Who Needs a Liver Cleanse?
Most people could use a good liver cleanse. This will help to improve your digestion, which is essential for good health. A liver cleanse is when you take herbs, vitamins, minerals and supplements designed to strengthen and detoxify your liver. Bad skin, and cellulite believe it or not are a few symptoms of a sluggish liver.
We develop liver weakness after we have abused our bodies by long-term eating of acid-forming foods, processed foods and other unhealthy foods such as: meat, sugar, white flour, white rice, foods cooked in oil, foods containing a lot of artificial dyes etc.
What are the Root Causes of a Weakened Liver?
Smoking cigarettes, using pharmaceutical drugs, acetaminophen, and drinking alcohol can hamper the liver. All the food that is absorbed from our intestines goes directly to the liver, by way of the portal vein. The liver and bowels then must filter all the harmful chemicals from the bad food. Food colorings, preservatives, heavy metals, fried oils, partially digested proteins, etc., all take their toll upon our liver.
What are the Symptoms of a Weakened Liver?
Some symptoms of a weakened liver are; skin problems, rashes, acne, fatigue, general malaise, eczema, cellulite, digestive problems, blood sugar regulation disorders (such as hypoglycemia), high cholesterol, psoriasis, allergies, chemical sensitivities and constipation. Extreme cases of liver problems could result in jaundice, hepatitis and cirrhosis.
Natural Remedies.
While you are cleansing your liver avoid smoking, drinking alcohol, eating highly processed foods, foods filled with artificial colors, and drink at least 2 liters of purifies water a day.

Liver X– Take 2 capsules twice a day for at least one month. This supplement contain all the important liver cleansers. “Liver X” can also be taken as a preventive supplement. A lot of people who are taking prescriptions medications will take a “Liver X” with their medication to lessen damage to the liver. |
If you prefer to take individual supplements, I have listed them separately below.

 |
Milk Thistle– Take as directed on the label. Milk Thistle is a great liver detoxifier. |
|
 |
NAC– Take as directed on the label. NAC is an amino acid. It is great for protecting the liver, and also strengthening the liver. In fact new research suggests that whenever you take acetaminophen you should take NAC with it to prevent liver damage. |
|
 |
Astragalus– Take as directed on the label. Astragalus boosts your immune system and is great for the liver. |
|
 |
Dandelion Tea– Sip Dandelion Tea throughout the day. This is a great way to cleanse your liver. It is a good addition to a liver cleanse, but it is not sufficient for a super cleanse all on it’s own. |
*Please check with your doctor before taking any supplements, and also read the warning labels on each product, especially if you are pregnant or breast-feeding. Also read the labels carefully when giving your child any natural supplement, to ensure that it is safe to give a child.
