Hi, I want to ask. Why period blood is dark brown sometimes. Does periods actually remove unwanted substances or toxins from body.

There is nothing like removal of unwanted material or toxins. It is just shedding of internal lining when pregnancy is not lodged in that cycle. Dark brown or fresh depends on how much time it takes for blood to reach from inside to out.
