A liver detox, cleanse, or flush is a program that claims to take out toxins in your body, help you lose weight, or improve your health. You want to do everything you can to take an active role in your health.

Our liver is one of the most vital organs of the body, as it plays a key role in our digestion; regulates cholesterol and hormone levels; metabolizes fats, proteins, and carbohydrates; stores vitamins and minerals; and detoxifies our blood.  With our heavily polluted environment, over-medicated society, and excessively refined and processed diets, it is no surprise that our livers are often worn down, sluggish, and toxic by adulthood.  We may not be able to control our environmental pollutants or the medications that are needed for our healthcare, however, we can certainly reduce the stress on our liver through a healthy diet, herbal medicine, and routine cleansing.
