When i personally want to cleanse my liver, i use milk thistle, dandelion, schizandra and there are several that you could use. to keep it simple i am currently using an herbal tincture by a company called Herb Pharm called Healthy liver tonic and the ingredients are dandelion, oregon grape, milk thistle, artichoke leaf, schizandra and fennel seed. Your liver also loves greens like kale, spinach, a raw food diet is good for a little while. The chlorophyll is good in those greens, so take some chlorophyll if you don't like those vegetables. Any way, if this is the way that you decide is best for you always consult a naturopath for suggestions if you need more info, but this works for me and I notice a difference in my health when ';cleansing.'; The Chinese believe that your emotions are linked to your liver and cleansing it is a good thing to do.What is a good and natural way to cleanse your liver?
Just ONE reason our liver and colon need detoxed is because we load it down with chemical loaded foods that have had the enzymes cooked out of them in processing it.
People claim you don't need to cleanse your digestive system but I have found that when I do I do not have problems with being bloated, indigestion and all the other problems people get.
It is better to take a digestive enzyme with your meals than to take the detox but occasionally when you do get bloated or constipated taking the detox is good. Somebody else said take burdock, red clover, etc.....milk thistle should also be one of the ingredients along with some others.
Casacara Sagrada is good to take occasionally also.What is a good and natural way to cleanse your liver?
Milk thistle is the best known herb to lower liver enzymes...but for an everyday detox %26amp; health, Dandellion, a glass of water+fresh lemon/lime juice, Artichoke, and a low fat diet + good fats like olive %26amp; grape seed oil are some good options....
Good Luck
The liver does not need cleansing.
Toxins do not build up in it or any other organ your your body. Food is not damaging you.
We get more cancer now for many reasons. The main one being that we now live longer are we die less from infectious diseases and can treat many other diseases better (like heart disease).
One of your liver's main jobs is to cleanse your body. Do you really think it's so ineffective as to need cleansing itself? Your body is a self-cleansing organism. ';Detoxes'; and ';cleanses'; are complete nonsense dreamed up as a way to get people to buy more useless products.
here are some herbs for a liver detox:
Turmeric is one of the best herbs to use for a herbal liver detox. It can increase bile production by up to 100%, it also increases bile solubility and helps to treat gall stones. Dandelion is capable of clearing wastes, pollutants and stimulating bile production.

Burdock root, dandelion root and red clover blossoms. They all act as blood purifiers. Burdock is a specific for the liver, but all three will work just fine.

This is a favourite topic on the board.
However, the liver doesn't require ';cleansing'; or detoxifying in any way at all. For the record, neither does your colon or kidneys. In fact, the liver is the organ mainly responsible for eliminating toxins (both natural metabolites, and acquired ones such as alcohol) from the body.
It is naturopathic nonsense.
