Detox your liver

27 February 2007

Spring is the perfect time to cleanse the liver and blood with a detoxifying programme. A congested liver is the no.1 cause of bloating and slow weight-loss, cellulite, constipation, bad skin, aches and pains, recurring infections, premature ageing, high cholesterol and hormonal symptoms. Let's get spring-cleaned for 2007! There is so much advice out there but my tried and tested method is based on a six-week exclusion diet. Six is the magic number when it comes to true liver cleansing because your liver is a big, tough organ programmed to store and hold on to everything so it needs lots of coaxing and TLC to convince it that you're really ready to let go of your old rubbish once and for all! Daily dry skin brushing, a herbal liver formula, and colon hydrotherapy is recommended if you want to ensure a really good result!
