Truthfully, I did not enjoy writing this article. I started out as usual sitting myself down comfortably in front of my laptop, an especially deep ashtray on the desk to the left of the computer. I conveniently located my over sized cup of very sugary coffee in close proximity to my headache medication. I did however begin a search on the internet to learn all I could regarding liver detox.
I don't have much general knowledge about medical subjects. Unlike so many others I do not remember to take medications and I never research every aliment that I am diagnosed with. Halfway through my coffee and puffing on another cigarette, I learned about the two gallstones I have had for a while are actually solidified substances that were in the liquid bile secreted by my liver, this is probably because it contained too much cholesterol, bile salts or bilirubin. If they move, my medium-sized gallstones could block the flow of bile from my gallbladder. These could generate a gallbladder attack accompanied with lots of pain.
The situation above occurs when natural liver detox process is no longer able to filter the toxins that have accumulated as a result of cigarette smoke, environmental pollutants, unhealthy diet and the intake of large quantities of caffeine in combination with painkillers that contain paracetamol. I stopped reading at that point, made a second cup of coffee and decided on the subject of this article.
Ideally, natural detoxification should include three components: exercise to help blood circulation flow, a liver-friendly diet and herbal detoxification. Writing about liver-friendly diets is boring. Everyone knows this, but so is exercise. However, since they are beneficial to the functioning of your liver you should read about herbs below. The majority of these herbs are easily accessible, inexpensive, and are not complicated to use.
* The chemical cyranin, which aids in increasing the liver's production of bile as it strengthens the bile duct, is found in globe artichokes, especially the leaves. Since artichokes, apparently, can mobilize fat stored in the liver, they are useful for lowering cholesterol too.
* By increasing bile production and flow is how Dandelion stimulates the livers detoxification function. As a chemical that tones and strengthens the liver, it also contains potassium, calcium, phosphorus, iron and significant amounts of choline. The roots are the most beneficial part of this herb and you can boil them to make a tea.
* Milk Thistle, Latin for Silybum Marianum L, is an herb recommended for liver function problems that are caused by drug and alcohol abuse.
* Eating rosemary will help with the functioning of your liver and minimize inflammation that may later cause liver disease because it contains to helpful acids caffeic and rosemarinic. It has been found that Rosemary extract can increase or accelerate the function of liver enzymes, and can flush toxins from the liver.
* One of the properties of Turmeric is liver cleansing, among a wide range of other health-promoting values. It contains an oil curcuminoids, that help reduce build-up of toxins by increasing the livers output of glutathione, a powerful enzyme that helps the liver rid itself of toxins. Foods like rice, beans, vegetable, chicken and fish turn a yellow color when flavored with the peppery spice, turmeric. Traditionally this is a mainstay of herbal therapy that is believed to shrink enlarged hepatic ducts, these carry bile from the liver to the common bile duct leading to the small intestines and may even be useful in the treatment of serious liver conditions such as hepatitis and cirrhosis.
* Chicory is a well-known coffee substitute. Its flowers, seeds and roots contain chemical compounds that are believed to stimulate bile production and cleanse the liver. It is also a mild laxative and diuretic and can thus alleviate part of the workload of a tired liver. The simplest way to consume this herb is to drink chicory tea or chicory coffee or to add fresh chicory leaves to salads.
Herbs alone cannot help a natural liver detox. It must be combined with a healthy diet and life style, such as avoiding alcohol, drugs, smoking, and exercising regularily. The story will need to end here as I must run off to check the kitchen shelf. I am certain that there is Turmeric and Rosemary in there. - 16650
