Natural Lemon Liver Cleanse

Colon cleanses are prevalent in health food stores, as they are meant to help you lose weight and benefit your overall health. However, liver cleanses can be just as important to your health. A natural lemon cleanse for your liver can be made and taken in the comfort of your home.

Function

Gallstones are a common problem resulting from an unhealthy liver. Cleansing your liver can help aid their removal, Natural Health Remedies explains.

Benefits

Natural Health Remedies also reports that the high levels of vitamin C contained in lemons can help your body neutralize free radicals that result from the expulsion of harmful bacteria from your liver.

Ingredients

Healing Cancer Naturally recommends that you squeeze ¼ cup of fresh lemon juice and mix with 4 tbsp. of Epsom salts, ¾ cup of olive oil and ½ tsp of vitamin C powder. Take the mixture in one serving. Healing Cancer Naturally also advises that you eat a limited diet consisting of fresh vegetables and fruits for three days prior to cleansing.

Other Options

A simple concoction of fresh lemon juice and water also can benefit your liver, according to Natural Health Remedies. You can drink this at each meal throughout the day.

Considerations

Recurring problems, such as excess gallstones and debris, should be addressed by your doctor. Healing Cancer Naturally states that a liver cleanse should not replace medical treatment, although it may help reduce your chances of requiring surgery.
