Note: this article is provided by Ohio Northern University Healthwise Pharmacy.

It seems like everyone is “detoxing” or "doing a cleanse” these days. But are these diets actually safe? Do they work?

Detoxification has been suggested as a way to remove toxins from the body, give you more energy and help you lose weight. However, "detoxing” has not been found to help remove toxins from the body or improve health, according to the National Center for Complementary and Integrative Health.

Your body does a great job of detoxing itself. That's what your kidneys and liver are for. These organs work to remove waste from the body without any extra help.
