How to Cleanse the Colon & Liver

Feeling tired, suffering from vague pains, acne, nausea, bloating and general malaise may be a sign of a sluggish liver. The liver's job is to detoxify the fat solubles and turn them into water solubles that easily flush from the body. It also breaks down glycogen into glucose and proteins into energy. The colon is the elimination tube. If it is impacted with fecal matter that doesn't regularly pass, there will be constipation, problems with skin and hair and a bloated stomach. Dr. Oz from Oprah recommends regular colon cleanses and liver flushing to return the body to optimum health. It should be a decision reached by an individual and his physician.

Instructions

    • 1

      Educate yourself about the functions of both the liver and the colon.

    • 2

      Consider your own personal health. If you suffer from any of the conditions boldly outlined by proponents of liver flushes and colon cleanses, contact your physician. It is unwise to undertake procedures without finding out if your body is healthy enough for the regimen or if it is indicated.

    • 3

      If indicated, follow your physician's guidance as to which of the cleanses or flushes will be most beneficial for your particular body and symptoms.

    • 4

      To begin the colon cleanse take herbal infusions that will flush away bacteria from the colon. You will need to replenish the good bacteria that are eliminated as well. This should be included in the package that you purchase. The cleasing process usually lasts for about 10 days and you will not be eating your usual diet during that time. Colon-cleanse products are specific about what you can eat and how long to continue. Be sure your physician agrees that this is the right course of action for you.

      Follow a specific diet for about four days before the liver flush begins. Find this information on the package instructions and follow it exactly. Begin the flush with lots of apple juice and a combination drink that includes specific measurements of Epsom salts. At intervals, you will take certain drinks and finally an infusion of grapefruit and olive oil. There will be diarrhea and perhaps gall stone elimination. The process can be repeated after another week. Do this only with your doctor's knowledge and permission.
