Gallbladder & Liver Cleansing

The liver and gallbladder are designed to rid the body of toxins, but a gallbladder and liver flush may give these organs an added boost. A liver/gallbladder cleanse is an option for those wishing to remove toxins from the body.

Function

Internal liver and gallbladder cleansing is said to drive harmful chemicals and germs from the body accumulated from diet, environmental pollutants and ingested medications.

Types

Flushing the liver and gallbladder is done by means of juice and water consumption, Epsom salts, oils, and selected herbal and enzymatic supplements. These programs usually take two to three days.

Benefits

Flushing the liver and gallbladder is said to aid in weight loss, cancer treatment and elimination of fat, parasites, and even gallstones.

Considerations

Side effects of a flush include nausea, vomiting and diarrhea, and contractions of the gallbladder resulting in gallstones getting lodged in the bile duct. There is no medical evidence supporting the effects of a liver or gallbladder flush.

Warnings

Cleansing the liver and gallbladder is not a cure for any medical condition and medical treatment should be sought for any and all medical conditions. Liver/gallbladder flushes can pose serious health risks when not carefully supervised by a doctor.
