Detoxification is based on the principal that illness and disease can be caused by the build-up of toxins in the human body. Toxins exist everywhere, in food we eat, in the air we breathe and persist because of our insufficient metabolic ability to rid the body of those we are exposed to on a daily basis. They can drain the body of energy and make you more susceptible to disease and infection. Toxins tend to concentrate in the liver and gastrointestinal tract due to the fact that both of these systems are responsible for eliminating toxins from our bodies. A detoxification treatment on a regular basis can be highly beneficial.

Clay Baths

Clay has been used for centuries by indigenous peoples for its healing properties. The clay first absorbs toxins (heavy metals, free radicals, pesticides), attracting them to its extensive surface area where they adhere like metal filings, then it absorbs the toxins like a sponge and binds them.HAWC bathing clay is different from many types of clay.  Many are high in metal content themselves and could prove more harmful than helpful.  HAWC's formula uses naturally occurring calcium bentonite clay, containing much lower levels of metals. 

HAWC bathing clay works on the principle of negative and positive charge. Since the clay is highly negatively charged and the toxins are positively charged when the body is in the warm water of the tub, the pores of the skin open and the toxins are drawn to the clay in the water. The clay attracts the toxins to its large surface area, then acts like a sponge absorbing the toxicity out through the skin.

On a daily basis all people are exposed to toxicity in their environment. Mainly diseases manifest as a result of exposure to these toxins. Bathing clay is simply one of the most incredible and effective ways to remove The clay is available for full body baths, foot baths and body packs.  The symptoms of "dis-ease" greatly improved with the use of these formulas.

Oral Chelation

The objective of oral chelation is to improve ones health and nutritional status by replacing toxic heavy metals with essential elements.We use a variety of herbal and homeopathic remedies to chelate heavy metal toxicity from the body. Our particular therapy uses chelating agents that tightly bind to heavy metals and transport them out of the body, generally through the urine. Our therapy includes clay baths which aid in the process by pulling the toxicity out of the body through the skin. This complementing tool helps the healing process by shortening the time and energy load to flush the metal.

Infrared Sauna

Far infrared is a section of the natural band of light that is not visible to the human eye, but can be felt as heat. Unlike the high heat produced in traditional saunas, far infrared heat is able to penetrate the body to a depth of 1.5 to 2 inches. This stimulates the body's cellular detoxification process more effectively and at a lower temperature than a traditional sauna.

Nutritional Wellness

The best medicine for the body is non-processed organically grown food. Proper nutrition is the key to good digestion, strong immunity and maintaining youthfulness. We recognize that in the environment we live in, it is difficult to soley rely on food for obtaining the nutrients our bodies need for strength and vitality. We encourage the use of nutritional supplements, botanical remedies and naturally formulated products for the cleansing or enhancement of specific organ systems. The HAWC supports diet and lifestyle guidelines parallel to blood type specific regiment. We believe in optimizing digestion to induce proper healing, detoxification, and longevity.

Emotional Clearing is for people of all ages who experience an array of negative emotions that harm their health. The processes are directed at spiritually healing emotional wounds that combined with their stresses of contemporary life can create behavior problems that affect health and learning.

Emotion- Organ Connection

Chinese philosophy developed a detailed categorization of human emotions and their somatic effects. Emotional expression and experience are regarded as barometers measuring energetic quality of health

In Chinese medicine, each organ has an emotional spectrum with a positive and negative aspect. Each organ and its energy system relate with each other in well defined and understood pasterns. Organs and emotional states are intimately connected. Chinese physicians enquire about patients' state of mind and identify relationships between emotional disharmony and the Zangfu (internal organs). Emotions are regarded as detrimentally influential only in the extreme, since when one emotional state dominates internal experience or outward behavior, the smooth flow of Chi is impeded.
