Herbal liver detoxification.
Liver detoxification may be necessary if you are having pain or inflammation. Some also feel it's a good idea to occasionally clean the body of excess toxins to improve overall health. A proper liver detoxification involves three main steps: increase the function of the circulatory system to effectively remove toxins, clean the liver with herbs and then directly attempt to heal any nagging problems with the liver. Consult your physician before attempting new herbal remedies.
Circulatory System
By improving a sluggish or average circulatory system, you can ensure that your liver detoxification will be efficient and comprehensive. Use the herb horsetail in a tea to normalize circulation and to strengthen the tissues around the arteries and veins. Try this tea in the evening and a tea made from rosemary leaves and the hyssop herb in the morning. Rosemary and hyssop are a powerful combination; together they can stimulate circulation and increase blood pressure. You may take rosemary alone if you have any conditions like hypertension that require you to keep your blood pressure low. Siberian ginseng, ginkgo biloba and ginger root are a trio that can help improve your circulation and improve the effectiveness of your detoxification. These herbs can all be purchased in natural goods stores and can all be used at the same time to improve the effects of one another. Begin taking these herbs two to three weeks before you begin your liver cleansing.
Herbal Detoxification
Once your circulatory system is functioning well, begin your herbal treatment to detoxify and heal your liver. The most well-known herb for liver detoxification is milk thistle. This herb can eliminate toxins in the liver and has the ability to repair liver cells, renew cellular machinery and prevent free-radical damage. You may take it in capsule form or you can try it as a tea; use a teaspoon of crushed milk thistle seeds per cup of boiling water three times per day. To help remove and process more toxins in the liver, have a cup of tea made from herbal dandelion three times a week during your detoxification process. This tea will help your liver produce more bile and improve its general functioning. Stinging nettle helps remove toxins and purify the liver. Take a teaspoon of fresh stinging nettle juice three times a day before mealtimes. For more detoxification help, add a tablespoon of fresh artichoke juice mixed with a tablespoon of red beet juice three times per day. These remedies can all be purchased at grocery or natural foods stores. Use them for up to three weeks at a time.
Homeopathic Liver Remedies
If you have embarked on an attempt to cleanse your liver because of liver issues, here are some remedies that may help. Use Bryonia if you are experiencing a sore abdomen, heaviness and swelling in the liver and if you have extreme nausea or vomiting of bile. Use Chelidonium if you have pain under the right shoulder blade, back and abdomen pain, diarrhea and a constant bitter taste in your mouth. Lycopodium helps heal cirrhosis, jaundice, hepatitis and symptoms like painful right body sensations, hunger pangs and the constant passing of gas. Use Nux vomica if your liver feels enlarged or inflamed and if you have hemorrhoids and insomnia. Try a low potency of 12c (where c is equal to 100 times the standard homeopathic unit) one to three times a day depending on your symptoms. All these remedies can be purchased online or at a natural goods store.
