If you deal with stress and anxiety, if you desire to have more balance and stability in your mood, if you want to sleep peacefully and wake rested with energy that lasts thru the day — then you definitely want to consider cleansing your liver 2-3 times a year.
If you want to have a strong immune system so you don’t get sick all the time and stay strong even when everyone around you is going down, you want to consistently cleanse your liver.
If you want to protect the health of your cells, and if you want to digest your food so you stop feeling bloated and like crap, then again, consider cleansing your liver 2-3 times a year.
A liver cleanse is one of the biggest game changers you can make to quickly upgrade your health and improve your quality of life.
But with so many options on the market, it can be challenging to know which to choose.
In this blog, I am going to share my four favorite herbs for liver cleansing, the function of each herb and what to look out for when choosing them, as well as the best way to take them. But first, it is important you understand all that your liver does for you.
WHAT DOES THE LIVER DO?
Your liver is the primary organ of detoxification in your body and is responsible for neutralizing all of the toxins that enter the system. This includes filtering the blood of toxins – which is critical because this is where your cells live and when your blood is not clean, it is not flowing and your cells are living in a polluted environment, which is a HUGE problem.
The liver is also responsible for creating energy and hormones, which will then determine how productive and energetic you are, how centered and balanced you feel, your sex drive, your mood…
It also is where you create healthy immune cells, so if you get sick often, then you need to do something to reboot your liver.
It does so much more than just this, but at least you have started to understand just how critical it is for your day to day experience and for you short and long term health.
What does that mean? A congested liver is going to impact you far more than you would imagine. And if you drink alcohol and take medications, you better believe your liver will be challenged.
If you want to actually feel good, to have energy, to think clearly, to function at a high level, to be at peace and in a good mood – you MUST pay attention to your liver health.
That is exactly why I created my 21 Cleanse, my 7 Day Detox, and my One Day Detox. They are all game changers.
My liver tonic is amazing. It is plant medicine at its finest that supports you in being in the world but not of the world. But you will only understand that when you actually take it – which is what you will experience when doing my detox. ;0
WHAT YOU NEED TO KNOW WHEN CHOOSING YOUR HERBS
I do not ascribe to the more is better philosophy. I am a big believer in using a few of the best herbs that work well together and to use them in a form that is most utilized by the body.
Pay attention to the quality and choose organic herbs so you can understand the chemicals that were used when it was grown and the water quality that was used. The environment in which an herb is grown and the care that wet into the process it is really important.
You also want to understand if they have been tested because many herbs are sprayed, fumigated and irradiated, even after they have gone thru organic certification. This means more chemicals – which defeats some of the process.
(My herbs undergo 5 different kinds of testing before they are used, and after they are blended. Can you say DOUBLE WHAMMY?)
The form of the herb and its age is also going to play a critical role in its effectiveness. Dried herbs age, and often are not that strong. They also decrease in effectiveness over time and have a shelf life. Teas will have a very mild impact and not be a liver cleanse, but more of a liver support.
So there a many things to consider…
My personal and professional favorite is herbal extracts, and why I use them in my cleanse program – they bi-pass digestion and go straight to work on the system -no matter what shape the body is in.
So now that you know the whys and the hows, lets talk about the whats…
THE FOUR BEST HERBS FOR A LIVER CLEANSE
Schisandra
I consider it to be the mother herb for the liver. Not only does it clean the liver and boost its functioning, it works on many of the body’s systems.
It is an adaptogenic herb so it raises the body’s resistance to stress and anxiety. It lowers cortisol and adrenal, helps balance hormones, and improves adrenal function. Schisandra is one of the main herbs in my liver tonic and should be used for a proper liver cleanse.
It is also a beauty tonic – glowing skin, nails, hair, ..
I ❤ THIS HERB!
Turmeric
I love our turmeric in my liver tonic because I use raw, organic turmeric grown in hawaii.
Turmeric protects the liver by producing enzymes to neutralize toxins. It reduces inflammation and has been shown in studies to fight cancer causing agents, free radicals, and to reverse cellular damage. It’s also great for the mood and for brain performance.
Turmeric can also be good for easing aches and pain, and Studies have also shown turmeric to free fluoride from the brain.
Rosemary
Rosemary is known to help detox the liver, increase memory and brain function, and boost the immune system. It is a master herb and I dive into this in the vlog.
Thuja
Native Americans used Thuja in ceremony to ward off evil spirits, so it has strong energetic properties. It is powerful to strengthen and tonify the liver, boosts the immune system, decreases inflammation, cleans the lungs, and more.
These are my 4 favorite herbs and what make up my liver tonic, which is available in my 21 Cleanse, 7 Day Reset Cleanse, One Day Detox or Liver Tonic Shots. I use a use very unique extraction process to ensure the maximum medicinal, energetic and spiritual components of each herb is captured.
Most companies throw all their herbs in one vat and dump a low amount of alcohol on top. This produces a diluted product and does not work with the individual constituents of each herb, but you would never know.
I have each herb individually extracted according to its unique alchemy with the ethyl alcohol, water and glycerin. The extraction process is also unique to the herb. The ensures maximum potency for maximum benefit.
I also only use organic or wildcrafted ingredients, and each batch is third party tested for heavy metals, aflotoxin, arsenic, e. Coli and microbacteria.
So we deliver 100% pure other nature LOVE.
PURE, potent, and effective.
I like results.
Happy Liver Cleansing!!
