The liver is responsible for filtering and
detoxifying your blood, so you want to make sure that it is
in top condition. Many times our liver and body gets overloaded
with toxins from the poor food we eat and the unhealthy lifestyles
we lead. This can make us feel tired, sluggish and just out
of sorts. And, if you want to lose weight, without good liver
function, you will find that difficult to do. So, it is a
good idea to cleanse the liver at least once a year.
Milk Thistle is an excellent herb that can be used to cleanse
and promote health in the liver. Its active ingredient is
Silymarin, which helps protect and detoxify the liver. There
are many supplements that contain just Milk Thistle or you
can find it in combination with other helpful herbs. You can
find it in capsule or liquid. I like using the liquid, since
it’s easier to carry around and use. After I take my
Milk Thistle, I drink 8-10 glasses of distilled water a day.
This helps to run more blood through the kidney to clean out
the toxins and debris from the blood.
For my liver cleanse I used a liquid herb combination from
the American Botanical Pharmacy called "Liver/Gall Bladder
Anti-Parasite Formula" (L/GB-AP) by Dr. Richard Schulze.
It comes in a 2 oz. bottle with a dropper.
Use 2 droppers full, 3-4 times per day for one week.
This formula has a combination of herbs. The first five herbs
listed below are great liver herbs. The other herbs are for
cleansing the body of parasites. Parasites can live in the
liver and other organs including the brain and colon.
* Milk Thistle Seed
* Dandelion Root
* Oregon Grape Root
* Gentian Root
* Wormwood leaf and flower
* Mojave Chaparral, Black
* Walnut hulls
* Ginger Rhizome
* Garlic Bulb
* Fennel Seed.
