Liver Cleanse
Liver Functions and Caring for our Liver
As well as its role as the main metabolic and biochemistry factory of the body, the liver is the prime detoxification organ. It is continuously dealing with environmental pollution in the air we breathe, the water we drink, the food we eat, the products we touch and those we use on our skin. It also processes nutrients, detoxifies and controls hormones and neurotransmitters, and thus it is key to hormone and nerve balance.
Good digestion and gut health depend on liver function through good bile flow, while metabolism and energy distribution are directly related to the health and functions of the liver.
The liver has the awesome ability to regenerate up to 90% of its original size if damaged. It can regrow after losing mass from sudden injury or surgery, returning to its normal volume in about 6 to 8 weeks.
The liver and kidneys work together in maintaining biochemical homoeostasis. Energetically, they are viewed as the two sides of our life-force. The kidneys represent the vitality energy with which we are born while the liver is all about how we source, distribute, sustain and store our energy, toxicity being the biggest obstacle to our vitality. How energised, dynamic and stable we feel is a good way to assess the energetic health of the liver.
With so many vital functions, it makes sense to look after the liver well !
Ideally a liver cleanse should be undertaken once or twice a year, and the best times for liver cleansing are spring and autumn.
The Liver Cleanse is recommended to improve:
- digestive discomfort in the case of bloating, gas and/or nausea
- excessive burping and frequent heartburn
- hormonal detoxification and related symptoms
- energy levels and mental clarity
- mood and general well being
- general liver health and liver function
