Liver Health - A Safe, Effective Do-It-Yourself Liver Flush Drink

Safe and Effective?

Liver flushes have become a part of 'detox culture' along with colon cleanses and fasting.

But are they effective? Safe?

There are two ingredients for a liver flush that have scientifically demonstrated effectiveness for helping to heal the liver. They are milk thistle and turmeric:

A Simple Home Liver Flush Recipe

This is the recipe I use:

• The juice of one citrus fruit, i.e. lemon, lime, orange grapefruit etc.
• Clove of garlic
• A few peppercorns - black pepper enhances the effect of turmeric.
• Pinch of turmeric
• Contents of one milk thistle capsule
• 1 table spoon of cold-pressed olive or coconut oil
• Clean water as required

Mix ingredients in a blender, drink. Adjust the recipe to suit your own taste.

It is not necessary to drink everyday, a few times a week suffices. Aid your liver by limiting alcohol intake and eating healthy whole foods. Keeping your weight normal also helps the liver. Excess weight strains the liver. Source
