How do you know if your elimination pathways are blocked?

HOW TO IDENTIFY YOUR STAGNANCY IN YOUR EMUNCTORY ORGANS

Each emunctory organ has a specific role in eliminating what the body doesn’t need. When one or more of these pathways become sluggish, symptoms appear. The key is to become aware of the signs and signals your body is communicating to you. 

Signs Your Drainage Pathways Are Blocked:
1. Colon (Digestive Stagnation) – So what do these physical symptoms look like? Constipation, gas, bloating, very unpleasant- smelling stools, acne, brain fog.

2. Kidneys (Fluid Imbalance) – This shows up in the body as : water retention, puffy eyes, dark urine, frequent or infrequent urination, stiffness in the joints.

3. Lungs (Breath & Mucus Congestion) – What does this look like in the body? Frequent congestion, shallow breathing, shortness of breath, chronic cough.

4. Skin (Body to express Toxicity Externally) – This shows up physically as: Acne, eczema, rashes, excessive or no sweating, and a general dullness to the skin.

5. Nervous System (Stress & Emotional drainage) – Your body shows you through: Anxiety, chronic fatigue, headaches, poor or lack of focus, and emotional numbness. 

If you recognize stagnation in several pathways, start by addressing the colon first since this is the foundation of waste elimination, and then gradually add in support for the other organs. It’s important that you don’t try to rush this process as detoxing too fast can overburden the body with too many toxins possibly leading to more serious illness. The body is very intelligent and when we learn to listen, we will know how to respond to the body’s needs and can come back into equilibrium faster, leading to an overall healthier life.
