I'm thinking my liver needs a good cleanse....Any suggestions??


Thanks!

I wonder if Master cleanse would be good for that? It calls for cayanne pepper and lemon juice, and molasses.

I'd rather not do that...Molasses is not raw.

The molasses is optional. It's just for cutting the spice of the pepper, I think.

milk thistle, any bitter herbs, dandelion, burdock root, etc. there are TONS of liver tea blends at the health food store that you can brew as sun tea if you are opposed to using boiling water, but use the hot water for burdock and other roots unless you can find it fresh to juice it.
really, the liver is ALWAYS detoxing so just eat a healthy diet, drink plenty of water and get some exercise. personally, i think you have to be really full of junk for your liver to need extra special attention.
stop worrying so much you guys. i've been away for so long i forgot what perfectionists live here. rrreeelllaaxxx.

The molasses is to give you energy for the fast.
The pepper is to warm the blood and thin it out.
The lemon is a diuretic (makes you pee) so the toxins have some where to go.

T/row I finish a 7 day juice fast so I don't want to do another for a few months.

I really just want something that is specific for the liver.

Thanks for the info coco

MILK THISTLE!

I've never had a strong liver and was diagnosed with fatty liver in my mid-20s. I can't go out drinking 2 nights in a row or my liver will react, same with if I eat carbs the next day after drinking.

So back when I used to drink a lot (plus social recreational drugs) I would always take milk thistle and eat lots of bitter greens to counteract the toxins. Worked great. In fact in those days I was eating a nearly raw food diet without ever knowing there existed such a thing. I just knew I wanted to feel my best for those crazy weekends.

A milk thistle pill and a large green juice w/wheatgrass on an empty stomach, that was my liver detox formula. Then just keep eating vegetables all day long.

sounds like a good plan! Milk thistle is a great herb for liver.
