Liver Cleansing:

Herbs for Liver Cleansing

Liver cleansing can take time. Fortunately, improved nutrition and some herbs can help get your liver back to full working order.

If you think about how long it took your liver to get to the condition it's currently in, it's easier to understand why it might take a bit of time to get it back into shape.

There are two primary ways to cleanse your liver, and these work best when done in tandem with each other.

The first step is to change how you eat, and the second is to take herbs and/or supplements which are known for liver cleansing, toning, and strengthening.

A liver cleansing diet is very similar to a body detox diet.

You can jumpstart the process by going on a temporary liquid diet (a juice fast) using strictly fruit or vegetable juices.

The best liver cleansing diet, however, requires that you drastically reduce the amount of sugars and simple starches you eat each day. These foods clog the liver and wear it down.

Including plenty of fresh fruits, vegetables and fiber in your diet helps tremendously as well.

You'll also need to be sure you drink plenty of fluids.

Fluids are used by both your kidneys and your liver to help filter toxins out of your body, and the more extra fluids you can get into your system, the faster your body is able to clear out toxins, bacteria, parasites and wastes.

After the liver filters toxins and creates wastes, it sends those in the form of bile to your colon.

The solid waste in your colon will dry out the longer it stays there, and this can create a back log of waste.

When you have a back log of solid wastes, the liver is then slowed down in its job, because it's unable to send new filtered waste through to be disposed of.

The second step to cleansing your liver involves taking specific herbs which are known to improve the health of your liver.

Dandelion, for instance, is an excellent liver cleansing herb. It helps the liver to produce more bile, and this in turn helps to tone your liver and clear out more problem materials faster.
