| Milk thistle is the best liver cleansing herb and will detoxify the liver and regenrate calls. Dandelion is also another great herbs. You can get this in tablet form or has it as tea or in granuls as a coffee alternative. The brang Fusion have a great liver cleansing herb comprised of a number of benifical herbs. As i like to enjoy quite a few weekend drinks and the odd weekday drinks i take one tablet everyday to ease the burden of toxins and replenish the liver.
I definately recommed carrot juice (as it has beta-carotene which is theraputic for the liver) and aloe vera juice which has been amazing for as i have a number of stomach and internal upsets. Also as i study naturopathy i read a clinical study of a man doing all the above. (obviously abstaining from alcohol and having a high nutrient diet ) and also having colon therapy sessions to rid his body of stagnant toxins which when not dispersed from the body , circulate dangerously around the body...and he improved he basically reversed his condition |
