Thrive Together: Gentle Detox for Kids

Thrive Together Series: Gentle Detox for Kids with Season Johnson 
Supporting Families Through Gentle Detoxification and Holistic Wellness
Welcome to the second session of our Thrive Together monthly series—a supportive community focused on helping families navigate health challenges with compassion and practical knowledge. This month, we were honored to have Season Johnson, a nutritional therapy practitioner and devoted mother, lead an empowering discussion on Gentle Detox for Kids.
Season shared her heartfelt journey supporting her son Kicker through leukemia treatment, highlighting how gentle detox strategies combined with conventional medicine helped improve his wellbeing. If you missed the session or want to learn more, read on for the key insights and actionable tips to support your child’s natural detoxification safely and effectively.

Why Gentle Detox Matters for Children 
Children are particularly vulnerable to toxins that enter the body through food, skin contact, and inhalation. Season emphasized how gentle detoxification can help reduce the toxic burden and support immune function, digestion, and overall health—especially for kids with chronic illnesses or sensitivities.
Through this session, parents and caregivers learned how to implement safe, gentle detox practices that complement medical treatments without interference.

Highlights from the Gentle Detox for Kids Session
Understanding Gentle Detoxification
Season explained that detox doesn’t have to be harsh or complicated. Gentle detox methods are about supporting the body’s natural elimination pathways with simple, non-invasive therapies such as:

• Detox baths using Epsom salts
• Rebounding on a trampoline to stimulate lymph flow
• Juicing fun, nutrient-rich recipes featuring ingredients like beets and cilantro

Practical Detox Strategies for Families
Season encouraged parents to integrate enjoyable activities that promote detoxification, making the process engaging rather than a chore. She recommended:

• Dry brushing to boost circulation and skin detox
• Castor oil packs for liver health and easing constipation
• Oil pulling with coconut oil to support oral hygiene and toxin elimination

Sauna and Ozone Therapy Insights
Sauna therapy, particularly red-light saunas, was highlighted as an excellent way for children to sweat out toxins. Season also introduced ozone therapy protocols suitable for kids, including ozonated oils and drinks containing green tea, lemon, coconut oil, and chlorella to boost detox support.

Nutrition and Fasting
Season addressed the importance of diet by recommending reduced sugar and processed foods. She explained the benefits of allowing children natural fasting periods (like 12 hours overnight) to give the digestive system a rest and enhance detoxification.

Essential Oils for Detox
Essential oils played a key role in Season’s detox toolkit. She recommended high-quality oils such as doTERRA’s Zendocrine blend, along with cilantro and helichrysum, for liver and kidney support. Safety tips included always diluting oils with carrier oils like coconut oil before topical use and careful ingestion protocols.

Detoxing from Environmental Toxins
Modern detox means managing exposure to digital and environmental toxins. Season suggested simple home adjustments, including unplugging Wi-Fi at night and switching to toxin-free household products, to reduce the body’s toxic load.
