How to Cleanse Your Liver

The liver produces bile which is kept in the gallbladder and is necessary for the digestion of fats. Since the liver is responsible for the digestion of fats it is critical for the absorption of fat soluble vitamins such as vitamins A, D, K, and B12. It also stores glycogen which is a form of glucose. The liver releases the glucose back into the bloodstream when needed for energy.

The liver's production of bile can be affected by gallbladder stones. As the stones take up more space there is less space for the bile. A gallbladder stone attack can be extremely painful. While these stones can be removed surgically they can also be flushed from the system.

Detoxing the liver can be accomplished in a number of ways. Drinking a lot of water in a short period of time is probably the easiest. Make sure the water is pure. Don't use tap water, as water in city supplies can have dangerous organisms. You don't want to over load the liver with these organisms. It will make your problems worse rather than improve.

The liver can also be cleansed with a coffee enema. The caffeine in the coffee causes the bile to release containments into the colon. Contrary to what some people may think, cleansing the colon doesn't cleanse the liver.

There are formulas of water, Epsom salts, fruit juices and olive oil that are taken on a regular schedule throughout a 24 hour period. The stones are flushed from the gallbladder through the colon and appear in the bowel movements. There is even a "classic coke' recipe for a liver cleansing flush consisting of five ounces of classic coke, six ounces of olive oil and two tablespoons of lemon juice. This mixture is taken at bedtime. In the morning take 10 ounces of Citrate of Magnesium.
