Detox vs. Cleanse: What’s the Difference?

While the terms are often used interchangeably, a cleanse is usually a short-term dietary intervention focused primarily on digestion – often involving juice fasts or restricted eating to give the gut a break. A detox, on the other hand, is a more integrative process that engages the body’s full detoxification systems: liver, kidneys, skin, lymph, and colon. It goes beyond digestion to support cellular repair, immune resilience, and systemic balance. Beyond the physical, a true detox also addresses mental and emotional wellbeing, helping to clear stress, restore clarity, and rebalance energy.
