Proven Liver Cleanse Recipe – An Herbal Formula That Works

The Herbs in the Formula

You’ll notice that this formula does not have milk thistle as an ingredient. We know that milk thistle does have liver cleansing properties, but so do other herbs such as barberry. In this liver cleanse recipe, barberry is the primary liver cleansing herb. The other herbs help to ease the process of removing the toxins from the liver. For example, fennel and peppermint decrease spasms of the digestive tract and gall bladder. As the liver is releasing toxins, there may be associated spasms, but these herbs keep that from becoming an issue.

Catnip also decreases spasms and allows the body to calm down. Ginger makes this action of catnip more powerful. Wild yam relieves flatulence in the intestinal tract, as does peppermint. Wild yam is an antispasmodic, stimulant and relaxant, and relieves the pain found with the gall bladder. Since the gall bladder is so physically close to the liver, cleansing this organ at the same time while the liver is cleansed is always a wise decision. This herb is also helpful for times when the stomach and abdomen feel so full that the area hurts.

You can always decide to make your own liver cleanse recipe formula. You might start with this one and then add other liver-cleansing herbs to the mix. By using additional herbs, you can cleanse the liver in slightly different ways that are consistent with how the additional herbs work.

For example, the herb Quebra pedra is one that will help cleanse the liver of harmful chemicals. If you’ve been exposed to some of these – ones as strong as carbon tetrachloride and even poisonous mushrooms, Quebra pedra is indicated as the herb of choice. In some countries, the herb is used in emergency rooms for cases of poisoning. Of course, this would be a very serious condition where medical attention is necessary; however, afterwards, a liver cleanse would be beneficial.

Making your own liver detox formula does involve knowing about herbs. Every herb must have a legitimate purpose in the formula. There are many liver cleanse formulas on the market that you can purchase. Again, knowing what your goal is and then reading the label will help you determine whether or not that formula is for you.
