Happy April!

While April showers can make you feel clean on the inside, they can also encourage us to be clean on the outside! I’m talking liver cleanse season! Doing a regular detox for your liver can help your body clean every cell and organ in your body to give you that nice clean feeling. Spring brings new growth, and according to the Chinese, spring is the best time to cleanse and nourish the liver!

How does liver damage occur? How do you know if your liver needs a cleanse?

Liver damage can occur from numerous things. From heredity, toxicity, and long term diseases.

Some of the many common liver stressors include:

  • Acetaminophen
  • Sugar
  • Stress
  • Over the counter medications
  • Alcohol
  • Drug abuse

The liver has over 500 functions including digestion of food, absorbing nutrients, regulating cholesterol, balancing hormones, balancing blood sugar, and eliminating toxins. Who knew? It’s no wonder an overworked and malnourished liver can become congested and sluggish, contributing to numerous health problems.

Signs to look out for with a toxic liver:

  • Difficulty relaxing
  • Anger
  • Brain fog
  • PMS
  • Skin problems
  • Bloated stomach
  • Digestive discomfort
  • Irritated skin
  • Hormonal disturbances

The liver is the largest and heaviest of all the organs in the human body. The liver is the organ that stores vitamins and nutrients. When your liver isn’t functioning properly, your body is likely not absorbing, storing, or utilizing all the nutrients from your food.

Without a healthy liver, it is nearly impossible to have a properly functioning metabolism, healthy circulation, balanced hormones, and strong digestive system.

How can we support our liver? We can minimize our exposure to toxins while eating a nutrient dense diet, but that can only go so far. We need a little help from herbs!

Milk Thistle Combination- Contains Schizandra and Blessed Thistle. These herbs protect the liver by being damaged by harmful chemicals the liver is trying to eliminate. It is a great formula for anyone who works around chemicals of any kind (painters, hair dressers, auto mechanics, and carpet cleaners.)

Liver Balance- Clears congested liver, aids in digestion and liver detoxification. It is one of the best liver formulas for people who tend to be irritable and get irritated easily. It is a great formula for people who experience digestive upset, stiffness under the right rib cage, morning grogginess and frequent headaches.

Blood Simulator- The liver produces many blood components and stores nutrients to be released into the blood as needed. Blood simulator is a great option for women during child-bearing years, or those who lose large amounts of blood during their menstrual cycle.

Detox Basics- Contains herbs and nutrients that help both protect the liver and aid its detoxification process. This is a great pack for anyone who is surrounded by chemicals regularly, because it is a great detoxifying program for anyone who tends towards a congested liver.

All Cell Detox- General cleansing product that aids the liver, colon, and kidneys. It is one of the best all around cleansing formulas for anyone who wants to help detoxifying their body.

Sam-e- Promotes methylation and strengthens the livers ability to detox properly.

Lastly, mark your calendars for a vendor event that will be held on May 7th from 5:30 pm until 8:30 pm! It will be at the one and only, the 3 Spot! The 3 spot is located at 13855 Ridge Rd., North Royalton, OH 44133. I will have a Nature’s Sunshine stand set up, alongside 16 other vendors including Marley Sophia!
