Natural Liver Detoxification

The liver is one of the most important organs in the body. It detoxifies the body, creates biochemicals that are vital for digestion, stores extra blood, creates bile, which breaks down fats, filters the blood and helps the body maintain water and electrolyte balance. The liver is an irreplaceable organ, and we cannot function without it. That is why many people seek ways in which they can get their liver to function at its optimum level. Detoxification diets are widely popular with people who feel the need to "cleanse" their body and organs.

  1. Detoxification

    • Many people often feel cleaner and lighter after detoxifying. There are many different ways to detoxify, including through diet and an enema. Detoxification diets can vary greatly, but their ultimate purpose is to get rid of toxins that wreak havoc on the body and its organs. Many people believe that toxins come into their body through their environment and some of the foods they eat, such as meat, sugar, alcohol, dairy products, caffeine and a few types of grains.

    Natural Liver Detox

    • The liver's job is to remove toxins from the body. When the liver continually is bombarded and overloaded, it fails to do its job. Toxins are then free to roam the body. Toxins can cause symptoms of disease, which is very harmful for the overall health of the body. One natural way to detoxify the liver is by using beets, which contain betaine, a natural liver detoxification. To use this method, shred raw beets and mix them with raw flax seed oil and lemon juice. Eat this mixture daily.

      Another natural liver detox method involves using coffee. First, brew organic coffee and allow it to cool. Then use a one-quart enema bag or syringe from a pharmacy to place it in your lower bowel. Keep the coffee in your lower bowel for 15 minutes, or as long as you can, so that the coffee can be absorbed into the hemorrhoidal vein and transmitted to the liver by the portal vein; this results in helping the liver detoxify, and the intestines expel the toxins. The coffee enema should be used every day for 10 days and then used once a week for up to six weeks. It is important not to use sweetened coffee, flavored coffee or coffee with milk for the enema. Side effects may be associated with the coffee enema, however, including electrolyte imbalance and perforation of the intestine wall.
