.
Step 1: CollarbonePlace fingertips at the base of the neck, on the upper edge of the clavicle. Using a light touch, stretch the skin toward the sternal notch. Use a slow three-second stretch, then release completely for three seconds. Repeat four times.
Step 2: Spinal ChainPlace the pads of the fingers along the sides of the neck. Using a light touch, stretch the skin slightly forward and then down toward the clavicle. The total stretching movement should last three seconds, then be released completely for three seconds. Repeat four times.
Step 3: Back Chain (Trapezius)Place fingers on top of the muscle at the back of the shoulders. Using a light touch, stretch the skin in a curving motion toward the outer shoulder, and then slightly forward. Total stretching movement should last three seconds, then be released completely for three seconds. Repeat four times.
Step 4: Armpits (Axilla)Lift one arm slightly and place the fingertips of the opposite hand in the peak of the armpit. Push gently inward, toward the center of the body, for three seconds and then release completely for three seconds. Repeat four times. Switch arms and repeat entire process on opposite arm.
Step 5: ChestMassage the chest in a gentle sweeping motion directed toward the arm. Gently stretch the skin and release, repeating this motion 10 to 15 times on each side of the chest.
Step 6: Groin (Inguinals)Place fingertips on the crease between the leg and pelvis. Using light pressure, stretch the skin upward approximately one inch. Use a slow three-second stretch, then release completely for three seconds. Repeat four times. Switch legs and repeat entire process on opposite leg.
Step 7: ArmsUsing a light touch, massage the entire arm toward the head. Gently stretch the skin, beginning at the shoulder and working toward the wrist. The total stretching movement should last three seconds, then be released completely for three seconds. Repeat upward motion 10-15 times on each arm.
Step 8: Hands & FingersMassage fingers by placing the index finger and thumb at the base of each finger and gently stretching the skin toward the hand. Massage back of hand and palm by gently stretching the skin toward the forearm and releasing. Repeat motion 10-15 times on each hand.
Body Brushing BasicsYou will need one goDésana Organics natural fiber body brush. Take 5 minutes to brush daily before your shower. Always brush when your skin is dry, using light strokes as if you are stroking a baby. Gently glide your goDésana Organics body brush over your skin using straight strokes. Your goal is to exfoliate the top layers of the skin by repeating the strokes five times in each area.
Brush from your feet up. Be sure to brush the tops and bottoms of your feet and in between your toes. Brush your palms, backs of your hands and in between your fingers, always brushing toward the heart. Brush your back and buttocks in the same manner, being thorough over areas of cellulite.

DRY BODY BRUSHINGIn addition to decreasing bloating, dry brushing has been shown to remove dead skin cells, increase circulation, and help the lymphatic system work better. Dry body brushing has also been shown to keep the urinary system working properly, as the skin is known as the third kidney. Additionally, when we dry skin brush, our bodies are better able to absorb the therapeutic chemical constituents of goDésana Organics Essential Oils applied topically.
BIOMINERALSCongestion of the lymphatic system is also commonly caused by an Iodine, Magnesium, and mineral deficiency. Iodine and Magnesium both help protect the body from the toxic environment we live in (with radiation and other pollutants), and supports our lymphatic system at a cellular level. Additionally, they can assist with detoxing the liver. Adults should take one full dropper each of Iodine beBalanced and Magnesium beCalm sublingually (under tongue) or added to a small amount of water once in the morning and once at night. Hold in mouth for 60 seconds before swallowing. Adults should also take 10 drops of Cell Vitality mixed with 16 ounces of water, to be sipped throughout the day.
BREATHE MORE Breathing serves as the pump for the lymphatic system, just as the heart serves the circulatory system. Breathing deeply from the diaphragm, not shallowly from the chest, and through the nose rather than the mouth, is another great way to move lymph fluid through your body. An investigation of the clinical effects of aromatic Essential Oils in patients with upper respiratory tract infections was made by the Complementary and Traditional Medicine Unit in the Department of Family Medicine at Technion-Israel Institute of Technology in Israel. A spray solution with aromatic Essential Oils, including Peppermint Essential Oil, was administered to 60 study participants. The conclusion from the investigation was that the application of the spray brought a significant and immediate improvement to upper respiratory symptoms. Mix 20 drops with 4 ounces of distilled water in a cobalt blue glass or PET plastic bottle, shake well and while breathing deeply mist into the environment, being careful not to get into the eyes.
MOVE MOREJumping rope, on a rebounder, or just in place, just five minutes a day is a great way to get your lymph system pumping. What’s important is that you make physical activity a regular and joy-inducing part of your life.
SWEAT MOREA weekly sauna or steam bath is a great way to facilitate a healthy sweat, and sweating helps detoxify the body which supports your lymphatic function. Avoid aluminum-based antiperspirants, they block sweating and add to your toxic load. For a natural, safe alternative try goDésana Organics L-Stimulate Deodorant.
In case you haven’t heard, getting enough water in our diet is kind of a big deal. This wondrous planet we call Mother Earth is colored by, and bathed in, water. If you look down at our planet from outer space, most of what you see is water; 71% of the planet’s surface is covered by ocean and it is because of this that the Earth is sometimes called “the water planet”.
Like planet earth, we are also comprised mostly of water. Did you know that on average, water makes up 60 - 70% of body weight, 70-75% of our muscle cells, 75% of our brain, 86% of our lungs, 85% of our liver, 83% of our kidneys, 83% of our blood, and 22% of our bones. In the same way, that water is the key to all living life on earth, it is also the key to optimal health. Water and most importantly, hydration of our cells, is the simplest and most dramatic way we can affect our overall health.
Enhance Water For Enhanced HydrationIt doesn’t matter how much water you drink, it is how much water your cells absorb that matters. The pathways that lead to your cells and allow water into the cells are mineral and nutrient based. The water you drink should be enhanced with plant-based vitamins, water-soluble ionic minerals, micro-nutrients, phyto-nutrients, chlorophyll, and enhanced to increase alkalinity for optimal absorption. By simply exchanging our body water with water that is enhanced we can assist the body with an increase in overall health and well-being.
Drinking half your body weight, daily, over a period of 30 days is a good formula for exchanging your body water on a regular monthly schedule.
For example, for every 50 pounds of body weight you would drink 3 cups (8 ounce) of enhanced water.

How Should You Drink?Smaller amounts more frequently are the preferred method for optimal hydration. Sip, sip, sip, and use a straw when you can; your body can better receive hydration when you provide smaller amounts more frequently. Keep in mind that when you drink acidic drinks like soda and coffee it requires 20 cups of healthy, nutritious water to diffuse 1 cup of the acidic beverage.
