- Chelation Therapy
Chelation is derived from the Greek word chele, meaning “claw,” like that of a crab or lobster. It refers to a treatment that removes harmful heavy metals from the body by binding to them and eliminating them through the urine.
Chelation therapy uses chelating agents such as EDTA (Ethylenediaminetetraacetic Acid) to detoxify the body by removing accumulated metals like lead, mercury, and cadmium. This process can help improve blood circulation and support vascular health.
Chelation therapy is medically recognized and used for:
Treating and preventing arteriosclerosis (hardening of the arteries)
Supporting heart health
Treating heavy metal poisoning
It may also contribute to immune system support and have anti-aging effects.
