The Liver’s Role in Detoxification
The liver is the largest of our
vital organs. It is responsible for facilitating digestion
and elimination, and filtering potentially toxic waste products
from the blood. Liver detoxification is especially important
today, due to the increasing prevalence of chemical pollutants
in our environment.
Traditional Liver Cleansing
Every culture in the world used
to have a traditional practice of cleansing the liver at least
once a year. Many of the old people of our own Appalachian
Mountains still do this. It is a wise practice to continue.
There are many toxins the liver cannot effectively eliminate.
Eventually it stores up more than it can handle. This can
lead to problems.
