The quality of life depends on the purity of the extra cellular matrix.

The three pillars of homotoxicology are drainage and detoxification, immunomodulation and organ and cell support. Drainage and detoxification is thus the first of the three pillars or fundamentals in antihomotoxic treatment of chronic diseases. Therefore detoxification may be the most important thing you can do for your health. We cannot over-emphasize the importance of detoxification to the average human being. General and specific  detoxification is safe, thorough and gentle.

From the point of view of homotoxicology diseases are the result of the body’s reaction to an intoxication.

At blue root & Wellness Center we use natural detoxification techniques to decrease toxic load, increase metabolism, improve cardiovascular function and enhance energy. Each of the treatments described below are individually tailored for each person’s specific needs and goals:

detoxing ionic foot bath

Detox Ionic Foot Baths

Our feet have over 7,200 nerve endings and 500,000 eccrine sweat glands. In addition, arteries and veins cross paths in the feet. These factors make the feet a natural gateway for detoxification. Foot baths use ionized water and ionic current stimulations to open sweat glands and allow toxins to leave the body naturally.

This process assists the body to cleanse itself of toxic wastes and heavy metals. Decades of patient testimonials have reported liver detoxification, reduced inflammation, pain relief from arthritis along with a feeling of overall ‘”Well Being” after the treatment. One session a week for eight weeks starts the process. More on Detox Foot Baths — Please add a page here with the information about the Ion Cleanse that you already have).

Homeopathic Anti-inflammatory Detoxification

Homeopathy provides perhaps the most sophisticated and specific form of anti-inflammatory treatment. Most disease on some level or another involves an inflammatory process. For some conditions, a general strategy of avoiding commonly recognized inflammatory agents, introducing anti-inflammatory substances and enhancing the general vitality of the body is sufficient to affect a cure.

At blue root & Wellness Center we provide a deeply individualized systematic detoxification approach for health and well-being for virtually anyone. Whether you have no symptoms, or as a part of remediation of health ills and problems, our homeopathic detoxification can be the basis to stay healthy as well as to improve the overall quality of life.

We start with generalized support of the organs and systems of elimination, opening up the exit routes. This alone may result in improvement for all sorts of health challenges.

Ozone Metabolic Detoxification

Ozone is a powerful antibacterial, germicidal, anti cancer and anti fungal agent, it inactivates viruses, bacteria, fungi, and protozoa/parasites. It also stimulates the production of white blood cells, interferon and tumor necrosis factor, stimulates killer cell activity, which fights infection. Ozone accelerates brain repair, relieves brain fog, improves circulation. It also combats chronic fatigue, reduces the body’s TOTAL toxicity load, it burns fats, and enhances metabolic efficiency by stimulating the Citric Acid cycle. It is a powerful chelating agent, pulling out of cells heavy metals, old drug residues, and environmental; pollutants.

Pain Relief: Infrared heat penetrates deeply into muscles and joints, providing relief from conditions such as arthritis, muscle soreness, and joint pain.

Relaxation and Stress Reduction: The gentle warmth of infrared saunas induces a state of relaxation, helping to reduce stress levels and promote a sense of calm.

Enhanced Skin Health: Sweating during infrared sauna sessions can contribute to improved skin tone, increased elasticity, and a healthy complexion by promoting circulation and the elimination of impurities.

Weight Loss and Metabolism Boost: The increased heart rate and sweating during infrared sauna use can contribute to calorie burning, potentially aiding in weight management and supporting metabolic functions.

Improved Sleep: Regular use of infrared saunas has been associated with better sleep patterns, potentially due to the relaxation and stress-reducing effects.

Muscle Recovery: Athletes and individuals engaged in physical activity may benefit from infrared sauna sessions as they can aid in muscle recovery by promoting blood flow and reducing inflammation.

Immune System Support: The heat stress experienced during sauna sessions may stimulate the production of white blood cells, supporting the immune system.

A benefit of detoxification with ozone therapy is that it can have a positive effect on almost all systems of the body including the immune, nervous, cardiovascular, gastrointestinal and many more.

Our Gastrointestinal Detoxification supports the body’s natural detoxification process, it removes inflammation, toxins, and accumulated waste in the GI tract while supporting a system of rebalancing the natural gut flora.

Ozone colon insufflation can be used in patients with colitis, leaky gut, Crohn’s disease, irritable bowel syndrome, and all chronic inflammatory process, although it has been used since the 1950s in Germany for many other conditions.  In fact, the German Medical Society for Ozone Therapy conducted a study in 1980, which found that side effects related to ozone rectal therapy were found in 0.000007%, making it one of the safest medical therapies available.

This anti-inflammatory plan makes a significant difference in each patient’s life.

We have offered ozone therapy to many patients to help them regain their health and we would love to help you, too. To become a patient, or for more information, feel free to call our office at 803-404-7575.

Detoxification FAQs

What is detoxification?
Detoxification is the process of removing harmful substances or toxins from the body. These toxins can come from various sources, including environmental pollutants, poor diet, and even stress. The body has its own detoxification systems, primarily through the liver, kidneys, skin, and digestive system. However, certain lifestyle habits, nutrition, and therapeutic treatments can support and enhance the body’s natural detoxification processes. At Blue Root Health, we emphasize holistic detoxification approaches, using acupuncture, dietary guidance, and other therapies to assist in the body’s cleansing process.
How to detoxify?
Detoxification involves supporting your body’s natural processes to remove toxins and waste. There are several ways to support detoxification, including: Hydration: Drink plenty of water to help flush toxins from your system through urine. Diet: Eat a clean, nutrient-rich diet full of fresh fruits, vegetables, and whole grains. Avoid processed foods, sugars, and unhealthy fats. Exercise: Regular physical activity promotes circulation and helps the body eliminate waste through sweat. Saunas and sweating: Heat-based therapies, like saunas, promote sweating, which is another natural detoxification method. Herbal support: Certain herbs like dandelion, milk thistle, and ginger can aid the body in detoxifying. At Blue Root Health, we offer detoxification programs tailored to each client’s needs, integrating practices like acupuncture, massage, and nutrition to help your body cleanse naturally.
What does detoxification do?
Detoxification helps cleanse the body of toxins, which can accumulate over time due to environmental exposure, poor diet, and stress. The process enhances organ function, supports the immune system, boosts energy levels, and promotes overall health. Detoxification also helps improve digestion, increase mental clarity, and reduce symptoms like bloating, fatigue, and headaches. At Blue Root Health, detoxification is tailored to help the body regain balance, improve vitality, and address specific concerns like skin issues, weight management, and chronic inflammation.
Does detoxification help you lose weight?
While detoxification alone is not a quick fix for weight loss, it can support weight management by helping your body eliminate waste, reduce bloating, and improve metabolic function. A healthy detox program often includes a clean diet, increased hydration, and improved digestive health, all of which can aid in weight loss. Additionally, detoxing can help your body function more efficiently, boosting energy and supporting long-term healthy habits. At Blue Root Health, we offer personalized detox programs that promote weight loss and overall well-being through balanced nutrition and holistic therapies.
How to open detoxification pathways?
Opening detoxification pathways involves enhancing the body’s natural processes that eliminate toxins. Some ways to support these pathways include: Increase water intake to promote kidney function and flush out toxins. Consume fiber-rich foods to support digestive health and eliminate waste. Support liver function with herbs like milk thistle and dandelion root. Promote sweating through exercise or sauna therapy to help the body excrete toxins through the skin. Use acupuncture to stimulate meridian points that enhance detoxification and overall energy flow. At Blue Root Health, we guide our clients on how to open these pathways safely and effectively through customized detox programs that integrate acupuncture, herbal support, and dietary recommendations.
Does detoxification work?
Yes, detoxification works when done properly, supporting the body’s natural ability to remove harmful substances and restore balance. When combined with the right lifestyle habits, nutrition, and holistic therapies, detoxification can result in improved energy levels, clearer skin, better digestion, and overall well-being. However, it’s important to approach detoxification in a balanced and individualized manner. At Blue Root Health, we offer professional detox programs tailored to your specific needs, ensuring that the process is both effective and safe.

CLIENT TESTIMONIALS

  • Susan Dwyer
    Dr. Soto has been successful in my complete recovery from painful recurring diverticulitis (10 times in 6.5 years). Previously, no other health professional had been able to adequately help me. Between the frequency of the attacks and awful prescription drug side effects, I was about to turn to surgery in desperation. Thankfully, I learned of Dr. Soto, whose level of expertise, caring, and healing methods made all the difference in how I felt. Acupuncture, herbs, and modifying what I eat and drink took a positive effect very quickly and, within weeks, I was a new person. It has been 14 months since my first appointment with Dr. Soto and I am feeling great, and I have had absolutely no bouts of diverticulitis the entire time. I am grateful for her attention to detail, utmost caring, and an expertise that has all made all the difference in my quality of life. Dr. Soto is the very best and I will be eternally grateful for her.

    Dr Soto and staff are amazing!! Dr Soto's Acupuncture methods are incredible and they work!! I was skeptical of Acupuncture until I experienced Dr Soto's work. She has resolved physical issues in my body in a short period of time. She is very detailed and cares about her patients. She asks a lot of questions to get to the root of the problem. This is whole body Acupuncture, and I highly recommend Dr Soto!!

  • Beth Dewey
    Dr. Angela Soto is a dedicated supporter of your well-being. She goes far beyond an acupuncturist because she truly listens and also wants the best for her patients. I came to her with a shoulder/neck injury that I have had for more than 30 years. Through ozone shots and acupuncture my flare-ups are almost completely gone. I can dance pain-free now! I am so grateful I found her!!

  • Gina Spriggs
    Dr. Soto is amazingly talented. She has helped me manage hot flashes (not so “hot” anymore), sciatica (gone!), lower back pain (gone!) & stress. The most poignant assistance she provided was with unexplainable post surgery swelling. A month after surgery I woke with major swelling, redness & pain. My doctor didn’t know what to make of it. It would be a month before a radiologist could see me. Dr. Soto made the swelling, pain & redness disappear in just 2 sessions (2 weeks) & I saved $$$ because the radiologist was no longer needed.
