detox cleanses
Body purification programs
Detox cleanses are dietary regimens claiming to rid the body of toxins through restricted eating, juice fasts, supplements, or special products.
The concept borrows medical language but lacks scientific support—healthy livers and kidneys already handle detoxification.
The term spans legitimate medical contexts (drug or alcohol detox) and wellness-industry marketing: She's doing a three-day detox cleanse.
Often shortened to simply detox or cleanse.
