Liver Cleansing for Better Health
Did you know that your liver is the largest organ in your body--and is also
one of the most important organs in the body?
The liver works constantly. It filters toxins from your body, manufactures
cholesterol, balances hormones--it is a very complex organ, and is vital for your survival.
Don't you think it's time you gave your liver a break?
When the liver functions poorly or gets damaged (from poor diet
or excessive alcohol intake, for example), you may notice:
- Weight gain
- Water retention
- Feeling lethargic (low energy)
- Frequently tired
- Skin discoloration
- Tendency to bruise very easily.
Benefits of Liver Cleansing
Liver cleansing is a technique designed to help the liver recover full health.
Alternative health care practitioners recommend liver cleansing for individuals who have been diagnosed with any of
the following conditions:
- Gallstones
- Fatty liver
- Cirrhosis
- Jaundice
- Allergies and skin rashes
- PMS [Premenstrual syndrome]
- Persistent constipation
- Unexplained infertility
- Weight gain
- Bloating and nausea
- Excessive fatigue
Benefits of liver cleansing
Natural health practitioners believe that liver cleansing diets and liver
supportive supplements can benefit many disorders of the liver.
One of the first steps in cleansing the liver is to first cleanse (or include in
your live cleanse) supplements that also cleanse the colon.
Because the liver excretes its toxins into the colon, you want to make
sure that the colon is able to keep up with the liver, and also excrete toxins as it is meant to
do.
Who should avoid doing a liver
cleanse?
People who are severely constipated should avoid a liver cleanse-- and
first do a colon cleanse, prior to undergoing liver cleansing.
Women who are pregnant or breast-feeding should not do liver cleansing.
People under 18 or those older than age 70 should not do
a liver cleanse with their doctor's (or health provider's) approval.
Individuals recovering from a recent surgery,
or people released recovering from liver problems should not undergo the procedure.
Conclusion
Please note... liver cleansing is not a substitute medical therapy used
to treat liver disease. A liver cleanse is a complimentary treatment designed to help the liver recover and
function better.
Before doing a liver cleanse, always consult with your doctor or a
licensed health care professional.
