LIVER DETOX
QUESTION:
I would like to know if there is a herb out there that
will clean my liver out?
ANSWER: My favorite herb for liver cleansing and
rejuvenation is Milk Thistle. I have a custom blended
tea that combines several tonic herbs for the liver. Go
to my website,
www.allgoodegifts.com and go to the Herb Shoppe
under TEAS. Select Custom blend and in the checkout
comments section, put "Liver cleanse Tea"
QUESTION: I am a 47 year old female. I will like
to detox my body. How to do so? I have circulation
problem, and AM taking vitamins C, E and B12. Is therE
anything I am doing wrong?
ANSWER: True detoxification should only be
undertaken with the help of a medical practitioner. If
not done correctly, it can cause serious problems and
even death. It begins with a fast, working down to a
diet of only fresh greens and water, then only water. It
should take at least 1 week to get to that point.
Then a detoxifying herb blend is
taken. You can find these in your local health food
store as cleansing or detoxing blends. After 3 days
(usually over a weekend so you can stay home,) begin to
reintroduce foods slowly, starting with only fresh,
living greens. Keep taking your vitamins. If you are
taking any medications, consult your doctor since a fast
and cleanse can have adverse effects with some
medications.
